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

It is hoped that the audience will gain a high-level understanding of the multi-faceted challenges of securing end to end solutions, and how semiconductor companies will work with ecosystem partners, innovators, and policy makers to address those challenges.  

LEDs are being used increasingly in automotive lighting applications to enable creative design elements, improve system efficiency and support advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). NXP is developing a Matrix LED controller (MLC) IC so customers can address these advanced lighting applications. The MLC IC provides all the necessary functionality to ensure a compact, low-cost and robust design for advanced LED headlights. This new technology enables a three dimensional high-resolution control of the output of a headlight. In this session learn about the key trends and requirements for advanced LED headlighting and understand how the functionality of our MLC addresses these requirements. See the demo for your self!

Participants will use the Sensor Dataloggers from the previous class to gather data representing specific Sensor events and/or signatures. The participants will then use the Sensor Mining and Algorithm Development tool to create some simple algorithms for Accelerometers, Magnetometers, and Gyroscopes. By the end of this hands-on class, the attendees will have gathered Sensor experience using tools to quickly create and test algorithms.

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.

This presentation introduces the IoT Sensing SDK (ISSDK) and the Sensor Toolbox evaluation platforms. The presentation will show how engineers can use ISSDK and Sensor Toolbox to collect and visualize sensor data out of the box.

The session provides an overview of motion, magnetic field, and pressure sensing applications and the software framework and algorithms needed to mine information from sensor data. In the first hour, the presenter will review common and novel use cases for these sensors. the second hour will provide an overview of technical considerations and common mistakes in collecting and using sensor data.

Customers active in hospitality, home readers or any application connecting to a smartphone or tablet are faced with the challenge of guarantying system interoperability with all smartphones on the market today. The answer is given as an NFC and BLE turnkey solution - NXP’s NFC/BLE reference design (OM27462NBR) based on the PN7462 and the QN902x Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy family.

NFC pairing makes life in a multi-device world more convenient. Tap-to-pair has become a common habit when connecting an NFC-enabled smartphone conveniently to a wireless speaker. Bringing this experience to the next level, even a multi-speaker audio system can be set up with NFC. If all speakers are equipped with an NFC chip, you simply tap one speaker to another to establish the Bluetooth® connection. That's what we call a true wireless stereo system - and it works with any phone, no matter if it is NFC-enabled. Same use case can be shown with NFC headsets. The workshop will guide participants through the implementation of an NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing use case. All participants should bring an NFC Enabled Android Device running Android version (Kit Kat) 4.4x or higher. In addition please install "NFC TagWriter" and "NFC TagInfo" from the Google Play Store.

This session offers deep understanding of buck regulator performance and its reliability aspect. Buck regulator is the most widely used topology. Once the system power need is calculated, identifying the right power management chip is critical to a project's success. Session attendees should be able to identify and review critical DC-DC converter specifications and choose the best power solution based on their need. Calculating/selecting the passives and discrete around the buck regulator to create a robust design is discussed. Finally, measurement of key parameters to ensure the thermal, and loop stability is shared.

We'll walk through the available tools and middleware for rapid development of graphics applications across multiple operating systems, and look at advanced profiling and debugging of the rendering subsystems on the i.MX 6 and i.MX 8 applications processors.

This presentation will present a simple EM physics and geometry based approach to designing power distribution networks on PCBs. From input power connection to the IC die, the simple rules discussed can be used to reduce power supply noise and improve EMC.

We will show you how to use and leverage the work done by NXP's board solutions team to increase quality, reduce design iterations, decrease costs, and reduce time to market. NXP has extensive manufacturing expertise and can provide guidelines and advice on symbols and footprints as well as product development challenges. NXP maintains a qualified library of parts to reduce costs and promote common components. Using a proven design process will help to reduce board spins and development time. Schematic standards will improve overall quality and taking advantage of design reuse will reduce cycle time. Watch Video Presentation
