  • New Product – Mouser Shipping New Microchip Technology PIC64GX RISC-V Microprocessor for Industrial, Automotive, Aerospace and IoT Applications

Mouser is now stocking the PIC64GX microprocessor (MPU) from Microchip Technology. The PIC64GX MPU is a 64-bit Linux® Operating System (OS)-capable processor that provides an innovative, mid-range, embedded compute platform based on the RISC-V® instruction set architecture (ISA). These MPUs bring micro-architecture implementation in a simple, five-stage, single-issue ordered pipeline that is invulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre anomalies that frequent common, out-of-order machines. The PIC64GX has five RISC-V cores supporting the memory subsystem, allowing a versatile mix of deterministic real-time and Linux functions in a single, multi-core processor cluster. With integrated secure boot, Linux and real-time modes, a large and flexible L2 memory subsystem and a rich set of embedded peripherals, the PIC64GX MPU provides new choices for developing secure and power-efficient embedded compute platforms. The PIC64GX1000 MPUs include integrated 128KB non-volatile memory (eNVM) for boot, platform interrupt controller, and integrated dual physically unclonable function (PUF). The PIC64GX family boasts pin compatibility with Microchip’s PolarFire® SoC FPGA and an easy-to-use ecosystem of tools and supporting software. Ideal applications include industrial, aerospace, automotive, defence, communications and IoT. Also available to order from Mouser is the Microchip Technology PIC64GX1000 Curiosity kit.

  • New Product – Mouser Now Stocking Benewake TFS20-L LiDAR dTOF Ranging Module for Robotic and IoT Applications

Mouser is now offering the new TFS20-L single-point LiDAR module from Benewake. The TFS20-L is a fully integrated, single-channel, direct time-of-flight (dToF) ranging mini-module for service robots, consumer drones, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This LiDAR features a compact, lightweight design that incorporates a highly sensitive infrared-enhanced, single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensor with a range of up to 20 metres for high-precision distance measurement under the most difficult lighting conditions. The TFS20-L LiDAR provides precise measurement data for surfaces with different reflectivity. It offers a sunlight resistance of 15 metres at 100 Klux and a reflectivity correction feature. The TFS20-L utilises a fully integrated SPAD chip solution, a histogram statistical algorithm, and a fast time-to-digital converter (TDC) architecture to ensure stable and efficient operation. Furthermore, this LiDAR module supports I2C and UART interfaces and operates on a single 3.3-volt power supply with built-in temperature compensation. Its compact size, lightweight design, accurate and long-range measurement capabilities, and excellent distance measurement performance under strong ambient light make it an excellent choice for miniature dToF applications.

  • New Product – Mouser Now Offering Texas Instruments’ AWRL1432 mmWave Radar Sensor for Ultra-Accurate Measurements in Automotive Systems

Mouser is now shipping the AWRL1432 mmWave radar sensor from Texas Instruments. The integrated, single-chip mmWave sensor is based on frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar technology and delivers precise measurements with low power consumption. This radar sensor includes an Arm® M4F® core (160MHz) with a single-precision floating-point unit (FPU) for efficient signal control. The sensor also features a TI radar hardware accelerator (HWA 1.2) for processing tasks such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), log magnitude, and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) operations. This sensor operates in the 76GHz to 81GHz frequency band with 5GHz continuous bandwidth and is partitioned into four power domains: RF/analogue subsystem, front-end controller subsystem (FECSS), application subsystem (APPSS), and hardware accelerator (HWA). The AWRL1432 has separate controls for each power domain, allowing each of the states to be turned on or off depending on the use case. The sensor can enter low-power modes such as sleep and deep sleep through clock gating and by turning off the internal IP blocks. Even in low-power states, the sensor retains some of its contents, such as the application image or RF profile, enabling the device to resume operation quickly. The AWRL1432 sensor is designed for self-monitored radar systems in automotive applications including kick-to-open, parking assist, blind spot detection, and door obstacle detection.
