Low-power microcontrollers accelerate prototyping for sensor hubs
Small, low power microcontrollers (MCUs) in the RL78/G11 group will enable users to easily and more quickly prototype and develop systems that support low-power sensor hubs and sensor application systems, says Renesas Electronics. Sensor hubs are designed to connect to multiple sensors and convert the sensor output signals to digital data, and are used in computer operating environment monitoring for data centre thermocouples in the industrial area, wearable health management devices in the healthcare field, and environmental sensing in greenhouses and factory farms in the agricultural industry.
Wireless battery charging chipset shrinks sealed wearables
To save space and simplify enclosure design and sealing, STMicroelectronics has introduced a miniature, wireless battery-charging chipset.
Automatic aligning connectors in textile improve soldier mobility
Invisible power and data connectivity is offered with mag-Net, the auto‑aligning and self‑coupling textile-mounting garment connector that is available from TT Electronics.
