The Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and automotive electronics are the three strong whirlwinds of this year's Shanghai Electronics Show in Munich, and Shiqiang is extremely eye-catching in these three areas. At the booth of Shiqiang, you will see Shiqiang in these market segments, such as smart Internet of Things, wearables, smart mobile terminals, intelligent robots, car networking, automotive safety driving assistance (ADAS), new energy vehicles, industrial automation. New devices and solutions in other fields have received great attention from visitors on the spot.
Soft and hard, both efficient and low-cost, leading core components to build the IoT smart ecosystem
The business opportunities in the Internet of Things are just right. After the smart terminal, the Internet of Things has been regarded as the “Next Big Thing†of the semiconductor industry, becoming the new engine for the development of the electronics industry. According to Gartner's prediction, the processing, sensing and communication semiconductor components related to the Internet of Things are bound to become one of the fastest growing areas in the entire semiconductor market. The growth rate is expected to reach 36.2% in 2015.
Shiqiang provides the IoT with a complete product portfolio from sensors to MCUs, from wireless products to analog devices. These products fully meet the requirements of the Internet of Things for core devices, including: many types, small size, fast speed, low power consumption. Good software and hardware compatibility, and equipped with Shiqiang professional technical support, will save your product development cycle and cost.
In the perception layer of the Internet of Things , Avago's six-in-one light distance Sensor APDS-9960 with gesture recognition function combines six functions of gesture, RGB, IR BEAM, ALS, PS and LED. It is especially suitable for use in a new generation of intelligent terminals.
The APDS-9960 continues the package and pin definitions of its predecessor, the APDS-9930, so that both can be directly Pin-Pin compatible replacement. Customers do not have to redesign the circuit and only need to adjust the structure. In terms of performance, the APDS-9960 expands the dynamic voltage range, enabling the APDS-9960 to adapt to different handset hardware platforms and interface voltages. The ambient light dynamic range is also increased to 30K lux, which greatly increases sensitivity and avoids strong light interference.
At the application level , Shiqiang's Silicon Labs EFM32 32-bit microcontroller, known as the world's most energy-efficient MCU, is compared with the benchmarks of the top 10 other low-power microcontrollers on the market today. EFM32 Micro The controller consumes only a quarter of the energy of other 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit microcontrollers.
Key features of the EFM32 32-bit microcontroller include: 3v power supply, running Flash code, low to 110μA/MHz in active mode, standby current as low as 900nA, and 2μs fast wake-up. Particularly suitable for applications that have low power requirements and are sensitive to energy consumption, including energy, water and gas meters, building automation, alarm and security systems, portable medical and fitness equipment.
It is particularly worth mentioning that we also saw the products of Bluegiga (acquired by Silicon Labs earlier this year) at Shiqiang's booth. Bluegiga's popular Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules, software stacks and development tools are available with Silicon Labs' 802.15.4 ZigBee, Thread Grid Network Software, Ultra Low Power Sub-GHz Solutions and Wireless Microcontrollers (wireless MCUs) ) and transceivers and other products complement each other. Silicon Labs and Bluegiga work together to provide customers with a "one-stop" standards-based wireless networking solution that includes a wide range of high performance, long range and ultra low power options.
In terms of wireless connectivity, Bluetooth is one of the basic connections for the Internet of Things. Cypress's Cypress low-power Bluetooth solution simplifies the development process and shortens the time it takes for IoT products to enter the market. Its highly integrated low power Bluetooth BLE integrates capacitive touch/touchpad and antenna matching network; integrates 4 programmable digital units; visualizes Bluetooth protocol stack configuration; rich interface (supports 4 SPI, 2 I2C , 3 UART).
In addition, Silicon Labs' CMEMS clock chip is also worthy of attention in many of ISK's IoT products. Its Si501/2/3/4 CMEMS single-chip structure oscillator is lower in cost and reliability than traditional crystal oscillators. Higher and longer life. With strong shock and vibration resistance, it provides ±20 ppm frequency stability, guarantees a 10-year service life, and sample delivery is as low as 2 weeks.
Industrial Automation - Building an efficient, safe and stable servo control system
In order to solve the problem of manufacturing and upgrade to “intelligenceâ€, in the industrial sector, IHS estimates that the global industrial semiconductor market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% from the $34.8 billion in 2013 and grow in 2018. To $55.2 billion; corporate capital expenditures and continued macroeconomic growth, especially in the United States and China, have helped to stimulate demand in the industrial semiconductor market and sales growth.
Shiqiang is one of the largest suppliers of electronic components in the servo field . We provide a wide range of complete device solutions from core control to peripheral isolation for customers in the industrial sector. Shiqiang has also cooperated with leading companies in the servo industry for more than ten years and has been awarded excellent suppliers for many times. At this exhibition, we saw Shiqiang's strong strength in the areas of isolation, industrial Ethernet, circuit protection, and power electronics.
Avago's drive-isolated optocoupler products offer low propagation delay, fast IGBT switching, high common-mode transient suppression and enhanced insulation to provide customers with a low-cost, high-performance solution with a market share of up to 70%, which is fully validated Its performance and reliability. The high-speed isolated optocoupler with an Avago propagation delay of only 40ns is particularly interesting. The product has the advantages of low power consumption (Icc<100μA) and wide voltage (Vcc=3-5V). Particularly suitable for use in servo control systems that require high performance.
As the industrial field continues to evolve toward smart factories, communication networks have become an important part of improving productivity and real-time processing capabilities. Today, CC-Link IE, EtherCAT, PROFINET and many other complex industrial protocols and a wide variety of applications lead to long and complex development cycles. Shiqiang demonstrated Renesas' latest SoC chip R-IN32M3 for industrial Ethernet communication, which supports EtherCAT, CC-Link IE, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, CANopen and other protocols with a single device. cost.
