Murata and Cypress develop battery saving Wi-Fi-Bluetooth module

Fri, Apr 26, 2019

A collaboration between Murata and Cypress Semiconductor has led to the development of small form factor Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module. The Type 1LV (CYW43012) module is claimed to be the lowest power, small form factor Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module and to improve battery life in wearables, smart home products, and portable audio applications.

It is based on the Cypress CYW43012 combo chipset, the small dual-band Wi-Fi 11a/b/g/n/ (11ac Friendly) +Bluetooth 5.0 module which provides data transference rates up to 78Mbits per second on Wi-Fi and 3Mbits per second on Bluetooth.

The Type 1LV supports a range of popular processors including PSoC6, i.MX RT, STM32, i.MX, and IP camera platforms, as well as Linux and RTOS-based applications.

The Type 1LV uses enhanced hardware mechanisms and algorithms to ensure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth co-existence is optimised. An embedded Ipv6 network stack can be used to keep the host processor in sleep mode while maintaining network connections.

The module also supports BLE 2Mbits per second, LE Secure Connections, LE Privacy 1.2, and LE Data Packet Length Extension. The device operates seamlessly in dual-band networks with increased energy efficiency and enhanced security providing optimal performance in Wi-Fi 5 networks, says Murata.

The module measures 10.0 x 7.2 x 1.4mm. It will have a reference antennae design for FCC/IC certifications and CE conducted test to provide a lower development cost and faster time to market.

The Type 1LV module is now in mass production.

Partners demo IIoT security with cloud analytics

Fri, Apr 26, 2019

Adesto Technologies, IBM and NXP Semiconductors believe they have demonstrated “a new level of security for smart building and industrial IoT (IIoT) deployments”. Adesto’s SmartServer IoT edge server and the IBM Watson IoT platform, enabled by NXP’s A71CH secure element for IoT devices, provide an extra layer of security for businesses connecting their systems securely to the IBM Cloud, say the partners.

The IBM Watson IoT platform is a managed, cloud-hosted service designed to enable companies to quickly connect and derive value from their IoT devices. It enables organisations to capture and explore data to drive informed decision-making.

Adesto’s open, extensible SmartServer IoT simplifies interoperability between the diverse set of legacy systems, disparate devices, and the numerous protocols – traditional and emerging – in industrial and building automation. It provides built-in device and data management for sensors, meters, actuators and controllers through a growing range of protocols including BACnet, LonWorks and Modbus.

NXP’s A71CH provides a chip-level root of trust. Through integration with SmartServer IoT, it enables additional security when customers connect buildings to Watson without exposing keys for the lifetime of a device.

NXP’s A71CH Plug & Trust Secure Element has X.509 certificates and keys trusted by Watson, injected at NXP secure certified facilities. NXP’s trust provisioning service safeguards keys and credentials are injected in a trusted environment. When embedded into devices, the chips have the necessary keys to establish a secure TLS connection with IBM Watson IoT enabling seamless device-to-cloud connections.

The three companies will be highlighting the joint solution at the IBM IoT Exchange in Orlando Florida.

Memory storage aids AI in medical technology

Thu, Apr 25, 2019

Memories for IoT applications from Innodisk can be used in artificial intelligence (AI) for medical applications, says the company.

AI is revolutionising medical technology, says Innodisk, in diagnostics, patient care, and emergency rooms. AI works through enormous data sets to support medical staff but the technology requires sufficient computational powers.

Innodisk offers a portfolio of industrial-grade DRAM modules that have guaranteed long-term supply. It includes DDR4, DDR3 and DDR2 modules available in the same robust form factors. For extreme cases, conformal coating and anti-sulfuration measures are available to further protect the memory module.

For the design of many medical systems, it is necessary to factor in electromagnetic interference (EMI). A special circuit design with purpose-built firmware algorithms is necessary and Innodisk has customised modules with anti-magnetic properties as well as with rigid data security measures for such medical devices. Innodisk can provide solid state drives (SSDs) that offer extensive endurance and the robustness required of IoT devices in a medical setting.

One of the challenges of IoT is monitoring the many devices involved in the system. In one such case, Innodisk modified the cloud-based management tool iCAP to not only monitor the onboard component lifespan and status, but also that of the batteries in the various portable devices used at the hospital. This way, all devices are kept under one umbrella that is easily accessed through any computer, phone or tablet with a compatible browser.

Adding devices means additional ways of communication between those devices. Innodisk’s expansion cards allow medical devices to easily add new ports that offer additional LAN, display, PoE, USB capabilities.
