Mouser Electronics partners with Renesas to reach global IoT marketplaces
M
ouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader that empowers innovation, has announced a new global distribution partnership with Renesas Electronics Corporation, a leading supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions. Launching the relationship at embedded world, Mouser and Renesas will focus availability on the latest software, development kits, and microcontrollers (MCUs) that comprise the groundbreaking Renesas Synergy Platform. The Synergy Platform is designed to remove obstacles for design engineers and speed time to market for Internet of Things (IoT), industrial, and real-time operating system- based applications.
The Synergy Platform provides developers with immediate access to a complete embedded platform, starting with an application programming interface (API) to leverage a full software framework that is built around the best- in-class Express Logic X-Ware. This software framework, the Synergy Software Package (SSP), relieves developers from creating and maintaining low-level software repeatedly for each of their embedded projects. The platform also integrates a wide range of scalable ARM Cortex-M based MCUs fully accessible through the software APIs, powerful features of the industry-leading development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench with intuitive configuration assistance, and hardware kits for development and solutions. Since
everything has been pre-integrated, tested, and maintained by Renesas, developers can save months of work and extensive investment, freeing them to focus on innovation and differentiation of their end-products.
The Synergy MCU family at Mouser includes four different series of software-, architecture-, and pin-compatible devices. The series are tiered, starting at the high- performance S7 Series with devices operating at 240 MHz, followed by the high-integration S5 Series operating at 120 MHz, the high-efficiency S3 Series at 48 MHz, and the ultra-low-power S1 Series at 32 MHz. These devices implement easy connectivity, rock-sold security, and dependable safety, and facilitate the creation of easy-to-use human-machine interfaces (HMI). Mouser offers a selection of intuitive Synergy Kits based on S7G2 Group MCUs to simplify embedded software development. The SK-S7G2 Starter Kit provides a low-cost entry point into the entire Synergy Platform with a touch- enabled colour QVGA TFT display. Next, the DK-S7G2 development kit provides full access to all MCU pins and features for deeper evaluation and development. Finally, the PE-HMI1 Product Example kit provides a connected HMI panel with seven-inch WVGA color display plus high- speed wired and wireless communications to serve as a baseline for end-product development.

New TAT series miniature rugged waterproof connectors from HTK Europe Ltd
H
TK Europe (Honda Connectors) has released a new family of miniature rugged waterproof connectors designed for high speed sensors and devices used in harsh environmental applications. Our TAT series of connectors have
already received positive feedback from a number of leading vehicle and automotive device manufacturers where TAT has been specified for use with high resolution camera’s operating outside the vehicle. TAT series is a 4 pin in-line positive latch lock connector on a 2mm pitch grid. The plug diameter is 11.2mm and will therefore accommodate difficult panel pass through for apertures has small as 12mm. It has been designed and tested for automotive use and will deliver IPx9k

Accelerate product expansion and maximise software investment with the new SimpleLink MCU platform
T
he new Texas Instruments (TI) SimpleLink microcontroller (MCU) platform is transforming the pace of
product proliferation by uniting a robust set of hardware, software and tools under a single development environment. Built on a shared foundation of drivers, frameworks and libraries, the SimpleLink MCU platform’s new software development kits (SDKs) enable scalability
with 100 per cent code reuse, reducing design time and allowing developers to invest once and leverage across multiple products. With the ability to choose any device from the industry’s broadest portfolio of 32-bit wired and wireless ARM-based MCUs, Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial products can easily adapt to changing design or application requirements.
New security-enhanced Wi-Fi products join the SimpleLink MCU portfolio
E
and is shielded for EMI/RFI emissions. TAT series is suitable for many types of applications in automotive and non automotive, where high speed USB or LVDS signalling is required in harsh or wet environmental conditions.

xpanding the device offering of the SimpleLink MCU portfolio, TI also announced a new generation of Wi-Fi chips and modules – the new SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3220 wireless MCU and CC3120 wireless network processor. The CC3220 products are built on a novel architecture, with two physically separate execution environments in a single chip. The CC3220 devices include rich embedded security features such as secure storage, cloning protection, secure boot and networking security. Through these new features, developers now have powerful tools to help them protect IoT devices
from intellectual property (IP) and data theft or other risks without using an external secure MCU or element. In addition, like other SimpleLink products, these new devices enable Apple HomeKit technology. Continuing to deliver the lowest power, easy-to-integrate Wi-Fi CERTIFIED solutions, the CC3x20 family of devices empowers designers to create products that can be sent to production in six months and can run on two AA batteries for years.
