Product：LMH13000 integrated high-speed lidar laser driver

Recommended reasons： The LMH13000 is the industry's first integrated laser driver to deliver ultra-fast rise time of 800ps and adjustable output current from 50mA to 5A with only 2% variation across temperature, enabling lidar modules in automobiles, as well as autonomous robots to measure objects more accurately up to 30% longer distances than today's lidar systems. The LMH13000 laser driver does not require an external FET or large capacitor. Additionally, TI's proprietary HotRod(tm) package eliminates the internal bond wires that help achieve a low inductance in the high-current path, enabling the design to acheive faster current rise and fall times. With integrated LVDS, CMOS and TTL control signals and 3.3V support, designers can reduce solution size by 4 times compared to discrete solutions. Using multiple LMH13000 devices in parallel can increase the amount of current going to the laser up to 5A.

AP Infosense

Product：API MEDCAL

Recommended reasons： The API MEDCAL is a professional-grade temperature-sensing device designed exclusively for use in clinical and hospital settings. It offers high-precision thermal monitoring of the human palm and fingers, with an accuracy of ±0.2 °C. This level of precision allows healthcare professionals to detect subtle variations in thermal patterns, which are central to diagnostic approaches rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles of QI (氣) and Blood (血). The device is equipped with proprietary high-sensitivity sensors that ensure accurate and consistent temperature readings. These sensors are specifically designed to capture fine-grained thermal variations across the palm and fingers, providing healthcare practitioners with detailed and reliable data. The data is visualized in real-time through the device's thermal imaging capabilities, enabling the identification of potential abnormalities in temperature distribution. Its ergonomic design ensures optimal contact and usability in a clinical environment. The API MEDCAL integrates seamlessly with apiVision, a proprietary software platform powered by advanced Machine Learning algorithms. apiVision processes the thermal data collected by the sensors, correlating it with TCM diagnostic frameworks to generate insights into a patient's health condition. The software delivers detailed analyses and personalized health assessments, tailored for professional use by trained practitioners. Over time, the system enhances its diagnostic capabilities through continuous learning from an expanding database of clinical cases. By combining proprietary sensor technology, cutting-edge software, and TCM diagnostic principles, the API MEDCAL and apiVision provide a robust solution for healthcare professionals, enabling precise, data-driven assessments to support patient diagnosis and treatment in clinical settings.

STMicroelectronics

Product：LSM6DSV32X High-Performance AI 6-Axis Inertial Sensor

Recommended reasons： LSM6DSV320X, a groundbreaking inertial measurement unit (IMU), is set to transform the landscape of smartphones, wearables, and IoT technologies. Typical accelerometers on consumer products never go as high as ±320 g. Manufacturers wanting to track a crash or other intense movements must, therefore, find alternatives. The new LSM6DSV320X sensor is the industry's first to integrate a gyroscope alongside two accelerometers—one capable of sensing up to ±16 g, and one capable of reaching a staggering ±320 g. Thus, the LSM6DSV320X can measure extremely high impacts without necessitating an external sensor. Additionally, as a member of our smart IMU family, it also includes a machine learning core, a finite state machine, adaptive self-configuration, and a Sensor Fusion Low Power (SFLP) IP, enabling on-device computations.
