PRODUCT SHOWCASE
ElectroneX to return in September
After a one year break, Australia’s
only dedicated trade event for the electronics industry will be held in Sydney in September.
ElectroneX – The Electronics Design
and Assembly Expo will be staged
during 15-16 September at Rosehill
Gardens Event Centre.
In addition to featuring a wide
range of electronic components, test
and measurement products and other
ancillary products and services, companies can also discuss their specific
requirements with contract manufacturers that can design and produce
turnkey solutions for particular applications.
This is a must-see event for decision makers, managers, engineers and
industry enthusiasts or those designing or manufacturing products that
utilise electronics.
The SMCBA Electronics Design &
Manufacture Conference, held concurrently with the Expo, will feature
a series of sessions on the latest hot
topics and workshops over the two
days. The full program can be viewed
at www.smcba.asn.au
Registration for the Expo is now
open and all visitors are asked to
pre-register to avoid queuing at the
entrance. Visitors can register for free
online at www.electronex.com.au

Open Source USB Power Delivery software from Microchip
USB Type-C with Power Delivery
(PD) and open source software are two
technologies leading the next wave of
wired connectivity.
Microchip’s new Power Delivery
Software Framework (PSF) allows
you to modify and own the IP in your
USB-PD systems. By merging your
code with Microchip’s fully functional PD stack, you have the flexibility to create different product offerings
while choosing from a wide variety
of Microchip SmartHubs, micros
and standalone PD solutions for
USB systems.
Microchip’s PSF provides
an open-source code base for
power delivery and a comprehensive programming environment, removing the need
for manufacturer dependence
and making it easy for users to program micros and immediately modify PD code as their system evolves.
Using this, customers can reduce time
to market and overall bill of materials.
Developers can also choose from an
expanded family of Microchip controller options to host PD functionality, including the new UPD301B and
Microchip Technology Inc.
www.microchip.com
UPD301C standalone PD controllers.
The PD architecture’s open approach
enables customers to easily add a
USB-C/PD port to a wide range of
embedded applications, while also
allowing customers to reallocate
unused pins or CPU memory to other
system functions
A range of Microchip SAM and PIC
MCUs and dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) are supported.
The PSF solution gives designers the
option to run PD on existing Microchip microcontroller infrastructure by
adding the UPD350 PD transceiver, or
by integrating PD into more complex
product offerings with proprietary
system code.
The PSF is supported by Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE development
environment. The PSF evaluation
board can be purchased from: www.

Silicon Labs’ EFM32PG22 microcontrollers now available at Mouser
Mouser Electronics is now stocking
the new EFM32PG22 (PG22) microcontrollers from Silicon Labs.
The new Series 2 Gecko microcontrollers are ideal for energy-efficient
and space-constrained applications
in consumer electronics, personal
hygiene devices, Internet of Things
(IoT), and industrial automation
devices.

Silicon Chip
The microcontroller incorporates
a low-power ARM Cortex-M33 core
running at up to 76.8MHz, plus up
to 512KB of flash and 32KB of RAM.
The devices consume just 26μA/MHz
in Active Mode at 38.4MHz and as little as 0.95μA in DeepSleep mode with
8KB of RAM retention.
The PG22 development kit includes
four different environmental sensors
Australia’s electronics magazine
and stereo PDM microphones, providing an ideal platform for the development of energy-friendly electronic
devices. To learn more, visit www.
