The first MOSFET gate driver IC in a planned series of six, the TCK241G controls the gate voltage of external N-channel MOSFETs based upon the input voltage. The driver can be used in a wide range of applications including battery powered, consumer and industrial equipment, advised Toshiba Electronics Europe.

STMicroelectronics integrates AI to MEMS sensors
Signal processing and AI algorithms have been combined in MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) sensors by STMicroelectronics. The Intelligent Sensor Processing Unit (ISPU) injects local decision-making while substantially saving space and power, says the company.
NFC IC provides security tamper detection for IoT applications
Certified security is combined with a tamper status detection mechanism and battery-free sensing in the NTAG 22x DNA StatusDetect IC family by NXP. The ICs measure a change in ambient conditions, such as moisture, liquid fill level or pressure and allow developers to combine secure authentication with opening status detection or condition monitoring of products to help maintain a secure supply chain and product integrity.
Evaluation board verifies battery management for the IoT
To verify operation of battery management in electronic devices such as wearables, industrial IoT products, such as smart cards and electronics shelf labels as well as portable devices, Rohm has developed the REFLVBMS001-EVK-001.
