Distribution News

Distributor Mouser Electronics is now stocking the i.MX 8M Plus evaluation kit from NXP Semiconductors. The kit provides a complete evaluation platform for the new i.MX 8M Plus embedded multi-core heterogeneous applications processors, the first in the i.MX series to integrate a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) for advanced machine learning inference at the edge in industrial and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The NXP i.MX 8M Plus evaluation kit includes a compact compute module with an onboard i.MX 8M Plus Quad processor and a larger baseboard that brings out the broad connectivity needed for product evaluation. The processor integrates four Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at up to 1.8GHz, plus an 800MHz Arm Cortex-M7 core for low-power real-time processing. Using the integrated NPU, the i.MX 8M Plus processor can simultaneously detect multiple highly complex neural network functions, including human pose and emotion detection, multi-object surveillance, and the recognition of more than 40,000 English words.

The NXP i.MX 8M Plus evaluation kit suits advancing designs in applications such as surveillance, smart retail, robot vision, home health monitors, smart home, smart city, building control and industrial IoT.

Anglia Components has expanded its sensor portfolio with the environmental and flow sensors from Sensirion, manufacturer of digital microsensors and systems. Anglia says the sensors will enhance its customer designs across a range of industrial and new emerging markets, such as Internet of Things sensing applications.

Commenting on the partnership, John Bowman, marketing director, Anglia, said: “We have invested in an inventory profile and evaluation/development kits to assist customers with new designs, all of which are available with no minimum order quantity via Anglia Live. Our engineers have been fully trained on Sensirion’s products and are ready to assist customers with their design-in.”

Sensirion’s environmental sensors measure key environmental parameters, such as ambient humidity and temperature, volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide and particulate matter. Their digital multi-pixel gas sensors are designed for easy integration into air treatment and monitoring devices. One of the features of Sensirion products is the use of its CMOSens technology, which allows for intelligent system integration of the sensor element, logic, calibration data and digital interface on a single chip.

The sensors can be used in intelligent household appliances, smart homes, medical applications and as well as a meant to help improve air quality. Control of air quality is thought to be crucial in combatting covid and making buildings safe for employees to return to when advised.

Sensirion’s line up of flow sensors can measure a wide range of gases and liquids. The range also includes gas meter modules, differential pressure sensors, mass flow meters for gases as well as support for customer specific solutions.

“We are pleased to announce Anglia as a new distributor. This strong new partnership will allow us to expand our reach in the UK,” said Florian Hirsch, director channel sales, Sensirion.  “Anglia already has an excellent network of customers who can now benefit from our sensor portfolio. We at Sensirion are looking forward to this collaboration.”

Ready for distribution at Mouser Electronics is the new Sterling-LWB5+ modules from Laird Connectivity.

The modules deliver wi-fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.1 communications to next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as battery-powered medical devices, industrial IoT sensors, rugged handheld devices, and other connectivity solutions.

The Laird Connectivity Sterling-LWB5+ modules are powered by the Infineon CYW4373E solution, supporting reliable and secure performance in industrial IoT settings, says Mouser. Suitable for harsh environments, the Sterling-LWB5+ modules have a solder-down module form factor to minimise the effects of vibration and impacts, as well as an industrial temperature rating of -40 to +85 degrees celsius.

The Sterling LWB5+ range provides for several small-form-factor PCB modules with options for integrated and pre-certified external antennas, as well as a couple of M.2 form factor solutions for increased host integration flexibility for designers’ Linux platforms.

For optimum integration Laird Connectivity has also produced and certified a range of internal and external antennas, along with a reverse polarity SMA cable assembly specifically for Sterling-LWB5+ modules. The antenna range includes the proven internal FlexPifa, Nanoblade and Mini Nanoblade Flex antennas as well as an external dipole antenna.

The modules support the latest WPA3 security standards, and the devices’ integrated power amplifier and low-noise amplifier aid reliable connectivity even in challenging RF environments.

The Sterling-LWB5+ devices are available in multiple antenna options and are certified to FCC, IC, CE, MIC, AS/NZ and Bluetooth SIG certification.
