The new multi-gigahertz oscillators (XOs) and jitter attenuators raise the clock performance bar at higher frequencies while providing femtosecond-level jitter, low phase noise, and robust thermal stability without compromising programmability or power efficiency. These new clocks, marking the debut of timing solutions upstart Mixed Signal Devices (MSD), are built around a multi-gigahertz timing architecture that is based on digital CMOS technology.

When it comes to in-cabin sensing technologies, radar, 3D cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) are now redefining vehicle interiors. These technologies are pushing the boundaries of in-cabin sensing to address distinct aspects of automotive safety, cost, and user experience. Below is an update on three in-cabin sensing solutions that exemplify cost and design innovations.

I have always preferred products and designs which embody the “keep it simple” approach and stick to their basic functions done well, rather than adding many extra, often superfluous functions and features, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as “feature creep”. In general, the simpler products are easier to use and have fewer things to go wrong due to their circuitry (a.k.a. hardware) issues and software bugs.

New sensing devices claim to improve responsiveness and long-term sleep health by integrating snore detection capability into pressure sensors. These pressure sensors deliver real-time data to optimize therapy and improve user experience. Superior Sensor Technology, a pressure sensor specialist, has unveiled the CP203 and CP303 sensors for sleep apnea devices. These devices combine a differential pressure sensor and a gage pressure sensor in a single, compact module.

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are known to be a fragmented market with long lead times. Silanna Semiconductor vows to redefine ADC affordability and supply chain reliability by delivering over 150 distinct ADCs with 20 to 250 Msps sample rates. These ADCs will be factory-configured and pin-to-pin compatible to support the real-time needs of design engineers. Read the full story at Planet Analog’s sister publication, EE Times, to learn how Silanna intends to deliver this ADC promise.
