Microchip Eases Design and Manufacturing with Small Form-Factor MPU-Based System-on-Module

As the embedded market continues to grow rapidly and evolve, developers are seeking to optimize product development, or they may need to transition from a microcontroller (MCU) to a microprocessor (MPU) to handle increased processing requirements. The new Microchip system-on-module SAM9X60D1G-SOM is an ARM926EJ-S-based embedded MPU running up to 600 MHz with software available with bare metal or RTOS support, and complete Linux mainlined distributions.

STMicroelectronics has introduced new inertial sensors that contain the intelligent sensor processing unit (ISPU) to power applications interacting with trained devices, allowing intelligence moving from “on” the edge to “in” the edge. The sensor's on-chip signal processing core, programmable with ST’s NanoEdge AI Studio, is ideal for machine-learning applications.
