Microchip Technology has announced its next-generation in-circuit emulator for its microcontrollers and microprocessor, including Atmel-created parts such as AVR and SAM. Called MPLAB ICE 4, it connects with a host via SuperSpeed USB 3.0, High-Speed USB 2.0, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. “Ethernet connectivity provides remote debugging for applications which are monitored over long distance. Further, Wi-Fi connectivity is ...

Smartphones can be 85% accurate in identifying who is carrying them, merely by detecting motion as the person walks around normally, according to the University of Plymouth. This rises to almost 90% when they walk fast. The trial had 44 participants, aged between 18 and 56, each carring a phone in a belt pouch for 7 ...

Georgia Tech has developed a general-purpose MMIC (monolithic microwave IC) for the direct filtering and processing of microwave and millimeter-wave signals. The aim is to reduce radio power consumption by swapping some digital signal processing elements for reconfigurable analogue processing blocks. “High-speed digitisation blocks targeting microwave frequencies are expensive and consume a lot of power,” ...

Sweden’s Digital Cellulose Center is storing electricity on ‘electronic paper’ completely made of organic material. The ingredients are cellulose, conductive polymers and bio-based charcoal from coconuts, and the result is durable, electrically conductive and has a large surface area structure that can bind energy-storing materials. “Our goal is to use the paper material to build ...

Sheffield memory design house SureCore is offering intellectual property to cut register file power consumption. Branded MiniMiser, its architecture is based on a customised storage element – rather than on the foundry bit cell – and exploits the company’s SRAM power saving techniques. Multi-port and high-performance variants can be generated. “MiniMiser gives developers a new way ...
