The nRF52810 from Nordic Semiconductor is a power-efficient, multi-protocol SoC supporting Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ANT and 2.4GHz proprietary protocols.
Wearable
Starter kit based on Cross Domain Development Kit (XDK)
For the fast development of accelerometry and vibration applications, such as wearables and predictive maintenance for machines, artificial intelligence tool developer, Reality AI, has produced a starter kit. Based on the XDK by Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions, a programmable sensor device and prototyping platform, the kit enables engineers working on projects ranging from wearables for people to predictive maintenance solutions for machines to collect data quickly and exploit that data using artificial intelligence (AI). The result is a much faster path from conception to prototype and to final hardware/software design, says Reality AI.
Contactless module extends secure payment via NFC
STMicroelectronics offers a compact contactless module with boosted NFC technology, which extends secure payment to wearables.
Panasonic claims PAN1760A has lowest power Bluetooth Low Energy SoC
Panasonic Industry Europe claims that its latest Bluetooth module has the industry’s lowest power Bluetooth Low Energy SoC. The PAN1760A module benefits from a peak power consumption of only 3.3mA in transmit and receive mode. This enables advanced wireless functionalities in IoT, medical, and industrial applications without compromising battery life, says Panasonic. Mandatory and optional Bluetooth 4.2 features are supported.
