A temperature monitoring solution permits logging of transport conditions of each individual drug package at any point in time. Patients and healthcare professionals can confirm the drug quality at the moment of administration. An easy-to-use solution will be presented that helps meet these critical requirements. It comprises a battery, an antenna and a single chip NHS3100 that integrates a sensor, clock, storage and NFC connectivity. Easy-to-use and intuitive, this solution supports wireless communication with a smart phone. It can be used for temperature monitoring of any perishable goods (like flowers, wine, food, resins, ...) as well.  

NFC is part of the ongoing transition to connected devices. A variety of unique applications can benefit from this seamless proximity communication technology. This class is an introduction on integrating NFC and understanding the design challenges of a wireless application. To demonstrate how NFC is unique in the way it uses energy, this class will showcase an energy harvesting “Smart label” example using solar and NFC as power.

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a standard, modern environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications. UEFI is already extensively used across the server, mobile and embedded market and supports multiple architectures (x86, ARM®) and has support for booting multiple OS (like Windows®, Linux, Mac). This session describes the UEFI bootloader on QorIQ LS series processors (LS1043A board) and how we can migrate from U-Boot bootloader to the UEFI bootloader on the LS processors. This session also showcases how it can be used to boot an CentOS Distribution using GRUB2 bootloader. For loading the CentOS kernel and RFS images we demonstrate PXE boot (Boot over Network) method. So essentially this session showcases a standard chained bootloading architecture which is extensively used to support embedded distributions like CentOS, Ubuntu, ONIE etc. Watch Video Presentation

This sessions explores the information often hidden in sensor data. By using advanced statistical processing and machine learning algorithms, engineers can mine sensor data for contextual information, failure prognostics, and/or create smarter appliances.

Any payment solution, whether it’s an mobile Point-of-Sales (mPOS), laptop, tablet, wearable, or embedded module, needs to be secure, scalable, and easily certified for interoperability. This session explains general considerations for contactless POS terminal designs adressing the most common challenges like the NFC antenna size and position as well as EMVCo L1 analog and digital compliancy. In addition, it will be explained how the latest NFC controller PN5180 is supporting PCI requirements. This session will provide an overview of NXP's products suitable for payment applications as well as selection criteria dependent on the physical terminal design and development targets. Participants will be able to reduce the design risk and speed up their tiem to market by avoiding typical roadblocks during the development of NFC-enabled payment terminals.

There is an increasing number of high/ultra high speed drives required by the industry. The theory offers the rules how to drive fast motors, however not all them are easily applicable in the real word. The significant issue is that the rules requires a pretty powerful device to be enough fast to control fast motors. The presentation offers the comparison of the theory with the experiences out of the customer project targeting the high speed motors controlled by a less powerful devices, where the less powerful controller is a pretty challenge within the overall task.

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.
