BrainChip Holdings has announced the AKD1500 co-processor capable of delivering up to 800 giga operations per second (GOPS) while operating below 300 milliwatts, providing a power-efficient solution for edge AI tasks. This makes it suitable for use in battery-powered or thermally constrained systems such as wearable electronics, smart sensors, and compact embedded devices. The co-processor […]

Silicon Labs has introduced the Simplicity Ecosystem, a set of modular development tools designed to streamline embedded IoT design. The suite builds on the company’s long-standing Simplicity Studio platform, extending it into a more flexible environment that integrates installation, debugging, power analysis, and network evaluation in one framework. The new Simplicity Studio 6 release serves […]

The automotive industry’s shift toward software-defined vehicles (SDV) and electrification is forcing a fundamental rethink of development processes, component specifications, and cross-industry collaboration. During a recent technical briefing, three engineers from TE Connectivity outlined how these changes are impacting everything from 30-year-old Stage-Gate processes to sensor latency requirements and the implementation of zonal architecture across […]

Five pin-compatible processor families scale from battery to industrial

Machine learning is enabling smarter supply chains and frictionless component sourcing for design engineers The electronics distribution industry is undergoing a quiet revolution, one that's fundamentally changing how engineers source components and how distributors predict demand. At the forefront of this transformation is DigiKey, where artificial intelligence isn't just a buzzword — it's becoming the...

TDK Corporation has announced the availability of the InvenSense SmartMotion® ICM-536xx family of 6-axis inertial measurement units (IMUs) for select customers. These sensors bring optical image stabilization (OIS) capabilities to a variety of smartphones, tablets, and cameras, designed to support clearer images and steadier videos. OIS technology helps reduce the effects of hand shake and […]

Arrow has introduced the AXE5000 FPGA Starter Kit, built around the Altera® Agilex™ 5 E-series device. The kit provides a compact platform for evaluating midrange FPGA applications that require optimized performance-per-watt in small form factors. The device integrates AI tensor blocks within its enhanced DSP architecture, enabling efficient implementation of AI and signal processing functions. […]

Ironwood Electronics has recently introduced a new BGA socket design using high performance elastomer capable of 94 GHz bandwidth, very low inductance and wide temperature applications. The new GT-BGA socket is specifically designed for BGA400 package configurations and operates at bandwidths up to 94GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss while supporting enhanced power […]

Lectrix and Orbweaver have released two AI-based tools for electronic component search and technical support. Lassie provides site search functionality, while Laifae functions as a virtual field applications engineer. Both tools use OpenAI infrastructure and are designed for manufacturer websites. Lassie processes natural language queries to search across product catalogs, datasheets, CAD models, application notes,...

Latent AI and Wind River have announced a technical cooperation to integrate AI inference capabilities with real-time operating systems for edge computing applications. The partnership combines Wind River’s RTOS platforms — VxWorks, Wind River Linux, and eLxr Pro — with Latent AI’s Efficient Inference Platform (LEIP). The integrated solution targets applications requiring deterministic behavior, reliability, […]
