VHX-7000 digital microscope examines semiconductor quality
The trend to miniaturise components to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for wearable and mobile devices has enabled a myriad of tiny yet functionality-packed ICs to be inserted onto a single PCB. However, one of the issues of working in these miniscule sizes has been the difficulty of research and development professionals checking prior to mass production whether on-board components meet the stringent quality requirements that ensure they will operate reliably and repetitively throughout the life of the device.
Sounder driver shrinks audio user interface, says Diodes
An enhanced version of Diodes sounder driver, the PAM8904E, is designed for small and portable devices. It delivers higher performance at a lower voltage in a smaller package, says Diodes.
Wireless SoC stands up to demands of low power IoT
Security is taken seriously at Nordic Semiconductor, which has introduced the nRF5340 SoC, with Arm CryptoCell-312, Arm TrustZone technology and Secure Key Storage for the highest level of security, says the company. The most common internet encryption standards are hardware accelerated with the Arm CryptoCell-312, while Arm TrustZone provides system-wide hardware isolation for trusted software by creating secure and non-secure code execution areas on a single core. The nRF5340’s combined security features enable advanced root-of-trust and secure firmware updates while protecting the SoC from malicious attack, claims Nordic Semiconductor.
