MEMSIC INC Introduces Industry’s Highest Performance 3-Axis Magnetic Sensor Product

MEMSIC announced the availability of the MMC5883MA 3 Axis Magnetic Sensor. The newest member of MEMSIC’s Anisotropic Magneto Resistive (AMR) based Magnetic Sensor family, it provides the industry’s highest accuracy, lowest noise and lowest power consumption, all combined in an industry standard small LGA package, and addresses the ever-increasing demands of industrial and drone applications.

Dr. Yang Zhao, MEMSIC’s chairman, president and CEO said, “With more than 300M units shipped, MEMSIC has a long history of success with its AMR magnetic sensor in a wide range of critical portable and wearable applications. Integrating innovative design architecture and optimized processes, MEMSIC’s new 3-Axis, ± 8 Gauss full scale range (FSR) MMC5883MA provides a reliable, high performance solution for industrial and drone system design and development engineers who need to provide stability and direction sensing for their designs.”

The MEMSIC MMC5883MA 3-Axis Magnetic Sensor provides 16-bit operation over a wide ± 8 Gauss operating range with linearity of ± 0.2 % FSR, hysteresis of 0.2 % FSR and repeatability of 0.2 % FSR on each of its 3-axis. Its exceptionally high performance enables faster algorithms for hard and soft iron interference correction delivering more precise and faster heading determination. The ultra-small, low profile LGA package measures 3.0 x 3.0 x 1.0 mm. and operates over the -40 C to + 85 C temperature range from a supply voltage of 2.16 to 3.6 volts. It exhibits extremely low current consumption of only 20uA at seven samples per second data rate and extremely low noise level of only 0.4 mGauss total RMS noise making it ideal for drone and industrial markets.

Winbond’s leadership in Flash innovation continues with introduction of flexible new Sequential Read function in high-speed QspiNAND Flash

Winbond Electronics Corporation extended its record of leading the industry’s innovation in specialty Flash memory with the introduction of a more flexible, high-speed read capability in its latest QspiNAND Flash products.

Automotive and IoT device manufacturers are increasingly adopting high-performance Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND Flash as a low-cost alternative at densities of 512Mbits and higher to the NOR Flash traditionally used for code storage. Previous Winbond innovations in high-performance NAND Flash include the Quad SPI-NAND interface, which shares the same 6-pin signals and QSPI command set as Quad SPI-NOR, and the Continuous Read function, which achieves up to a 52MB/s continuous data transfer rate at a 104MHz clock frequency. Now Winbond has created another innovation in high-performance NAND Flash with the introduction of the Sequential Read function in its latest high-performance W25NxxxJW QspiNAND Flash devices.

SIMCom: 6GHz Spectrum Is Open to Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6 Will Boost

As Federal Communications Commission decided to open the 6GHz spectrum, 6GHz band will be introduced into Wi-Fi applications; there will be enough spectrums to deploy 80MHz and 160MHz channels for high-throughput and non-congestion network access. Data from Dell’Oro shows shipments of Wi-Fi 6 chips accounted for 10 % of total shipments in 2019 and will reach about 90% by 2023. With the extensive deployment of 5G, Wi-Fi 6 is expected to be rapidly popularized in the next 2-3 years.

Compared with previous generations of Wi-Fi, the transmission speed of Wi-Fi 6 has been greatly improved, which is 827 times higher than Wi-Fi 1. The 6GHz spectrum enables Wi-Fi 6 to implement 59 20MHz channels, 29 40MHz channels, 14 80MHz channels and 7 160MHz channels. With the TWT technique, the wireless router only starts to connect when it receives a transmission command, so terminal power consumption can be reduced by more than 30%, and endurance is also expected to be extended.

Wi-Fi hotspots are increasingly being used in places such as shopping malls, stadiums and transport hubs. With the opening of the 6GHz spectrum and the extensive deployment of 5G networks, Wi-Fi is also promising in smart homes, smart TVs and vehicle-mounted devices. Currently, car manufacturers have explicitly required applying the Wi-Fi 6 standard to cars to reduce the use of wiring harnesses.

Competencies

Successful cooperation is based on mutual trust. Through open dialogue, we will get to the core of your company’s identity and harness your company’s full potential. Your needs and challenges drive our activities. Together, we create a scenario that is then put into action with our partners (see list of partners here). Hardware, software or a grand idea without a concept behind it is just “off-the-shelf technology”. But you should expect more: embedded systems that are tailored perfectly to your needs. That’s tailored technology.

ANALYSIS

Each process starts with an honest assessment of the current situation, taking market conditions and your core areas of expertise into account. We regard this phase as an open exchange of information in an open-minded and unrestricted way. As a trusted partner and challenger, the greatest possible benefit for you is our biggest goal.

Therefore we accept rejections, restrictions or changes to an existing order during the analysis phase. Three questions are key in this context: What do you really want to achieve? Which barriers are you confronted with? Will it take your company forward?

CONCEPT

In the concept phase, your wishes and needs are translated into proposed specific solutions and matched with the portfolios and skill sets of our partners. You will profit from our semiconductor, system and market experience as well as from our capability to make technical resources available.

The proof of concept covers not only technical but also commercial aspects providing the foundation of your business decisions.

IMPLEMENTATION

Now the “doing” phase starts: PRISMA brings together the right resources at the right time in the right place. We take care of the project management using the latest techniques as well as escalation and moderation tasks. You will benefit from smooth cooperation and fast time to market by using our extensive partner network and coordination capabilities.

The success of your project is not the end of the story: we stay by your side throughout every stage of the product lifecycle, provide technical support and assist you with sales and acquisition consulting.
