Arbe has introduced imaging radar for autonomous off-road vehicle navigation. Gryphon combines 48 transmitting and 48 receiving channels with four-dimensional sensing, targeting obstacle detection and localisation where dust, darkness and difficult terrain affect optical systems.
-
Goodix has combined biometric matching with isolated credential protection hardware. Its new integrated Match-on-Chip and secure-element offering is intended to protect authentication data, API keys and account tokens in connected and AI-enabled devices.
-
Teledyne introduces three Bluetooth-enabled detectors for industrial gas monitoring applications. FREEDOM GP, XP and Xi share electronics and GF Sync maintenance functions; only XP has the stated SIL2/SC3 High Demand certification, and cartridge replacement under power depends on the approved configuration.
-
TDK has introduced programmable Hall sensing for high power converters. The CUR 3020 offers selectable bandwidth, device-level calibration and fault diagnostics for C-core current measurements.
-
TDK has introduced a redundant magnetic sensor for motor control. The HAR 3025 integrates independent Hall-sensor dies within a 4 × 4mm package, providing analogue position outputs and diagnostics for safety-critical automotive and industrial applications.
-
Vishay has introduced four optical sensors for short-range data links. The automotive-grade devices integrate infrared emitters and photodiodes for communication between battery and industrial equipment nodes.
-
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.
