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 […]

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 […]

In today’s global economy, efficiently managing temperature-sensitive products throughout the supply chain is more than just important, it’s essential. With globalization expanding the reach of goods, products now travel across vast distances and diverse climates, introducing complexities in distribution. This makes it increasingly challenging to preserve the integrity of perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive […]

Enabling the future Digitally controlled, electronically commutated motors are rapidly displacing traditional designs due to the unprecedented dynamic control, power, and efficiency these make available to the designer. As engineers push such designs in industrial, HVAC, consumer, and automotive systems, we are asked to deliver smarter algorithms and increasingly complex control features while still constraining […]

Improving indoor air quality is a growing imperative for ensuring a healthy environment, whether at home, work, or school. According to a new report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, we spend up to 90 percent of our days inside where airborne pollutants can be up to five times higher than is typical in outdoor […]

In recent years, various new functions have been implemented in vacuum cleaners of all types and models. One critical feature is floor type detection, which helps maintain consistent operation in a number of situations and can provide many benefits, including: Reduced power consumption Easy operation for users Motor noise reduction Power consumption is a key […]

NXP has been working with community driven efforts to support a new Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform  that allows both industry and academia to bring new products and innovations to the world. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to make development hardware affordable for everyone and easier to use by making it software-centric. What […]

Designed to power the AI-enabled edge including wearables, consumer medical, smart home and HMI devices, the i.MX RT700 family delivers an optimized combination of high performance, extensive integration, advanced functionality and power efficiency. Building on the success of the i.MX RT500 and i.MX RT600 crossover MCUs, NXP announced the ultra-low power, multicore i.MX RT700 with […]

The SDV is designed to be enhanced over its lifetime through over-the-air updates. New cloud-based virtualization allows for development to take place before silicon is available and after the car is on the road. Software and hardware for embedded systems are often intricately connected. Developers are constrained by limited resources and tight deadlines and there’s […]

We are pleased to announce the release of Debian 12 (based on the Linux® kernel 6.6.3) which is now available for select i.MX and Layerscape® evaluation kits. This is the first release of a planned semiannual release cadence. Debian is widely used in the embedded market for its stability (based on rigorous testing), its choice […]
