As the demand grows for higher functionality and intelligence at the edge and endpoint, so does the need for greater processing power and larger memory in these devices. Applications are more feature-rich and users demand higher levels of functionality built into their products, including sophisticated graphics and user interfaces, learning algorithms, network connectivity, and advanced […]

Welcome to this edition of Wireless Wednesday. Each Wednesday NXP will bring you articles, videos, and blogs on key topics for wireless connectivity. This week’s video shows the latest Bluetooth 6 innovation, channel sounding, in action. Channel sounding brings secure, accurate, and low latency distance measurement to Bluetooth connections. Using a standard Bluetooth connection, two […]

Power management is a critical consideration for industrial applications that can significantly impact system performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) play a vital role in regulating and delivering power to various components within a system, including the processor and peripherals. Designing an efficient power management solution requires a deep understanding of the […]

The ongoing convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), in what’s being referred to as the AIoT, or Artificial Intelligence of Things, has a lot to offer developers across market segments. As connectivity becomes universally interoperable, there will be vast amounts of raw data collected in the IoT. A device equipped […]

With the advancement of human-machine interface (HMI) technology, there is an increasing demand for capacitive touch sensors that can achieve superior design and high operability, adding more value to products. Previously used mainly in high-end home appliances, capacitive touch sensors are now used in low-end home appliances, industrial equipment, building automation control panels, and even […]

The market for advanced cameras is constantly growing and, in addition to traditional applications, these cameras are now widely used in smartphones, cars, and drones. The main element of the cameras is the image sensor. An image sensor detects and conveys information used to form an image by converting the variable attenuation of light waves […]

What is Load Detection and why is it important? Sensorless motor control algorithms have no knowledge of the torque they need to produce during the startup process. If the unknown load on the motor is too large and the applied current too small, it may not be possible to start the rotor moving in the […]

There are two major applications for FemtoClock™ 3 Wireless (3W): One is wireline for 224G PAM SerDes reference clocks, and the other is wireless for “5G Advanced” radio units or small cell.   Due to GPU farm/AI node ramping in recent days, all the networking speeds are moving from 112G PAM4 to 224G PAM4 SerDes […]

Following the Thread group member meeting held in Porto, Portugal, it seems like a perfect time to give insights into the recently released Thread 1.4 spec and certification program. Thread is a robust, secure and low-power mesh network designed to seamlessly enable a diverse ecosystem of IoT devices, systems and services to be more sustainable, […]
