With the nRF54LM20A, Rutronik is expanding its SoC portfolio with the latest component from Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF54L series. This flexible wireless SoC combines an ultra-low-power 2.4 GHz radio with 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor, extensive peripherals and scalable memory configurations. Thanks to integrated high-speed USB, extended memory (2 MB NVM, 512 KB RAM) and modern security functions, the nRF54LM20A enables energy-efficient designs for future-oriented applications such as wearables, gaming peripherals or smart home solutions. The nRF54LM20A SoC and the matching nRF54LM20-DK are available for pre-order. The official sales launch is planned for Q1 / 2026.

xMEMS announces the world’s first full-range MEMS Speaker for wireless earbuds
xMEMS Labs has announced that its Cypress full-range MEMS speaker, together with the Alta-S companion drive ASIC, is now ready for mass production. This milestone represents the industry’s first commercially viable full-range solid-state audio solution capable of meeting the demanding Sound Pressure Level (SPL) requirements for noise-cancelling true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds.
Infineon expands XENSIV MEMS microphone lineup
Infineon has expanded its XENSIV MEMS microphone lineup with the introduction of the IM72D128V and IM69D129F, two innovative digital PDM microphones designed for exceptional audio performance, energy efficiency, and robustness. Leveraging Infineon’s proprietary Sealed Dual Membrane (SDM) technology, both microphones achieve a high level of robustness against water and dust (IP57), making them suitable for use in demanding environments.
TI unveils the industry’s most sensitive in-plane Hall-effect switch
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry’s most sensitive in-plane Hall-effect switch for position sensing, offering engineers a cost-effective, user-friendly alternative to magnetoresistive sensors. TI’s TMAG5134 Hall-effect switch features an integrated a magnetic concentrator, enabling it to detect magnetic fields as weak as 1mT in applications such as door and window sensors, personal electronics, home appliances, and more. This level of sensitivity allows for the use of smaller magnets, further reducing system-level costs. Additionally, the TMAG5134’s in-plane sensing capability enables it to detect magnetic fields parallel or horizontal to a printed circuit board, giving engineers greater design flexibility.
