Design implements Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0
On Semi has issued a reference design implementing Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 protocol – which supports High Voltage Dedicated Charging Port (HVDCP) Class A and Class B specifications. It is based around the firm’s NCP4371 secondary side charge controller, which allows charger USB-bus voltage to be varied in steps from 3.6 to 20V based on requests ...

1GHz MIPS chip aimed at human interfacing
Ingenic has introduced ‘X Series’, a family of 1GHz MIPS-cored microcontrollers aimed at the more complex end of human-machine interfacing – face, voice and fingerprint recognition, as well as audio and security. The core has what Imagination Technologies, owners of MIPS cores, describes as a “mobile-level” feature set with a double-precision floating-point unit and multimedia/audio acceleration ...

Anyone for potassium ion batteries?
Potassium can work with graphite in a potassium-ion battery, claims Oregon State University, which said the last time this possibility was explored was in 1932. “For decades, people have assumed that potassium couldn’t work with graphite or other bulk carbon anodes in a battery,” said chemist Xiulei Ji. “That assumption is incorrect. It’s really shocking ...

The Weightless SIG has launched a Weightless-N development environment for low power wide area network connectivity in IoT projects. The development kits include a desktop base station with the same functionality as a commercial grade base station packaged in a non-ruggedised casing, a base station antenna, an end product module mounted on a development carrier ...
Quantum logic gate built in silicon
A team of Australian engineers has built a quantum logic gate in silicon for the first time, making calculations between two qubits of information possible. A crucial quantum computing hurdle has been overcome, according to the University of New South Wales (UNSW). “High-fidelity two-qubit gates in the solid state that can be manufactured using standard lithographic ...
