This technical session provides an overview of the i.MX 6UltraLite MMDC (DDR Controller), the DDR tools used for DDR testing and board bring-up, and hardware considerations for DDR board designs. Attendees should be familiar with the MMDC from previous i.MX 6 series processors, specifically the i.MX 6SoloX. The session covers the differences in the MMDC between the i.MX 6UltraLite and its predecessor, the i.MX 6SoloX applications processor. The first half covers the tool offerings used to assist the user with bringing-up and testing a new DDR interface: i.MX 6UltraLite DRAM Register Programming Aid tool and the DDR Stress Test. The second half of the session covers hardware considerations board designers should follow for DDR board designs.

This hands-on workshop provides a detailed architecture description of Thread technology and wireless mesh networking. The main Thread concepts will be reviewed and analyzed thoroughly. The attendee will have a deep understanding of the main concepts and how these are mapped to the NXP software API. The session will close with hands-on training to enable the attendee to understand software usage and configuration, low-power features and security concepts.

Since the early 1920’s, the source of microwave power generation has traditionally been vacuum tubes and magnetrons. Some high power RF applications today still rely on vacuum tube technology, even though there has been a multitude of advances in solid state RF power generation. This class will cover the technological advantages of solid state including dynamic range control, spectral purity, manufacturing economies of scale and product longevity.

Today’s designers are facing ever increasing challenges to protect their intellectual property and products from counterfeiting or unauthorized access. To help customers better understand the solutions offered by NXP, Future’s System Design Center has designed a Secure Access Demo board to showcase the capabilities of the LPC43S57, a microcontroller with integrated security, and the A700X, a tamper resistant secure MCU solution. This class will present an overview of the architecture of a secured system and provide an introduction to the secured elements from NXP. Watch Video Presentation

Many people involved in the electronics industry need a basic knowledge of semiconductor components in order to understand issues like manufacturing cycle time, semiconductor fab consolidation and failure analysis results. This session is geared towards a non-technical audience and gives a high-level overview of semiconductor devices and how they are made. The lecture begins with a brief overview of how semiconductor devices work. The bulk of the presentation describes the generic manufacturing flow for semiconductor devices with an emphasis on the complexity of the equipment/facilities used and the process time required.

Companies and consumers alike are excited about the opportunities offered by the IoT and the Smart Home. Concerns on user-friendliness and security are however holding potential customers back: how can I install it? , what if my neighbor hacks into my network? NFC technology addresses these cost, ease of use and security concerns by offering short distance out-of-band pairing capabilities that reduce the complex commissioning system to a simple 'tap'. And with NXP's connected NFC tag technology, IoT nodes of all sizes do not even need to be powered. Watch Video Presentation

Learn how Qt for Device Creation may be used to create advanced user interfaces in a few simple steps. Qt is a cross-platform C++ framework that offers tools to create modern and fluid user experiences. The Qt framework may utilize the OpenGL ES capable i.MX6 or perform simplified rendering for the new i.MX7. We will take a look at Qt and use Qt for Device Creation to develop a GUI application optimized for projects requiring low power and real-time tasks which are suitable for wide-range of industrial applications, while keeping advanced security features to be used in IoT applications—all with confidence and convenience. Attendees will discover how easily it is to enable a low power device with performant GUI effects. This evolution requires virtually no changes to the software or hardware -- made possible by the Qt Framework and standardized pin-compatible computer modules from Toradex.

A modern car is more than just transport, it provides comfortable heating and cooling, navigation systems, entertainment systems, and a lot of data about the car's health and performance. Including how well you are conserving fuel or when to seek service. All of this is a challenge to present to the driver and passengers, without distraction to driving, under all conditions from bright daylight to the dark of night, in any temperature. We talk about both Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) component solutions that keep your dashboard simple, readable, and helpful. Watch Video Presentation

High speed internet always and everywhere is the challenge we are facing. Small cells provide the solution to fill the coverage gaps of the regular basestation infrastructure. This lecture shows the NXP high performance RF solutions to cover both the transmit and receive side of the small cells.

The Kinetis KE1x family is the next generation MCU solution in the Kinetis E series. Designed with more memory, enhanced features and new IPs, this family extends the NXP 5 V portfolio to cover higher performance applications and use cases. Together with the Kinetis KE0x family for entry level MCUs, the Kinetis E family becomes an ideal solution for markets needing 5 V, robustness, and more flash size, providing platform solutions for low-end to high-end applications. Join this session to learn how the strong EMC performance across the Kinetis E family makes it suitable for main control and HMI (touch) in home appliances, industrial, and other applications needed in harsh electrical noise environments.
