Microchip simplifies hardware-based IoT security
A pre-provisioned solution that provides secure key storage for low-, mid- and high-volume device deployments using the ATECC608A secure element is now available from Microchip Technology. According to the company, the Trust Platform for its CryptoAuthentication family enables companies of all sizes to implement secure authentication.
LDO regulator improves system life and performance, says Texas Instruments
The company says that the TPS7A02 has the industry’s lowest quiescent current of less than 25 nA, which is 10 per cent that of competing devices. The low drop out linear regulator can help double battery life in power-sensitive industrial and personal electronics.
Digital IR proximity sensing module shrinks always-available earbuds
Believed to be the smallest digital proximity sensor module, the TMD2635 from ams occupies 1.0mm3 for a form factor that enables manufacturers of true wireless stereo (TWS) earbud products to develop smaller, lighter industrial designs. The IR proximity sensor enables wireless earbud in-and-out of ear detection to help extend battery life between charges and can be used in tandem with another TMD2635 to enable elementary touchless gesture control without the need for buttons.
