For drug delivery to be effective, two very important conditions need to be met. First, drug quality needs to be ensured until the time of administration to the patient. Second, the patient needs to adhere to the prescribed therapy. Two easy-to-use solutions will be presented. They comprise a battery, an antenna and a single chip that integrates a sensor, storage and NFC connectivity. Both solutions support wireless communication with a smart phone. 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. A therapy adherence monitoring solution for drug blisters and bottles records medication intake events. In case the intake deviates from prescription, patients can be reminded and motivated to do better.

Its enhanced key management makes it the ideal multi-application platform for unlimited applications.

Learn about wireless trends and solutions for home, enterprise, industrial and infrastructure markets. Includes discussion on the QorIQ LS Series platform for 802.11ac, Kinetis platform for 802.15.4 and BLU for home and enterprise IoT control.

In this session, Linear Technology will provide detailed design guidelines for robust and scalable power solutions for the latest QorIQ processors. Using proven NXP reference design examples for the T1023, LS1043, LS1046 and LS1088 this session will explore the key considerations of each design and show you how to leverage and scale the reference designs for your applications.

While many look for hypervisor based solutions when separating multiple operating systems running on multiple cores in the new embedded devices from NXP, an easier solution is often overlooked. This session will describe ARM TrustZone as a technology currently found in the ARM Cortex A family of the devices, but being introduced by ARM in other variants. A few use cases will be presented - these include secure gateway on a Layerscape LS1021 device, and an automotive instrument cluster on an i.MX6 dual core device.

This session will provide customers the opportunity to meet with a variety of LPC engineers and marketers to discuss critical topics for today's embedded applications, such as security, connectivity, power consumption, and time-to-market. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the latest LPC roadmap, ask technical questions, and provide direct feedback to the LPC leadership team.

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.

The Light Emitting Diode (LED) has revolutionized signaling on control panels and appliances from coffee makers to car dashboards to factory and data center equipment. LEDs give LCD Displays an efficient and more natural backlight, and have upped the ante in dazzling casino and gaming entertainment parlors. Driving and controlling individual LEDs starts with a simple technical question "Constant Voltage or Constant Current?", and is quickly followed by "How many channels do you need?" NXP's LED Controllers are tailored for simple to increasingly complex LED requirements, and take the burden of blinking and fading off your system's microprocessor. Watch Video Presentation

Saving Space in your Reference Design with eSIM. eSIM (eUICC) and what it means for chipset makers and device OEMs. Today consumers want bigger screens, more battery life, more storage, more rich media content etc. The (R) evolution that eSIM will create is unique, disruptive and can be compared to the time when black and white TV went to Color. The OEMs are adopting slowly, but like the days of B&W TV, the networks weren’t ready, and neither are the Mobile operators in the case of eSIM!

The problem of smartphones running out of battery power too soon during the day is well known and in response new fast charging standards have been introduced, ranging from multi-level output ones like USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge to 5V/multi-Amp proprietary Direct Charging protocols. This drives the demand for AC/DC converters with high efficiency over an adjustable 3-20V range, small size, good load step response and very low no-load power. NXP introduces a complete AC/DC fast charging system covering all these requirements, comprising the TEA1936 fly-back controller, the TEA1993/98 synchronous rectifier and the TEA190x family of protocol controllers that communicate with the device to be charged. The TEA190x family supports all mainstream fast charging protocols, is highly configurable and enhances charger safety by an extensive set of hardware integrated protection features.

The mil/aero industry is experiencing an increasing demand for COTS DO-254 safety critical solutions. Trends such as the digitization of cockpits, commercial technology complexity, and the use of common avionics subsystems in military and commercial aircraft have solidified the need for DO-254 compliance in military platforms. DO-254 certification was traditionally achieved using costly custom built systems; however, cost-effective COTS modules are now becoming the hardware of choice to reduce the applicant’s risk, time to market, and budget concerns while meeting stringent certification requirements. We will discuss the benefits and concerns of implementing COTS modules for DO-254 certification.
