860 Austriamicrosystems has announced the AS8510, a high precision data acquisition front-end IC for automotive battery current, voltage, temperature sensing applications. It is also suited to sensor interface applications where precise measurement of small signals close to ground is required.

 The company claims the new flexible sensor interface IC offers advantages over alternative solutions, including being the first to feature a 16-bit dual-channel ADC + PGA architecture with less than one LSB of offset and noise. Highly configurable, the AS8510 allows systems tailored to individual needs making it well suited for a wide range of present and future battery management applications.

    The increasing availability and accuracy of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is opening up low-cost options in many areas as David Crawford finds out. Boosting commercialisation of European global navigation satellite system (EGNSS) technologies for ITS initially depends heavily on demonstrating competitive and cost/benefit advantages obtainable from the deployment of EGNOS (the current European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and ultimately the EU’s Galileo constellation (see box). So,

    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

    The new IMX420 and IMX428 imaging sensors from Sony feature its third generation CMOS global shutter. Both models come with 7 megapixel resolution, with the IMX420 reaching frames rates of up to 170fps at 10 bit pixel depth. These sensors come equipped with the SLVS-EC interface and new features like high/low conversion gain (HCG), dual trigger, dual ADC and self-triggering to increase the maximum throughput for object recognition and quality assurance of moving objects in machine vision.
