Analog Devices launches ADI Power Studio and new web-based tools

Tue, Oct 14, 2025

Analog Devices has announced the launch of ADI Power Studio, a family of products that offers advanced modelling, component recommendations and efficiency analysis with simulation. In addition, ADI is introducing early versions of two new web-based tools with a modernised user experience under the Power Studio umbrella: ADI Power Studio Planner and ADI Power Studio Designer. These new tools, together with the full ADI Power Studio portfolio, including LTspice, SIMPLIS, LTpowerCAD, LTpowerPlanner, EE-Sim, LTpowerPlay and LTpowerAnalyzer, streamline the entire power system design process. The Power Studio tools support engineers from initial concept through measurement and evaluation.

Today’s electronic systems require more power density than ever, with dozens or even hundreds of power rails and interdependent voltage domains. That complexity creates bottlenecks and requires rework during architecture decisions, component selection and validation. Power Studio addresses these challenges by providing a unified, intuitive workflow that helps engineering teams make better decisions earlier by simulating real-world performance with accurate models and automating key outputs, such as bill of materials and report generation. Together, the family of tools can facilitate shorter development cycles, reduce rework and increase speed at which engineers bring power-dense systems to market.

• ADI Power Studio Planner: The next-generation, web-based tool for system-level power tree planning, Power Studio Planner gives engineers an interactive view of their system architecture, providing clarity to model power distribution, calculate power loss, and analyse system efficiency with ease. With intelligent parametric search and tradeoff comparisons, teams can make faster, better architecture decisions from the start.

• ADI Power Studio Designer: A web-based tool for IC-level power supply design, Power Studio Designer provides optimised component recommendations, performance estimates, and tailored efficiency analysis. Built on the ADI power design architecture, Power Studio Designer offers guided workflows so engineers can set key parameters and move confidently toward simulation, configuration and evaluation. By guiding users through these steps, engineers can build accurate models to simulate real-world performance with support for both LTspice and SIMPLIS schematics before moving to hardware.

Power Studio Planner and Power Studio Designer are available now as part of the ADI Power Studio. These tools represent the first phase of ADI’s vision to deliver a fully connected power design workflow for customers, with ongoing updates and product announcements planned in the months ahead.

Infineon launches next-generation XENSIV 60 GHz CMOS radar for low-power IoT solutions

Tue, Oct 14, 2025

Infineon has launched its next-generation, highly integrated 60 GHz CMOS radar sensor. Targeting ultra-low power IoT solutions, the Infineon XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP aims to become a key sensor for Physical AI to increase the intelligence of smart home and IoT devices. The new radar sensor is fully supported by Infineon hardware and software, third-party modules, and transferable FCC certification to aid fast-time-to-market.

The new XENSIV 60 GHz CMOS radar family includes on-chip processing powered by a hardware accelerator providing customers the flexibility to access either raw or pre-processed data. By handling radar processing on-chip Infineon’s solution offloads the host processor and supports a more efficient system architecture enabling smaller form factors and cost-efficiency. Thanks to an integrated bootloader, the XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP is able to run fully autonomous ultra-low power presence detection to wake-up the host, only if required.

With up to 7 GHz bandwidth and 11 dBm output power, Infineon’s XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP detects both moving and static targets at an extended range with up to 20 m. The cost- and footprint-optimised antenna in package (AIP) design features one transmit (Tx) and three receive (Rx) channels to enable up to 150° field of view covering both dimensions azimuth and elevation. Thus, the new XENSIV 60 GHz CMOS radar sensor enables Physical AI applications to become more intelligent and allow for more natural and intuitive interactions with users, targeting applications such as security cameras, smart thermostats, smart TVs, and HVAC systems.

Together with the integrated on-chip processing and improved radar performance, the XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP increases energy efficiency and extends the battery life in smart IoT devices by enabling robust, ultra-low power presence detection. This makes it well-suited for battery-powered smart home and smart building applications which interact with the user upon presence detection like video doorbells, smart displays, and smart speakers. Dedicated software stacks support advanced features including people tracking, gesture sensing, activity monitoring, and vital signs sensing so smart IoT devices can respond more naturally to their surroundings while protecting user privacy.

Infineon’s PQC-certified contactless and dual-interface security controller

Tue, Oct 14, 2025

Quantum computers are expected to become powerful enough within the next decade to compromise many of today’s cryptographic algorithms, putting a wide range of systems at risk. Long-life products such as ePassports, IoT devices and Secure Elements, therefore, demand post-quantum cryptography (PQC)-ready hardware already today. To address this, Infineon is now providing the SLC27 security controller with a Common Criteria-certified cryptography library featuring the PQC algorithms ML-KEM and ML-DSA. As part of the TEGRION security controller family and based on the Integrity Guard 32 security architecture, the SLC27 supports standardised PQC implementations across multiple applications, enabling OEMs to integrate quantum-resistant security into their designs.

Since post-quantum cryptography represents a fundamentally new class of cryptographic techniques, involving highly diverse and complex operations, it is essential to utilise a robust and security-optimised hardware platform. The SLC27 security controller, built on the Integrity Guard 32 security architecture, provides a resilient foundation for implementing high-performant PQC, protected against side-channel and fault attacks. The controller also supports in-field updates and crypto agility, enabling OEMs to deploy PQC-ready hardware today and adapt to future requirements without replacing devices already in use. With these features, the SLC27 is suitable for applications where long device life and high security requirements demand quantum-resistant protection:

IoT devices: Industrial sensors, smart meters, and control units often operate for ten to twenty years. The SLC27 allows such devices to remain protected against future quantum attacks throughout their operational lifetime.

eID and ePassports: Government-issued ePassports and national eID cards with a typical ten-year validity can be future-proofed by integrating the SLC27, maintaining protected identification and border control systems.

Secure Elements and brand protection: Secure Elements and brand protection solutions for luxury goods, health care devices and consumables benefit from PQC-enabled SLC27 to resist tampering and counterfeiting over the long term.
