Richardson Electronics has added Nxbeam MMICs to its RF portfolio. A global agreement broadens access to GaN and GaAs devices up to 76 GHz for radar, satcom, and test equipment designs.
Renesas has pushed Wi-Fi 6 into its RA6 combo MCUs. The RA6W1 and RA6W2 integrate Ceva wireless IP to reduce external radios, simplify PCB layouts, and cut BOM cost for IoT designs.
EnSilica joins the CHERI Alliance to harden custom ASICs today. The mixed-signal supplier says it will use CHERI capability-based hardware techniques to strengthen memory safety for automotive and industrial silicon.
Rohde & Schwarz has pushed mid-range spectrum analysis to 44GHz. The new FPL1044 spans 10Hz to 44GHz and adds a 40MHz real-time spectrum analysis option across the FPL family, targeting Ka-band and adjacent high-frequency test workloads.
A UMass-led system processes touch events using memristive hardware locally. Demonstrated in Nature Sensors, the architecture combines a flexible haptic sensor array with event-triggered circuitry and a memristive system-on-chip to cut energy and latency versus conventional digital sensing pipelines.
