On Semiconductor will demonstrate technologies related to Internet of Things (IoT) implementation at the IoT World 2017 exhibition being held in California. This is the result of On Semiconductor's ongoing efforts to support solutions in connectivity, system development, and diverse sensing fields, which are becoming increasingly important as the Internet of Things market evolves.

Exhibition visitors will be able to directly demonstrate the new RGB-IR CMOS image sensor products (AR0237, AR0238). By mounting a mechanical IR-blocking filter on the imaging assembly, this product reduces costs and can capture both daytime color and nighttime near-infrared (nIR) image data from the same sensor without refocusing or additional maintenance.

Adopting a color filter array (CFA) arrangement where a 4x4 kernel replaces some red and blue pixels with nIR-sensitive pixels and rearranges the spatial density of the remaining pixels, these devices with wide dynamic range can handle challenging lighting conditions. Supporting 2.1 megapixel resolution and 60 frames per second (fps) video operation, these products are well-suited for home security and automated surveillance devices where ambient light levels vary significantly over time.



During the exhibition, On Semiconductor will showcase the RSL10 multiprotocol Bluetooth 5 certified wireless system-on-chip (SoC) that was recently announced in relation to connectivity. The RSL10, which features industry-leading low power consumption in advanced receive and deep sleep modes, is optimized for application in IoT edge node products and connectivity-related health and wellness applications.

This wireless SoC offers high flexibility while consuming ultra-low power, supports voltages from 1.1 V to 3.6 V, and supports 1.2V and 1.5V batteries without external DC-DC converters.

Built on a sophisticated dual-core architecture, the RSL10 provides an ARM Cortex-M3 processor programmable up to 48 MHz clock speed and the capability to support 2.4 GHz proprietary and customized protocol stacks. The embedded digital signal processor (DSP) supports signal-intensive applications such as wireless audio codecs.

During the event, On Semiconductor will also display a battery-free wireless sensor that the company has won awards for. This sensor leverages UHF RFID technology to provide a compact, cost-effective moisture/proximity sensing or temperature/proximity sensing mechanism, enabling deployment wherever operational status monitoring is needed.

Wiren Perera, an On Semiconductor executive overseeing the IoT sector, stated, "Tens of billions of connected nodes will soon be in operation, and the potential of IoT is limitless. As various industries transform, we are committed to providing solutions for power, sensing, and connectivity, which could become challenging issues."
