Arduino has just announced their new Arduino Nano Matter Board, powered by a SiLabs MGM240SD22VNA MPU. The MPU features a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 core with DSP and FPU, enhancing its performance. The board supports various connectivity options, including Matter, OpenThread, BLE, and...

ThingPulse has recently released the ePulse Feather C6, an ESP32-C6-based development board with WiFi 6, BLE5, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter connectivity. In my personal opinion, the “Feather” came from the Adafruit Feather as this board resembles the Adafruit form factor....

Blues and Skylo Technologies have partnered to create the Starnote Satellite IIoT module, a backup module that costs only $49. It's a backup module meaning it will connect to a satellite connection when cellular or Wi-Fi isn’t available. The module is built in an M.2 E-Key edge...

At CES2024, AONDevice unveiled its new on-device machine learning chip, the AON1120. It features a RISC-V core, two NPU coprocessors, and a DSP, and operates at a remarkably low power consumption of just 260μW for full-load audio classification tasks. The AON1120 is a system-on-chip...

LiFePO4 Batteries: An Overview Compact electronic devices rely on concise li-ion battery packs. Lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFEPO4) or LFP battery is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate as a cathode and a graphitic carbon electrode as the anode. LFP...

Broadcom's BCM4389 chip is a client-side device supporting Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5 combo dedicated to mobile handset applications. The Wi-Fi 6E technology can operate on the 6 GHz band with 160MHz wide channels which is a progressive version of the Wi-Fi 6 technology. Hence, it enables...

Researchers at the University of Washington developed a new backscatter sensors that can operate over long ranges with very little power. The researchers demonstrated for the first time that the device runs on almost zero power and can transmit data across distances of up to 2.8...

Microchip introduced a new 64Mbit Serial Quad I/O™ memory device—SST26WF064C with proprietary SuperFlash® technology. The SST26WF064C writes with a single power supply of 1.65-1.95V and significantly lower power consumption. This makes it ideal for wireless, mobile, and...
