Secured payment functionality can be integrated into fashion accessories using the Infineon Technologies’ EMV-based payment solutions for key chains, rings, wristbands or bracelets. The Secora Pay W for Smart Payment Accessories (SPA) combines an EMV chip with the card OS, payment applet as well as the antenna directly on tape. The turnkey solution allows card vendors, device manufacturers, financial institutions or event organisers to quickly and cost-efficiently introduce fashion accessories for payment and even access, says Infineon.

MEMS pressure sensor can eliminate one-point calibration to increase efficiency
Claimed to be so accurate and stable that manufacturers can eliminate one-point calibration (OPC) after soldering to increase throughput and efficiency, the LPS22HH is a MEMS piezoelectric absolute pressure sensor from STMicroelectronics.
NB-IoT shield enhances ARIS-Edge platform
An NarrowBand IoT shield by Shiratech has been added to the ARIS (Arrow Renesas IoT Synergy) platform, available from the distributor Arrow Electronics. The ARIS-Edge-NB-IoT shield features a Quectel BG96 module and plugs onto the ARIS-Edge-S3 board, which is based on the low-power Renesas Synergy S3A3 microcontroller. These two boards combined, enable users to evaluate streaming of sensor data to Microsoft’s Azure cloud via a cellular connection (2G/3G, NB-IoT or CAT-M1 depending on network availability), easily and fast.
Nanopower PMICs extend battery life for IoT applications
Two integrated nanopower PMICs for IoT applications, the DA9070 and DA9073, have been released by Dialog. The PMICs are designed for ‘always-on’ IoT devices such as fitness trackers, smartwatches and smart home products which are expected to spend less time tethered to a charger, while expanding feature sets present new challenges to battery life.
