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.

Charging smartphones without the need to plug in a charging wire increases convenience and enables on-the-move charging in public spaces. First generation wireless chargers consist of over 100 components and are too expensive for mass market adoption. The NXQ1TXH5 is a one-chip Qi low power wireless charging transmitter integrating all the digital, analog and power functions for a Qi wireless charger. The high integration enables a very low component count and an easy to design wireless charger. This also reduces the cost of a wireless charger by as much as a factor 3. The NXQ1TXH5 is a real digital plug & play platform without the need for external analog design effort. A 2-layer PCB with signal & power routing at the top layer and a full copper bottom layer for thermal performance is all you need. Connect power supply and decoupling at the input and an LC circuit at the output to transmit the power to the receiver, and your wireless charger is ready to go! Watch Video Presentation

From solving a simple problem - How did a 1980s TV 'talk' to your new Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)? - The Inter-Integrated Bus has solved many of today's low speed communication problems. Known affectionately as the I2C (pronounced eye-squared-see) bus, just two wires can connect a variety of electronic components that help us enjoy many products from Smartphones to Cloud Server farms. In industry the I2C bus is a simple and reliable link for sensors, indicators, human interface, and behind-the-scenes equipment set up and control. We talk about how it works, and what it can do for your next electronics project. Watch Video Presentation

You can eliminate much of the hardware design complexity by using NXP's Single Chip System Modules (SCM). Learn what you still need to know when designing hardware based on SCM.

MIFARE® has a 50% market share in access, but it can do much more than that. Additionally to granting physical and logical access to employees and students MIFARE can be your solution for micropayment and loyalty - all in one. Through NFC functionality your app can even read out data and store new data to a MIFARE card. Holistic user experience - just a tap away. Watch Video Presentation

What is USB Type-C and USB-Power Delivery? Why consumer electronics and mobile computing products is adopting this new Type-C connector? What are the advantages and disadvantages using this connector? What is the future for USB Type-C and PowerDelivery. In this section, NXP (SIP) will give a high level introduction on this new technology and the ecosystem. This section is market and ecosystem driven discussion, not technically intense discussion.

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.

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

By accurately modelling the i.MX 6, so that compiled code can be brought up on a Virtual Platform, great time savings can be made in a typical project design workflow, and a greater understanding of the available design space achieved. This paper looks at a multi-core Linux design, with a hosted application used to track the seabed depth, implemented on an X86 host. The design is simulated in near real-time, and detailed debug data is available both on the i.MX 6 and hosted software native-code application.

Plasma cleaning has been used extensively in the IC packaging industry for cleaning assembly materials to improve its cleanliness for the subsequent process, and enhance the overall package or device reliability. One of the challenges is how to establish the compatibility of the cleaning process as various materials are exposed to the plasma. The control of contamination is very important with the recent use of Cu wires in IC packaging. Bond pad corrosion has been found to be critical in device and package reliability and this is one of the main issues that will be tackled in this paper. Evaluation results that include surface analysis and reliability testing using the different plasma cleaning configurations and its other applications will be presented.
