SILICON LABS announces the acquisition of ENERGY MICRO

Silicon Labs, a high-performance analog-intensive mixed-signal IC in Silicon Labs, announced on July 1 that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Energy Micro, based in Oslo, Norway. Energy Micro has the industry's lowest power consumption 32-bit microcontroller products, and is developing a multi-protocol radio frequency solution based on the industry-leading ARM Cortex-M architecture. Energy Micro's low-power microcontrollers and RF products specialize in power-sensitive applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart energy, home automation, security systems, and portable electronic products.

This strategic acquisition will accelerate the growth of Silicon Labs and make it the most innovative company in the field of low-power embedded solutions. With the growth of the Internet of Things market and the increasing deployment of smart grids and smart energy infrastructure, more and more devices will need to be connected and operate in a low-power state, which is a low-power processing and wireless connection technology Bringing increasingly strong demand. Industry experts predict that the connected devices of the Internet of Things will exceed 15 billion nodes by 2015 and 50 billion nodes by 2020.

Editor's interpretation:

Energy Micro's products target the growing embedded market and are a powerful complement to Silicon Labs' existing 32-bit Precision32 microcontrollers, Ember ZigBee and sub-GHz wireless products. This acquisition will greatly expand Silicon Labs' MCU product portfolio. The broad product portfolio of low-power MCUs, radio frequency products, wireless connectivity and sensing solutions owned by the two companies will bring a new concept of "ultra-low power consumption" to the embedded industry. In terms of wireless connectivity, especially low-power solutions in the field of Internet of Things and smart energy.

Renesas abandons mobile modem business

The unfavorable Japanese chip supplier Renesas Electronics Corp. officially issued a statement recently to terminate its wireless modem business, which seems to be an inevitable end for the industry. Renesas acquired a wireless modem development team from Nokia in 2010, so this time all members of the team will be affected, including 1,100 employees in Finland, 300 employees in India and 30 employees in China.

Editor's interpretation:

When announcing the acquisition of Nokia's modem business, many people in the industry expressed suspicion that mobile technology has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. Since the popularity of smart phones, it has led to the reshuffle of mobile chip suppliers, and advanced technology Cellular technology is not enough to win competition in the rapidly developing communications field. A few years ago, companies such as TI, Freescale and ADI finally gave up the modem business completely. How much Renesas today is similar to their experience.

Vishay introduces the industry's highest performance thermal fuse

A few days ago, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the launch of the industry's first thermal fuse with a high current of 55A, which can work at a high temperature of + 160 ℃ for 1000 hours without unexpected failure. This new device in the Vishay Beyschlag HCTF series is AEC-Q200 certified and can safely disconnect power in high-current automotive applications.

When an overheat condition occurs within the operating temperature range of + 235 ° C (± 15K), the HCTF thermal fuse will automatically open and open the circuit. Typical applications of HCTF devices include automotive power electronics products, connected to a stable battery power supply (B + or 30 connectors), such as fan control units and liquid engine cooling pumps, fresh air control units, diesel preheaters, engine control units, ABS control Unit and diesel heater plug.

Editor's interpretation:

The current breaking capacity of this thermal fuse is much higher than other devices on the market. The current of other devices is limited to 25A at 23 ° C ambient temperature or 12A at 100 ° C ambient temperature. HCTF devices use a rugged solid-state design with high reliability.

Robot football China wins championship for the first time

On July 1, the 2013 RoboCup Robot World Cup ended in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Beijing University of Information Technology's "Water Team", representing China, became the biggest dark horse of the World Cup. It defeated the host Netherlands Eindhoven University of Science and Technology in the final of the medium-sized group 3: 2 to win the championship and took the lead in the field of artificial intelligence. Football champion dream.

Editor's interpretation:

The “push” of China ’s current economic restructuring, the “pull” of labor shortages and the trend of rising employment costs in manufacturing due to changes in the demographic structure, and the “catalytic force” of industrial policy support will trigger the booming domestic industrial robot market The first win will attract industry attention to the robot industry.

Spirent launches the industry's highest rate HTTP test

Spirent Communications in the field of network, equipment and service testing today introduced Spirent Avalanche's ESP (Extreme Scale and Performance) feature. These new capabilities can test carrier-grade security and network device performance, and support up to 8.5 million HTTP connections per second, up to 2.5 times the current industry standard, enabling Avalanche customers to bring geometric levels to a large number of new Web-connected devices The increased performance is expected to be validated effectively.

Editor's interpretation:

Spirent has once again applied market-leading innovative technology to the solution, which has more than doubled the performance of Avalanche compared to existing solutions. Avalanche ESP dramatically improves the cost-effectiveness of the solution

Microsoft's leading holographic projection will welcome big development

According to foreign media reports, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have overcome a major technical difficulty, namely letting the dream of manufacturing low-cost, high-quality holographic displays shine into reality. Scientists estimate that the cost of manufacturing holographic displays using the new technology they developed is less than 320 pounds (about 500 dollars). Soon after, consumers will be able to use their laptops to watch the mobile holograms that appear in Star Wars.

Editor's interpretation:

Faced with the challenges of Internet giants such as Google, it is expected that holograms will continue to be a weapon for Microsoft to compete, which will drive the development of the global hologram industry, especially the development of mobile hologram technology based on mobile portable devices.

Stainless Steel Pressure Gauge For Marine

High performance silicon piezoresistive pressure core is adopted to maintain the characteristics of solid-state sensor. The intelligent microprocessor is adopted to eliminate the adjustment of movable parts, so that the digital Pressure Gauge has a longer service life. LCD digital display avoids the error caused by analog display instrument in the reading process. The zero adjustment of the display value can be completed only through the button on the panel.
The reading shows that it will automatically enter the sleep working state after a period of time, and the power consumption of the pressure gauge is very low. The excellent accuracy and convenient reading make jb500 pressure gauge an ideal upgrade substitute for traditional analog pressure gauge.
