Infineon has extended its embedded SIM (eSIM) portfolio, adding the Optiga Connect eSIM for mobile consumer devices. It supports all GSMA standards from 3G to 5G and securely authenticates the device to the chosen subscribed carrier network of choice. It has a small imprint, making it suitable for smartphones, tablets and wearable devices (smart watches or fitness trackers).

STM32L4+ microcontrollers bring Cortex-M4 performance to smart devices
Two microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics, the STM32L4P5 and STM32L4Q5 microcontrollers bring the performance of the Arm Cortex-M4 core to cost-sensitive and power-conscious smart connected devices, says the company. Target applications include utility meters, industrial and medical sensors, fitness trackers, and smart home products.
Flat connectors withstand higher operating temperatures
Flat flexible cable/flat printed circuit (FFC/FPC) connectors from Hirose Electric can withstand higher operating temperatures than standard FFC/FPC connectors. The FH67 series withstand temperatures ranging from -55 to +125 degrees C. This heat resistance capability enables the connector to be used in harsh automotive environments.
Microcontrollers focus on low power and IoT security, says STMicroelectronics
Security is a priority for the STM32L5x2 microcontrollers, released by STMicroelectronics. They have proprietary security which builds on Arm’s TrustZone technology and feature secure boot, full hardware isolation and crypto accelerators. They are also characterised by what is claimed to be best-in-class power management.
