As consumers embrace the ease-of-use and convenience of contactless payment, global retailers continue to invest in electronic mPOS solutions, with the market projected to grow to more than 80 M installed units by 2018 (IHS Research). mPOS equipment manufacturers need technology designed to address this growth, while meeting security and battery life requirements of the latest mobile payment technologies. The Tower POS development tool (TWR-POS-K81) showcases the capabilities of the Kinetis K81 microcontroller along with the expandable tower system, including the latest NFC controller PN5180 as well as a contact reader interface (TDA8035). A demo application is showing the EMVL1 functionality for NFC and contact transactions. Development tools will be available for all participants of this sessions. Watch Video Presentation

DDR3, DDR3L, DDR4 have large, wide busses that require management on the PCB routing to optimize their speed of operation. Data busses will have characteristics related to on-die termination and driver strengths for both reads and writes (bidirectional). Address-Command-Control busses will be use the fly-by or serial routing and work unidirectionally. Both require careful selection of driver and receiver characteristics, as well as optimization of the PCB routing and design of the traces on the PCB. This talk will review the driver, receiver, and common PCB characteristics and show how simulation with IBIS models are used to weigh the trade-offs for the DDR bus design. Watch Video Presentation

Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) are standards based hardware roots of trust with protected key storage. This session covers how QorIQ Trust Architecture primitives can be used as Soft TPM, thereby reducing BOM cost by eliminating a discrete TPM chip.

About a decade ago, NXP introduced its first generation Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) radio, to help connecting hearing impaired persons with the digital world. Today, besides medical applications, NFMI is also being used in consumer devices to reduce power consumption and not be affected by body tissue absorption. NXP NFMI allows for hearable and wearable devices that can fit inside an ear canal or be worn on the body. Power levels are low enough to run for a week on a single ZnAir battery. Applications include truly wireless earbuds, implantable electronics, body area networks, under water communication devices, and many other low power.

Brillo is a lightweight OS based on Android for connected devices with a small footprint that is open, extensible and secure. Brillo extends the Android platform to all your connected devices so they are easy to set up and work seamlessly with each other and your smartphone. It comes with 'Weave' Googles communication API, which easily allows Brillo devices to communicate and exchange with each other or store data in the cloud. In this class we will introduce you to Brillo and how NXP has worked with Google to bring Brillo to the i.MX 6UltraLite processor and other platforms. Watch Video Presentation

To use the processor in an integrated design is one way. To use an embedded module is another way and will speed up the design, reduce the design risk and lower the design cost. What support will be offered by the different module suppliers? What limitations and restrictions are there, if you use an embedded module? A market overview and guideline to select your embedded module supplier.

The two big topics in automotive electronics development in the last five years has been functional safety and security. Sometimes these terms are used synonymously, sometimes completely separately. This thought provoking presentation will explore where the two topics overlap, where they result in contradictory requirements, and indeed whether they are complementary. Watch Video Presentation

This presentation shows case studies of e.g. devices support space savings, low power / low voltage applications and the usage of configurable logics. Associated demo boards will be shown. We would pick some typical examples and show how savings could be squeezed out of them. Watch Video Presentation

Countless devices are joining the Internet of Things (IoT) daily. It is a key requirement that the device architecture of the device itself is secure; above and beyond the mandatory connection privacy. Embedded devices also require a device security approach that can follow future security trends, changes, and threats throughout their entire product lifecycle. This session looks at reported cases of device vulnerability in the industry, available technology, and best practices for designing secure connected products. Based and built on the Digi ConnectCore for i.MX6UL connected SOM platform, and without the traditional burden of effort related to design and implementation.

As the 5G standard is being defined, high throughput, low latency and a high number of users are among the key requirements to drive 5G services. See how NXP is blending these ingredients to design an optimal hardware architecture to address the challenges of 5G.

NXP supplies cutting edge hardware and software tools for ADAS development. The software algorithm developer will encounter a heterogeneous tool environment that may prove to be challenging. In this session, we will walk through NXP's enablement offerings for ADAS algorithm development and explain how to use these tools to implement a sensor input data path for Blue Box. This session will review the heterogeneous tool landscape, including AUTOSAR drivers, Inter-Core Communication and PCIe on S32V, as well as LS2 Root Complex Driver and LS2 Linux data management of critical safety data. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of how to leverage NXP's tools in ADAS development.

Learn how to easily drive powerful three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors which require large field effect transistors (FET). This training will cover how to quickly use a three-phase pre-driver IC in order to control a BLDC motor with protection and diagnosis as well as relevant current and voltage measurements for secure, safe, and accurate control. This course will be based on KDS, Processor Expert MCU agnostic analog software component, and complete Freedom development platform including MCU FRDM-KV10Z, 3-phase FET pre-driver expansion board FRDM-GD3000EVB and a power stage accessory board FRDM-PWRSTG1EVB. All participants will receive a free hardware development kit for BLDC motor control applications support.

As more and more individuals acquire automobiles and city populations increase, road way congestion worsens year-by-year. Traffic Congestion results in billions of dollars in lost productivity: individuals are confined to hours upon hours of menial vehicle operation in stop-go conditions. Solution: Advances in NXP's ADAS Radar, Vision, and V2X technologies can alleviate congestion and regain lost productivity - 1) reducing personal stress, 2) improving commuter productivity, and 3) reducing traffic accidents. The session will show how controlling driver response variance, (e.g. making acceleration, deceleration, and minimum safe driving distance constant), relieves congestion jamming conditions. The session concludes with a mapping of ADAS DSRC features to NXP devices. Watch Video Presentation
