Second generation radar transceivers from NXP are now available for ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and AD (autonomous driving). The TEF82xx series of 77GHz RFCMOS radar transceivers is optimised for fast chirp modulation, and supports short-, medium- and long-range radar applications, including cascaded high-resolution imaging radar.  It enables 360 degree sensing for critical safety applications, […]

The 8A34001 system synchroniser is part of Renesas’ ClockMatrix family of precision timing. It is used in AMD’s Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC DFE ZCU670 evaluation kit and reference design for 5G New Radio (5G NR) and generates low jitter, precision timing signals based on the IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) and synchronous Ethernet (SyncE). It

Automotive silicon-carbide (SiC) -based power modules, the AMP32 series, have been developed by onsemi for on-board chargers. The modules, claimed the company, enable faster charging and increased range for all types of electrical vehicles. The three APM32 SiC-based power modules feature transfer moulded technology and are intended for use in on-board charging and high voltage

Linear current regulators from STMicroelectronics provide dynamic automotive lighting control using the CAN FD Light protocol. The driver is intended for use with OLED lamps for bright, homogeneous and high contrast lighting from a small surface area. The L99LDLH32 has 32 regulated current sources, independently programmable from 1.0 to 15mA. The regulator can drive individual

Enhanced eye and facial tracking have been introduced in HTC VIVE’s Focus 3 Eye Tracker and Focus 3 Facial Tracker, allowing enhanced virtual collaboration and human interaction. VIVE Focus 3 Facial Tracker makes it easy to naturally convey emotions and read intentions in real time, explained VIVE. Its mono tracking camera captures expressions through 38 blend shapes
