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.

Temperature sensors in WLCSP integrate into wearable designs
Temperature sensors from ams are available in a tiny 1.5mm2 wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) and can be easily integrated into existing as well as new designs, says the company.
Evaluation kit supports energy harvesting embedded controller
For the development of battery maintenance-free IoT equipment, Renesas Electronics has introduced the RE family, which encompasses the company’s current and future line-up of energy harvesting embedded controllers. The RE Family is based on Renesas’ proprietary Silicon on Thin Buried Oxide (SOTB) process technology. SOTB is claimed to dramatically reduce power consumption in both active and standby states, eliminating the need for battery replacement or recharging.
Bluetooth low energy module from u-blox includes direction finding
Features such as direction finding, long range and operation up to +105 degrees C make up the u-blox NINA-B4 series of standalone modules. They are designed for indoor positioning applications and for deployments in harsh environments.
