Adafruit Launches New Microcontroller For IoT And AI Integration

Adafruit’s new Metro ESP32-S3 boasts a 16 MB flash and an 8 MB Pseudo-Static Random Access Memory (PSRAM) development board.

Given its superior power and Radio Frequency (RF) capabilities, this SoC is a prime selection for applications like the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable technology, and smart home systems.

GOWIN Semiconductor & Andes Technology Corp. Announce The First RISC-V CPU and Subsystem Ever Embedded 22nm SoC FPGA

GOWIN is offering the Andes A25 RISC-V CPU IP and AE350 subsystem as instantiated hard cores in its GW5AST-138 FPGA.

This is exciting because the hardware team can populate the FPGA with their value-added design while the software team can concurrently create application code based on the rich RISC-V ecosystem.

indie Semiconductor Makes Waves with World’s First 240 GHz Silicon Transceiver

indie Semiconductor has launched the world’s first commercial fully integrated 240 GHz radar front-end (RFE) silicon transceiver. This device offers short-range, high precision and high resolution terahertz frequency radar solutions.

In addition to the growing automotive market opportunity, the resolution and bandwidth benefits of 240 GHz radar are also applicable to industrial sensing applications including material thickness measurement and analysis, end of line product quality, tank level monitoring (now accelerated through recent EU regulation), surface inspection and security scanners.
