Cypress details contribution to Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
Feb
The chip is the CYW43455, which can operate 802.11ac Wi-Fi at 2.4 and 5GHz, as well as simultaneous Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Prior to this, Raspberry Pi used the firm’s CYW43438 802.11n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo.…
Finalists selected for PA Consulting’s Pi programming competition
Feb
PA’s annual competition aims to inspire the innovators of the future and challenges school children and college students to put their programming skills to the test.
Some of the ideas that have made it through to the 2018 final include:…
PA’s Raspberry Pi Competition 2018 tackles Sustainability
Feb
The competition is now in its sixth year and showed its reach with more than 100 schools entering, all of them using the Raspberry Pi as the engine for their ideas.
The imaginative entries – demoed on the day to the judges at the IET – included Raspberry-Sky, to monitor air pollution by decoding aircraft ADB-S data (using “dump1090“) and crowd-sourcing th…
Picture Gallery: PA’s Raspberry Pi Competition 2018, in picture form
Feb
More than 100 schools were challenged to build projects around the credit card-sized computer that could help to ‘save the planet’. And these entries were whittled down to the nine finalists judged at the IET, at Savoy Place, last week.
The imaginative entries included ‘Raspberry-Sky’, to monitor air pollution by decoding aircraft ADB-S data (using “dump1…
Comment: Power to the Pii-ple
Feb
The third revision of the Raspberry Pi can best be summed up by the old adage of more of the same. A faster processor and Power over Ethernet capability were advertised – OEMsecrets, which powers EW-Compare, tells you what you need to know.
Raspberry Pi’s are always sold via the ecosystem. This is a promise which the foundation, by and large, manages to keep:…
This is what a crypto currency mining machine looks like
Feb
The first of the line, built around a 10nm mining chipset jointly developed by Samsung and Innosilicon, is called ‘AntEater’ and can operate at 17.2T hash/s.
“We wanted to push the envelope by developing the AntEater based on a 10nm chip because it was the newest technology available,” said Coolisys CEO Amos Kohn. “The industry has been anxious to find…
Rugged LTC RS485 transceiver
Feb
Features such as enhanced overvoltage fault protection and extreme electrical overstress protection ensure reliable data communications against the most common threats in electrically noisy environments.
The LTC2879X’s 3mm x 3mm footprint is 50% smaller than comparable devices, which helps lower PCB costs and develop condensed design formats.

Industrial monitors have 4K resolution at Amplicon
Feb
Amplicon of Brighton has introduced a range of industrial monitors, including high performance Full-HD and 4K displays.
Called Senses Industrial Monitors, that range comprises of SD displays for low-cost, less demanding applications, as well as, both Full-HD and 4K high-end displays.
The Full-HD and 4K monitors are available with either resistive touch or 10-poi…

This is what 350kW charging looks like
Feb
In this case, the station is the first in Germany built by Fastned, which operates 73 stations in the Netherlands and is preparing to expand into the UK and Belgium. By the end of the year, 18 stations are scheduled to be installed in Germany.
“As a result of falling battery prices, more and more affordable electric cars with a larger battery and more range are…
dsPIC gets two fast 16bit cores to speed development of high-performance power and motor control
Feb
Intended to speed code development by removing dependence between user-interface and real-time code, the cores are largely independent, each with its own set of peripherals, and communicating with each other only via FIFOs and mail-boxes – data and address busses are not shared.
Within dsPIC33CH, as the family will be known, the cores are similar, with one runn…
SiLabs aims at 56Gbit/s comms with low-jitter clock chips
Feb
Si5391 is an ‘any-frequency’ clock generator with up to 12 outputs and sub-100fs RMS phase jitter.
A precision calibrated version (‘P-grade’) typically achieves 69fs RMS phase jitter and can create the primary frequencies needed in 56Gbit/s serdes designs. The firm describes it as a ‘true sub-100 fs clock-tree-on-a-chip’ meeting 56G PAM-4 reference c…
EEPROM blocks write at 100µA
Feb
Austriamicrosystems says the embedded EEPROM blocks for its 0.35µm process mixed signal Asic family offer low power operation and high data retention over an extended temperature range due to its PMOS-based NV technology.
The EEPROM blocks contain a bus interface and internal charge pump. The NV process supports write currents of less than 100µA. Operation is at…
SERDES slices for platform Asic
Feb
LSI Logic has added to its RapidChip structured Asic family new design options for high speed serial applications.
Available are up to 48 SERDES (serialiser/deserialiser) elements, up to five million gates and 3.7Mbits of RAM, based on the firm’s recently introduced MatrixRAM internal memory architecture. There is also support for high bandwidth memory interfaces…
Imagination announces IoT radios
Feb
Available as intellectual property for integration into SoCs, there are versions for 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Smart, or both.
The cores are designed for low power consumption, and applications in wearables, IoT, and other connected devices are foreseen.…
