On September 27, the 2021 ELEXCON Shenzhen International Electronics Show and Embedded System Exhibition kicked off at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center. In the context of the country's new infrastructure, the digital wave is more turbulent. Facing new opportunities and challenges, Murata takes the theme of "opening a new era of '5G+' empowerment" with its many star products and many scene-based solutions. Reloaded to launch this year's Electronics Fair, attracting many media and professional audiences to stop and discuss business cooperation matters in depth.
Murata's booth used scene-based display to divide the booth into 5G+ communications, 5G+ automotive, 5G+ industrial and ESG/SDGs, vividly displaying various 5G application innovative designs.
Low-power IoT modules drive new changes in IoT applications
With the scale development effect of the "home economy", people are increasingly eager for the rapid development of applications such as the intelligent Internet of Things and AIOT. Demand drives innovation. In the process of building increasingly high-standard integrated IoT products, the demand for low-power IoT has also expanded further. In order to meet the market's low-power IoT demand for wireless modules and low power consumption, Murata brought its low-power BLE and Wi-Fi IoT modules certified by Tencent Lianlian to provide a complete solution for Wi-Fi networking and rapid application development of devices. Among them, TypeABR is a highly integrated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi module, using NXP MW320 core, supporting uAP or STA mode, and featuring low power consumption and small size. The same 2.4GHz low-power BLE IoT module MBN52832 uses the Nordic nRF52832 chip to allow battery-powered products to have a longer operating time and is suitable for various IoT applications. Both of these products allow customers to provide CtoB open platform services based on the WeChat ecosystem and global market support, allowing more users to experience the beauty of smart life.
Provide technical empowerment for car safety, intelligent and efficient driving
The technological revolution has also promoted the digital transformation of automobiles. Today's automobiles can no longer be simply defined as a means of transportation. The intelligentization and connectivity of automobiles have brought more convenience to people. Among them, autonomous driving is one of the most eye-catching trends. one. But at the same time, the potential safety hazards brought by related technologies cannot be ignored. In this exhibition, Murata brought a variety of products based on the goal of "providing technological empowerment for automobile safety, intelligent and efficient driving".
One of them is the SCHA634 series of 6-axis inertial sensors, as a standard 6-axis inertial sensor for high-end car navigation and positioning. The deflection and balance of the three-axis gyroscope sensor allows the car to calculate the position of the vehicle by speculation even when there is no satellite signal. It is understood that this series of products are widely used in vehicle position detection, navigation and vehicle status detection, stability control and other applications to help vehicles achieve safe and reliable advanced assisted driving or automatic driving.
The other is the silicon capacitor used for "LiDAR". "LiDAR" is an indispensable distance detector for auto-driving cars. In order to improve the measurement accuracy and distance, while ensuring the safety of human eyes, it is necessary to realize the pulse emission of "LiDAR" with narrow pulse width and high peak power, and higher performance capacitors are needed in the transmitting circuit. Murata's silicon capacitors and silicon integrated devices have smaller size and lower ESL characteristics. It can increase the effective capacitance area and achieve miniaturization through the 3D+3-axis structure. At the same time, in the application of LiDAR, the silicon capacitor shortens the distance between the LD and the capacitor through wire bonding, thereby reducing the ESL in the loop, so as to achieve the technical requirements and safety requirements of LiDAR. Murata also provides a variety of low ESL solutions for silicon capacitors for LiDAR, such as standard silicon capacitor solutions, customized solutions for multi-channel silicon discharge, and customized solutions for silicon substrate integration-embedded wiring and capacitors inside the Si substrate, and integrate LD, Place components such as SW to shorten the loop distance to reduce ESL. It can also support more other exclusive customized solutions to realize better design of LiDAR transmitter for customers.
Pay attention to market needs, iterative upgrade of indoor positioning system & wearable technology
Under the normalization of the epidemic, the indoor positioning system has received unprecedented attention from the society and various enterprises. It can quickly and accurately help hospitals, factories, warehouses, retail, and even smart homes, lock the location of related objects, so it has been extended to a wide range of applications since this time. The Type-2AB module in the Murata booth this time is an important component of the indoor positioning system. It uses the Qorvo DW3120 chip. Compared with the on-board chip design, the use of this chip will make the module smaller and lower power consumption, but still maintain the high integration and computing power of the system. Therefore, this module is also often used in fields such as non-inductive payment, indoor high-precision positioning, high-precision ranging, item tracking, and credential sharing.
On the other hand, since the epidemic era, people's demand for health monitoring has also received unprecedented incentives. This has prompted the continuous iteration and upgrade of wearable device terminals and technologies. The sensors and communication modules displayed by Murata in the exhibition can effectively help wearable devices to improve the interactive function and connection speed, and make wearable devices more diversified. In response to the increasing demand for medical rehabilitation, Murata puts its vision on the development trend of wearable devices. At the exhibition, it also demonstrated the development opportunities of wearable devices applied in the field of rehabilitation, such as: chronic disease prevention and monitoring, long-term Care for humans, management of small medical equipment, enhancement of human functions, human-computer interaction, etc., and strive to contribute to the future health of mankind.
Diversified product categories join in the grand event to cater to the diverse needs of the market
In addition to the products listed above, Murata also brought a number of star products, such as the current ultra-small and ultra-highly integrated Type-2BP module exhibited at the same time, using the NXP Trimension SR150 chip, supporting UWB channel 5 and Channel 9, low current consumption, very suitable for IoT devices and applications with integrated UWB functions. Murata also provides customers with quick-start EVB development boards and antenna design guidelines to meet the needs of different customers. Another example is the 32.768kHz resonator using MEMS technology. Compared with traditional crystal resonators, it has a smaller size and low ESR performance, and is often used in wireless headsets, smart cards, and wireless modules. In addition, there are a variety of highly competitive products and solutions such as the TMR tunnel magnetoresistive sensor series, which attracted the attention of professional guests and the media.
As a global manufacturer of integrated electronic components, Murata faces the ever-expanding social needs, continuously exerts its comprehensive capabilities, uses its own advantages to provide a wide range of product lineups, helps customers continue to grow, and realizes the richness of humanity in the true sense. Live hard. At the same time, Murata deeply believes that sustainable development is the main content of corporate social responsibility. In order to protect the earth and improve human life and the future, Murata has set "strengthening climate change response measures" as an important topic and actively promotes the adoption of renewable energy. , To work together for mankind and the planet to build an inclusive and sustainable future.
