STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-PROTEUS1 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation tool designed for temperature and vibration monitoring. It is based on a 2.4 GHz multi-protocol wireless system-on-chip (SoC) which is suitable for performing condition monitoring in industrial applications.

The evaluation board simplifies the prototyping, evaluation and development of wireless industrial sensor nodes used in predictive maintenance. All components are mounted on the top side of the PCB to provide for easy mounting on other equipment. Comprehensive software and firmware libraries implementing vibration analysis in the time and frequency domains ease software customization and shorten time-to-market.

The main board includes the STM32WB5MMG ultra-low power wireless radio module. This module is FCC and IC certified. Based on the STM32WB55VGY wireless SoC, it complies with the requirements of the Bluetooth® Low Energy SIG specification v5.2, ZigBee 3.0, and IEEE 802.15.4-2011. The main board includes an STSAFE-A110 secure element which provides authentication and secure data management services to a local or remote host.

The board also features an IIS3DWB high-bandwidth accelerometer, IIS2DLPC ultra-low power accelerometer, and the ISM330DHCX inertial motion sensing module for vibration monitoring.

An external memory is connected via QSPI to the STM32WB5MMG module for data buffering and event storage.

The STEVAL-PROTEUS board may be powered by the lithium polymer rechargeable battery. It can also be powered via USB, 5 V at 500 mA, or a primary battery which is not included.

Application example firmware with dedicated algorithms is preloaded in the STM32WB5MMG Flash memory for easy demonstration of wireless vibration and temperature node monitoring.

Melexis

The FandriverEVB2 from Melexis is a 60 mm x 90 mm board which enables designers to program and control a device from the MLX9041x series using a graphical user interface (GUI) via a USB port.

Suitable for evaluation in the laboratory and for prototyping, the board is easy to use and portable. It offers a variety of peripheral connectors for device or motor module connections.
Software and supporting documentation, including step by step guidance, are supplied with the board.

Infineon

The OPTIGA™ TPM SLB 9672 PC evaluation board is an ideal way for developers to familiarize themselves with a ready to use trusted platform module (TPM).

STMicroelectronics

The B-G473E-ZEST1S Discovery kit, a part of the STMicroelectronics motor-control development platform, supports the ZeST and HSO algorithms. 

The B-G473E-ZEST1S is a control board featuring a STM32G473QET6 microcontroller in a ZeST Discovery pack. It works with a power board such as the STEVAL-LVLP01, an optional adaptor board such as the B-ZEST-ADAPT1, and an accessories package such as the B-MOTOR-PMSMA1. 

The B-G473E-ZEST1S control board is connected to the power board or adaptor board through an embedded V2 motor-control connector. The board can also operate with the X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1, X-NUCLEO-IHM09M1, or X-NUCLEO-IHM16M1 motor-driver expansion boards via a Morpho motor-control connector. 

The board includes an integrated STLINK-V3EC in-circuit debugger and programmer.

Rohm

The range of uses for LiDAR sensors is expanding to include not only autonomous driving, but also applications in the industrial and infrastructure fields. Improvements to LiDAR sensors are producing longer range and higher resolution.

In addition to improving the characteristics of the laser diode, it is necessary to drive the laser diode at higher speeds and power. The ROHM RLD90QZWx series is a line of 905 nm, high-power, narrow emission-width laser diodes.

The REFLD002-1 reference design includes the BD2311NVX-LB gate driver to drive the RLD90QZWx laser diode. The high speed of the BD2311NVX-LB contributes to improved LiDAR sensor range and resolution.
