Microcurrent humidity sensor offers +/-3% accuracy
HDC1050 is a 1.3µA ±3% accurate digital humidity sensor, that includes a ±0.2C accurate thermometer. That supply current it at 1sample/s and 11bit resolution, which can be raised to 14-bit, and a sleep mode offers 100nA quiescent. . Output is over I2C interface and operation is 2.7-5.5V and -40 to 125C for the temperature sensor and -20C ...

Ambiq claims ARM Cortex-M4 power record
Ambiq Micro has topped EEMBC’s ultra-low power benchmark for microcontrollers, doubling the previous highest score (STMicroelectronics STM32L476RG). The firm’s Apollo MCU scored 377 on ULPBench. The secret sauce is sub-threshold operation, where Ambiq appears to be succeeding where many others have failed. “We have confirmed that the Apollo MCU scores were achieved in compliance with ...

Linux gets MOST automotive bus driver
Linux Mainline Kernel will include a driver for the MOST (media oriented systems transport) automotive bus, starting with kernel version 4.3. “The driver enables access to all MOST data types and supports the USB, MediaLB and I2C interfaces of MOST network interface controllers,” said MOST Cooperation technical coordinator Dr Wolfgang Bott. “The driver supports standard ...

Another step on the road to fusion power?
In 1982 scientist Fritz Wagner discovered a stable operation mode in plasma at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany. Now called H-mode, it was stable and had twice the confinement of other modes. Applicable to tokamak (toroidal) plasma vessels, it is now the mode that nuclear fusion experiments are designed to operate ...

Lumileds delivers 4,000 lm for streetlights
Aiming at outdoor applications, Lumileds has created Luxeon XR-M light engines. The building blocks combine 3, 4 or 5 Luxeon M LEDs on a metal core PCB for streetlights, and high bay and low bay luminaires. LEDs are spaced to suit “industry standard optics”, said the firm. 3,300 to 5,500 lm is available in colour ...
Lumileds reveals the science behind ‘CrispWhite’ LEDs
How do you get that ‘whiter than white’ look in clothing? You add fluorescent dyes to the cloth that absorb short wavelength sunlight – violet and ultra-violet – and re-emit it as blue. Visually, this extra blue works against any yellowing of ‘white’ cloth to give a white-than-white look. This same fluorescence is what makes ...
