ST’ precision op amp brings accuracy, speed, and stability

Mon, Dec 15, 2025

ST’ TSZ901 operational amplifier (op-amp) combines precision and zero-drift properties with 10MHz gain-bandwidth (GBW), adding enhanced stability to applications that demand high speed with high accuracy.

Leveraging chopper-stabilisation, unusual among 10MHz op amps, the TSZ901 has input-offset voltage of just 5µV at 25°C and within 8µV across the full operating-temperature range from -40°C to 125°C. Unlike op amps that require trimming to deliver required accuracy only within a limited temperature range, this one delivers consistent performance at all temperatures.

With input noise of just 9nV/√Hz, the TSZ901 demands minimal power, drawing just 1.5mA at 5V and operating with a supply voltage from 5.5V down to 2.5V.

These properties ensure the TSZ901 performs strongly in circuits such as MEMS-sensor interfaces, current-sense amplifiers, precision active filters, instrumentation buffers, transimpedance amplifiers, precision analog front-ends, and voltage references. Designers can minimise calibration and external compensation components to lower overall circuit footprint and complexity, simplify design, and reduce the bill of materials. Production test can be faster and lifetime maintenance can be reduced.

New ultra-compact wireless SoC from Nordic Semi for miniaturised applications

Fri, Dec 12, 2025

With the recently launched nRF54LV10A, Rutronik is expanding Nordic Semiconductor’s ultra-low-power wireless portfolio with a new, particularly energy-efficient system-on-chip (SoC) for miniaturised applications in the medical and wearable segment. The SoC combines an extremely compact chip-scale package with high computing power, advanced security features and a radio architecture that supports Bluetooth LE, proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols and Bluetooth channel sounding in low-voltage operation for the first time. Samples and development kits of the nRF54LV10A are available through an early access program.

The nRF54LV10A sets a new benchmark in the field of low-voltage wireless SoCs. Developed for battery-powered medical devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and wearable biosensors, its supply voltage of only 1.2 to 1.7 volts allows it to be powered directly by silver oxide button cells – without additional voltage regulators.

At its core is a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor combined with a 128 MHz RISC-V coprocessor, which provides accelerated calculations and energy-efficient processing. In addition, the SoC has 1 MB NVM and 192 KB RAM, enabling demanding real-time applications and wireless protocols to run simultaneously.

The integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver supports Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth Channel Sounding for accurate distance measurements, and proprietary protocols with data rates up to 4 Mbps – ideal for latency-critical sensor applications.

For safety-critical healthcare products, the nRF54LV10A offers comprehensive protection mechanisms, including secure boot, secure firmware update, trusted execution environment via Arm TrustZone, cryptographic accelerators and integrated tamper detection.

Nordic’s architecture – including low-leakage RAM, multi-protocol radio and global RTC in system-OFF state – facilitates the development of long-lasting wearables with minimal system complexity. Low-voltage GPIOs allow sensors and MCUs to be connected without level shifters, further reducing space requirements.

Application examples:
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)
Wearable biosensors & medical monitoring devices
Connected-health solutions
Fitness & wellness trackers
Low-voltage sensor nodes and compact IoT devices

Innodisk unveils camera module and adapter board for Edge AI vision

Wed, Dec 10, 2025

Innodisk has announced its latest GMSL2TM camera module and adapter board series, designed to deliver long-distance, low-latency, and robust image transmission for demanding edge AI applications. Built for streamlined integration, the solution enables precise real-time analysis across mobility, robotics, and industrial surveillance applications.

The Innodisk GMSL2TM series supports cable lengths up to 15 meters with FAKRA cable, delivering up to 13MP high-resolution imaging. Powered by the Sony ISX031 sensor, featuring integrated ISP with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM), the module captures clear, stable images in challenging lighting conditions from bright sunlight to dark tunnels, and removes visual artefacts caused by pulsed LED lighting. It ensures precise brightness control and consistent imaging performance.

With IP67/IP69K ruggedised housing, the GMSL2TM camera withstands high-pressure washing, dust, water, and vibration, which is ideal for mines, ports, construction vehicles, logistics facilities, and outdoor robotic systems.

To accelerate time-to-market and reduce integration complexity, Innodisk provides customisable adapter boards optimised for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform. This approach enables rapid development and validation for system integrators. The solution supports multi-camera, synchronised streaming. Customers can quickly implement multi-view AI perception and sensor fusion capabilities. This enhances AI accuracy and autonomous decision-making in real-world applications.

Innodisk, together with its subsidiary Aetina, offers edge AI heterogeneous platform solutions with comprehensive visual sensing capabilities, and also collaborates with partners including Advantech, ASUS, and ASRock Industrial to deploy GMSL2TM camera modules across multiple platforms, reaching a wider range of vertical markets.
