Leti and LUCIOM Focusing on High-data-rate Bidirectional Transceivers for Enriched LiFi Applications

September 10, 2014

GRENOBLE, France – Sept. 10, 2014 – CEA-Leti and LUCIOM, which develops visible-light communication using light-emitting diodes (LEDs), have launched a project to develop high-data-rate LiFi transceivers. With this technology, LUCIOM expects to offer in mid-2015 one of the first high-data-rate bidirectional light-fidelity, or LiFi, products that can work with different LED lighting sources, and on mobile devices.

Visible light communications (VLC) has gained significant momentum in recent years, primarily because of expectations that LEDs will become predominant in the lighting market. As LiFi benefits from this rapid market penetration of … Read More → "Leti and LUCIOM Focusing on High-data-rate Bidirectional Transceivers for Enriched LiFi Applications"

Easy-to-use magnetic position sensor offers durable, contactless replacement for potentiometers

September 9, 2014

Unterpremstaetten, Austria (September 8, 2014), ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, today introduced the AS5600,a magnetic rotary position sensor which makes it easier than ever before to replace a traditional potentiometer with a more reliable contactless alternative.

To appeal to manufacturers and users of potentiometers, the AS5600 features a ratiometric output, mirroring the output of a potentiometer (which is a variable resistor). This means that users of a potentiometer do not need to change the application code running on their microcontroller when they replace it with a design based on … Read More → "Easy-to-use magnetic position sensor offers durable, contactless replacement for potentiometers"
