Faraday has released silicon-proven dual-protocol MIPI IP for advanced sensors. Its 14nm design supports C-PHY and D-PHY interfaces while sharing circuits to reduce area.
-
TDK has expanded worldwide access to its PositionSense orientation platform. Four hardware pairings combine a six-axis inertial sensor with a three-axis magnetometer and on-chip fusion software.
-
Nikon has confirmed its DSP-110 digital lithography system specifications today. The advanced packaging tool is due for release in April 2027, offering 72 panels an hour under defined test conditions.
-
ams OSRAM has joined a new optical interconnect standards effort. The Credo-led Open Compute Project workstream will address parallel micro-emitter links, building on existing VCSEL demonstrations and targeting a common specification in 2027.
-
Polar will manufacture enhancement-mode GaN devices using technology from imec. The US foundry has agreed a process transfer covering initial 40V-to-650V devices, while IC-Link will provide a path from design work towards commercial manufacturing.
-
AVL has integrated VisIC gallium nitride modules into a vehicle. The demonstrator extends earlier dynamometer work into a complete electric drivetrain, although published peak efficiency results still come from bench tests.
-
GigaDevice has added eight GD32 development boards to LVGL resources. The published manifests and demonstration projects span Arm and RISC-V microcontrollers with different display interfaces, while the current projects retain LVGL 8.3.11 rather than version 9.
-
Credo has outlined a parallel optical cable for AI infrastructure. Its proposed 1.6T ZeroFlap design divides high-speed electrical lanes among lower-rate optical channels, with a target reach of 50 metres and shipments planned for 2027.
-
Marvell has introduced two six-channel CXL memory expansion controller designs. Structera X 3406 and 3506 support DDR4 or DDR5 respectively, adding PCIe 6.0 host connections, multi-host sharing and compression ahead of planned sampling in 2027.
-
Lumentum and partners will demonstrate optical PCIe links within racks. Their proof of concept combines 1060nm VCSEL arrays, Corning multimode fibre and Astera Labs Scorpio switching, targeting parallel 32Gb/s NRZ channels and an error-free PCIe 5 link.
