Claimed to be the world’s smallest rotary position sensor, the SVM4 sensor at 4.0 x 4.5 x 2.0mm is approximately an eighth of the size of the company’s previous position sensor the SV03.
Sensors
Sensor hubs is low power to extend battery life
At just 75uW (68µA at 1.1V) active power consumption, the ArcticLink 3 S2 LP sensor hub from QuickLogic is the lowest power programmable sensor hub on the market, claims the company.
NFC sensor transponder is programmable and ISO 15693-compliant
Designed for industrial, medical, wearables and IoT applications, the RF430FRL15xH NFC sensor transponders are the industry’s first programmable, ISO 15693-compliant 13.56MHz sensor transponder, claims Texas Instrument. The SoC integrates a low-power microcontroller with non-volatile FRAM with the NFC interface with a programmable microcontroller, an ADC and SPI or I²C interface. The dual-interface NFC sensor transponder is optimised for use in passive (battery-less) or semi-active modes for extended battery life in consumer wearables, industrial, medical and asset tracking applications.
Film temperature sensors flex for wearable products
Surface-mounted NTC temperature sensors, packaged on a flexible printed circuit (FPC) film, are approximately 100µm thick, and can be routed inside tight spaces.
