As Embedded World 2023 opened in Germany, Nuvoton unveiled its latest product lineup for carbon neutrality and showcased solutions contributing to sustainability and artificial intelligence at the edge.

Microcontroller supplier Nuvoton Technology is participating in Embedded World 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany, to showcase its latest products and solutions.

Nuvoton has brought a variety of creative solutions for a carbon-neutral life to this year's Embedded World, held for three days starting on the 14th. They showcased the new MA35D1 processor for object detection in edge computing, as well as automotive and industrial battery monitoring ICs that improve battery durability, safety, performance, and sustainability.

The Nuvoton MA35D1 MPU provides object detection and recognition in edge computing using the deep learning MobileNet-SSD model. TensorFlow Lite can be run on Linux and real-time inference results can be displayed on the screen, and image sensors such as USB cameras and parallel RGB CMOS are supported.

In addition, it features an inference speed of 20 FPS at 60×60 image resolution, and MobileNet-SSD and other popular models are available in the NuEdgeWise Embedded Edge AI Creator IDE tool. It also provides an integrated machine learning development workflow ranging from model training on a PC to deployment on NuEdge devices.

At the Nuvoton booth, visitors can view demonstrations of the MA35D1 MPU and HMI platform. The MA35D1 is a heterogeneous multi-core MPU, and the demonstrations include H.264 video playback, machine learning-based people counting, 2D display acceleration, data security, an Arm Cortex M4 real-time processor for real-time audio processing, and VoIP.

Automotive and industrial battery monitoring ICs play a critical role in extending battery life and maintaining durability. Nuvoton KA84933UA series and KA49517A/522A battery monitoring ICs (BM-ICs) detect a wide range of battery cell abnormalities and BMS (Battery Management System) failures through diagnostic and safety functions.

Nuvoton explained that high-precision voltage measurement helps extend battery life and durability, and that through battery degradation diagnosis, it promotes sustainability by increasing the ease of maintenance and material reuse by utilizing the battery pack's BM-IC.

Nuvoton is also showcasing Time of Flight (ToF) sensors at its exhibition booth. Nuvoton's ToF sensing solution simultaneously provides NIR-2D and 3D depth images with excellent sunlight resistance and motion blur mitigation, making it suitable for applications ranging from facial authentication to gesture recognition and obstacle detection. Nuvotone offers a diverse lineup of ToF sensors, allowing you to select the appropriate resolution and range for each application.

In addition, it is showcasing a variety of solutions, including UC speakerphone turnkey solutions and intelligent power/electronic control MCUs, and is unveiling a lineup with the latest performance.
