Claimed to offer the world’s best time accuracy across industrial temperature range at low current consumption, the RV-3032-C7 real time clock (RTC) module has been released by Micro Crystal. The compact RTC module has a custom IC and integrated quartz crystal resonator and sets new standards in size, claims the company. It is half the footprint of a uSOP-8 package, with no additional external components required. It is also claimed to offer the best accuracy (±0.26 s/day at -40 to +85 degrees C operating temperature). Low current consumption (160nA timekeeping mode) and power management capabilities are other features.
IoT
MCUs integrate peripherals for sensor-based IoT applications
Sensor-based IoT applications use a combination of analogue functionality and digital control capability to meet cost, size, performance and power parameters for efficiency. In response, Microchip has combined analogue peripherals and multi-voltage operation with inter-peripheral connections in its PIC18-Q41 and AVR DB MCU families. In addition to these attributes for increased system integration and reduced signal acquisition times, they offer the convenience and efficiency of operating in a single design environment, says Microchip.
Bluetooth LE chips enables Wi-Fi 6 to boost IoT performance, says NXP
Claiming to usher in a new phase of connectivity for gaming, audio, industrial and IoT applications, NXP Semiconductors has introduced a family of 2×2 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Dual Band + Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices which enable the world’s first Wi-Fi 6 enabled gaming console, says NXP.
Image sensor minimises distortion in machine vision and mixed reality applications
A combination of a high dynamic range and pixel design means that the AR0234CS CMOS global shutter image sensor by ON Semiconductor delivers image clarity at 120 frames per second.
The 2.3 Mpixel CMOS image sensor, with global shutter technology is designed for a variety of applications including machine vision cameras, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) headsets, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and barcode readers.
