STMicroelectronics adds Teseo-VIC3DA to its automotive-qualified navigation module
To support the positioning market with state-of-the-art GNSS chipset and modules, STMicroelectronics has introduced the Teseo-VIC3DA, the latest member of the Teseo module family. Teseo-VIC3DA combines ST’s high-performing Automotive Teseo III GNSS IC with the automotive, six-axis MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU) and dead-reckoning software to create a convenient, automotive-qualified navigation module. Leveraging ST’s in-house manufacturing and…
Microchip’s enhanced timing grandmaster improves deployment flexibility and security
Infrastructure communication networks — including 5G mobile, utilities, cable, transportation, defense, and data centers — must acquire and maintain signals for precise timing from Global Positioning System (GPS) or other worldwide satellite constellations. These networks require redundant backup systems when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable. Microchip Technology‘s TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.3 precision-timing grandmaster…
