In addition, with the MPLAB Code Configurator, base code can be […]
How can you harvest RF energy?
At Sensors Expo, Eric Biel, an engineer from Powercast Corporation, explains how radio frequency or RF energy can be used in energy harvesting applications. RF wireless power transmitted by the PowerSpot transmitter is received by two receiver sticks with LEDs. The TX91503 PowerSpot transmitter broadcasts an RF signal in the unlicensed 915 MHz industrial, scientific […]
How can asynchronous power produce longer battery life?
At Sensor Expo 2018, Paul Washkewicz, Vice-President of Marketing for Eta Compute explains how his company’s application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) uses asynchronous logic to lower the power to the microcontroller unit (MCU) to extend battery life. The ASIC is based on an ARM M3 and has a CoolFlux digital signal processor (DSP) from NXP in […]

What’s new in microcontrollers for sensing?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Jason Wellman from the 8-bit marketing division at Microchip Technology demonstrates the noise improvement and other capabilities of the advanced analog to digital converter (ADC) on the company’s recently introduced ATmega4809 microcontrollers (MCU). As a Core Independent Peripheral (CIP), the ADC filters and averages random noise as well as periodic noise […]
How can sensors make a smart ball?
At Sensor Expo 2018 in San Jose, CA, an expert from NXP Semiconductors describes the Internet of Things (IoT) smart ball demo that NXP had in its booth. Sensors in the ball provide real-time data and the system can publish the data to the cloud using IBM Bluemix Services. The data includes 3-axis measurements from […]
How fast can a MEMS pressure sensor respond?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Giovanni De Majo from audio and pressure sensor product marketing at ams AG, discusses the company’s pressure sensor demo. Using two pressure sensors, the demo indicates relative height. Manually moving the pressure sensor up a measuring stick that shows the height change, a display also provides a continuous measurement from a […]
