Skyworks introduces two front-end modules
Two modules from Skyworks, the SKY66118-11 and the SKY66407-11, are 2.4GHz front-end modules for Bluetooth internet of things (IoT) applications. They can be used for smart watches, trackers, connected home systems, wireless and gaming headsets.
Waterproof digital sensor measures air and water pressure
Low power consumption, due to a dedicated, customised application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) helps the HSPPAD143A waterproof digital pressure sensor, realise a low current consumption, says Alps Alpine.
Research indicates Pohoiki Beach chip for neural-inspired algortithms
An eight million neuron system, comprised of 64 Phokiki Beach chips, the codename for Loihi chips, is now available to the research community. The neuromorphic system will allow researchers to experiment with Lohi, Intel’s brain-inspired research chip, which applies the principles found in biological brains to computer architectures. Loihi enables users to process information up to 1,000 times faster and 10,000 times more efficiently than CPUs for specialised applications like sparse coding, graph search and constraint-satisfaction problems.
