The 5G Boom Promotes the Development of RF Devices

Image
In a wireless communication system, there integrated circuits are needed--fundamental frequency (BB), intermediate frequency (IF), and radiofrequency (RF), which convert and transmit the received signal to realize the communication function. Generally speaking, RF is responsible for receiving and transmitting high-frequency signals, the fundamental frequency is responsible for signal processing and storage, etc. The intermediate frequency is the bridge between RF and BB so that the signal can be smoothly converted between high-frequency signals and fundamental frequency signals. RF devices, the key components of various wireless communication equipment such as mobile phones, are mainly responsible for generating, sending, receiving, and processing high-frequency electromagnetic waves. Unlike AD/DA, which converts analog and binary digital signals, RF technology amplifies weak low-frequency analog signals into high-frequency electromagnetic waves to transmit information and filters the ...

New Spectral Sensing Technology for Detection of COVID-19

Image
General Description of AS7341L AS7341L is a 10-channel spectrometer for spectral identification and analytic applications used in mobile devices. The spectral response is defined in the wavelengths from approximately 350nm to 1000nm. 6 channels can be processed in parallel by independent ADCs while the other channels are accessible via a multiplexer. 8 optical channels cover the visible spectrum, one channel can be used to measure near infra-red light and one channel is a photodiode without filter ("clear"). The NIR channel in combination with the other VIS channels may provide information about special characteristics of analytes (e.g. Lateral Flow Tests).   The device can also be synchronized to external signals via pin GPIO.                                                  Ams Semiconductor AS7341L Spectral Sensor Solution AS7341L integrates filters i...

NVIDIA Introduces the World's Smallest Edge AI Supercomputer, $399 to Change AI Chips

Image
NVIDIA   released the AI big move, they introduc ed the smallest and most powerful edge AI supercomputer Jetson Xavier NX , a hardware with only one bank card size, can provide up to 21 TOPS calculations at 15W power consumption.   And for just $399, you can take it home. This is also a new breakthrough made by NVIDIA in the calculation of AI reasoning. Jetson Xavier NX has expanded their Jetson family product line, and NVIDIA has become more and more versatile in making AI money with GPU. The Sparrow May be Small but It Has All the Vital Organs. Judging from the officially released parameters, this small-sized supercomputer can be said to be "small but complete": GPU: 384-core NVIDIA Volta GPU and 48 Tensor cores; CPU: 6-core Carmel ARMv8.2 64-bit CPU (6MB L2 + 4MB L3); A ccelerator : Dual NVIDIA Deep Learning Accelerator (NVDLA) engine; RAM: 8GB 128-bit LPDDR4x; 51.2GB/sec; Computing power : 14 TOPS (when power consumption is 10W) or 21 TOPS (when po...
