Artificial intelligence (AI) which was previously limited to expensive machines with large power budgets can now be embedded in space-constrained, power-powered edge devices. Maxim Integrated says its MAXREFDES178# camera cube executes low latency AI vision and hearing inferences on a coin cell power budget with reduced cost and size.

SDRAM halves power consumption compared to LPDDR4s says Alliance Memory
Battery life in portable electronics can be extended with the 8Gbit AS4C256M32MD4V-062BAN SDRAM, says Alliance Memory. The latest addition to its high speed, CMOS mobile low power SDRAMs is a LPDDR4X device, featuring on-chip error code correction (ECC).
Payment bracelets interpret gestures and use biometric data
Collaboration between Italian start-up, DEED and Infineon Technologies, is showcased at MWC21. The get bracelets interpret human gestures and use biometic data to pick up a call or make payments.
Dialog Semiconductor uses low power flash memory to increase hearable lifetimes
Reducing the footprint of a hearable device, such as an ear bud, by using smaller batteries can come at the cost of shorter runtimes between recharges, advises Dialog Semiconductor. Hearable devices frequently read data to support advanced functionality such as connectivity, auto-pairing, charge cradle data exchange and equalisation. Dialog Semiconductor has developed the AT25SL128A Flash to minimise power consumption. It features low power, 1.8 V operation, fast read, low profile wafer level chip scale packages (WLCSPs) and is intended for small IoT devices like hearables.
