Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
Pervasive computing — data center, edge, IoT Maxim Integrated’s new USB-C Power Delivery products — the MAX77958 USB-C PD controller and the MAX77962 28W buck-boost charger — are aimed at devices, such as IoT or mobile phones, that need more power or for fast charging. To shave time off development and cost when changing from single-cell to two-series cell architectures, these are USB-C PD compliant out of the box, says Maxim in a press release. Maxim also announced the DS28E18 1-Wire-to-I2C/SPI Bridge to connect remote sensor networks with I2C and SPI-compatible sensors to devices using two wires instead of four. Both both power and communications are on a single wire.
