Three companies – STMicroelectronics, ETAS and Escrypt, an ETAS subsidiary – are collaborating with the aim of delivering a platform comprising microcontrollers, software tools and security solutions that accelerates development of automotive control units for connected cars.According to the partners, their goal is a cost-effective...

What is said to the largest and most comprehensive online semiconductor database has been unveiled by Chipworks. Called Inside Technology, the database gives access to Chipworks’ analysis of thousands of devices and technologies. The web portal is said to streamline the user’s ability to find competitive differentiators, as well as...

The new Radio Equipment Directive (RED) has came into force in Europe. It aligns the previous Directive with the new legislative framework for the marketing of products, setting requirements for safety and health, electromagnetic compatibility and the efficient use of the radio spectrum.Unlike the previous Directive, RED puts emphasis on receiv...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have used a small electric current to introduce oxygen voids that dramatically change the conductivity of thin oxide films. They say the discovery improves their understanding of how these materials work and could be useful for new electronics, catalysts or more.Oxides...

A new type of supercapacitor material developed at the University of Amsterdam is said to have potential applications in electronics, transportation and energy storage devices.Dr David Eisenberg and Professor Gadi Rothenberg of the University’s Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences discovered the material during work on a fue...

Karamba Security has released Carwall, in-car security software that automatically secures connected cars against cyberattacks. Carwall software keeps connected cars safe by sealing the car’s controller software, so it can immediately detect and prevent cyberattacks from exploiting the car controller’s software security vulnerabilities....

The REAL3 camera sensor chip developed by Infineon at its Graz competence centre for advanced semiconductor solutions is featured in the PHAB2 Pro smartphone from Lenovo.Combining analogue and digital signal processing with high data rates, the device integrates the pixel array, control circuitry, A/D converters and the digital high-speed inter...

A series of 24bit simultaneous sampling sigma-delta A/D converters from Analog Devices is targeted at use in wide bandwidth, high density instrumentation, energy and healthcare equipment.The AD7768 series includes a power scalable modulator and a digital filter on each channel to enable synchronised measurement of AC and DC signals in instrumen...

Today’s ‘half duplex’ radios send signals and receive signals, but can only perform one of these functions at a time. Full duplex radios have the potential to double spectral efficiency, but would also generate double the amount of interference.Looking to address the problem, researchers from New York University (NYU) and Trin...

Qualcomm Technologies has unveiled the Qualcomm Connected Car Reference Platform, designed to enable automakers and their suppliers to explore, prototype and commercialise connectivity designs using modules and solutions featuring on its roadmap.The platform features a range of Qualcomm technology, including Snapdragon X12 and X5 LTE modems, qu...
