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).
Compact battery chargers are dedicated to charging in tight spaces
As wearable, medical and smart sensor products use streamlined power management for energy harvesting hardware, e-peas has developed a family of battery charger devices, dedicated to charging. The company’s existing power management ICs (PMICs) offer direct power delivery to the application, as well as the charging of energy storage elements (such as Li-Ion batteries or super capacitors), but the AEM10900, AEM10300 and AEM30300 are fully dedicated to the charging function. This allows them to be used where a simpler implementation can be used and where there are space or cost constraints.
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.
