Weartech-Components & Hardware

u-blox has announced the launch of the UBX-M10150-KB chip and the MAX-M10N module – the first M10-platform GNSS hardware designed with firmware upgradeability. Both products run the new SPG 5.30 firmware, introducing Low Energy Accurate Positioning (LEAP) – a mode that reduces power consumption by up to 50 percent while maintaining superior positioning accuracy. Designed for battery-powered devices, the new chip offers ultra-low power consumption of just 8 mW in continuous tracking. The new products are ideally suited for vehicle, people, and pet tracking, as well as livestock monitoring and wearable applications.

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.
