This week's EYE ON NPI is a 1040 that is easier than filing out a 1040-EZ (https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-fillable-forms/free-file-fillable-forms-choose-the-right-1040-form), but will still get you a great return on your time investment: it's the NXP i.MX RT1040 Crossover MCU series (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/n/nxp-semi/i-mx-rt1040-crossover-mcu) an ultra powerful microcontroller that is designed to make it easy to add high speed processing without a lot of work or excessive BOM costs. The RT1040's ease of usability and implementation stands out when we look at the details, allowing you - yes you! - to have 500 MHz+ Cortex M7 processing on a low cost two layer board, and without a separate PMIC. We're featuring this chip as the big sister to the Metro M7 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4950) that we're also releasing this week, so it's definitely an iMX party here at the 'fruit. The suggested way to program the iMX NXP series is to use NXP's IDE MCUxpresso (https://www.nxp.com/design/software/development-software/mcuxpresso-software-and-tools-:MCUXPRESSO) but you can also just use the NXP SDK with the arm-gcc toolchain in a command line or other IDE (https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/GNU%20Toolchain) If your application plans to use USB, we recommend checking out our TinyUSB implementation which has iMX RT10xx support (https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb) which compiles under arm-gcc as well, and includes many examples that you can build off of. We've also ported our TinyUF2 second-stage USB bootloader that has mass-storage for read-write of the flash memory (https://github.com/adafruit/tinyuf2). These chips are powerful and very integrated, so you don't need separate power management chips - also known as PMIC's - or SRAM but there are some tips and tricks to watch for about pin usage, the built in bootloader, and configuring the DC/DC converter. This handy video from NXP has some good quickstart tips (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpb_mZknqrk) and each chip also has a suite of app notes for hardware implementation (https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-microcontrollers/i-mx-rt-crossover-mcus/i-mx-rt1040-crossover-mcu-with-arm-cortex-m7-core:i.MX-RT1040). There's many chips in the iMX RT family, as you move up and down you'll be trading package size, SRAM, and peripherals, for complexity and price. (https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-microcontrollers/i-mx-rt-crossover-mcus:IMX-RT-SERIES) The RT1040 sits nicely in the middle with 512KB of SRAM (the bigger chips are up to 1 or 2 MB), parallel TFT support, CAN bus, Ethernet, and two flexIO peripherals that can mimic various interfaces. But it doesn't have MIPI support, or a built-in camera interface, or a second USB port. Digi-Key does stock all of the rest if you so wish! (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/result?s=N4IgjCBcoLQCxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAG4B2aWehA9lANogBMADAJxMDsIAuoQA4AuUECAC%2BYoA) The NXP evaluation boards are fully featured and are recommended by NXP to get started (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nxp-usa-inc/MIMXRT1040-EVK/17141404) We tend to develop off the eval boards first, then using the schematics as a guideline for our own designs. While the BGA packaging is intimidating, it's available in two sizes: 9x9 and 11x11 with the same pinout - the smaller one has 0.65mm ball pitch, and the larger one has 0.8mm pitch, which means you can fan-out on a 2-layer PCB (https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN10778.pdf) or get roomy with a 4-layer. Other than a 3.3V power supply, a crystal and some passives, you only need a QSPI flash memory chip - we use the W25Q64 (https://www.digikey.com/short/0jpf8wmf) on our Metro M7 with great success. Best of all, both versions of the NXP iMX RT1040 chips are in stock right now for immediate shipment from Digi-Key! We suggest starting with the larger MIMXRT1042XJM5B (https://www.digikey.com/short/jv9qjdtv) and the RT1040 EVK (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nxp-usa-inc/MIMXRT1040-EVK/17141404) Huzzah, the chip shortage is over - so order today and you'll be blazing along with a Cortex M7 at 500 or 600 MHz by tomorrow afternoon.

It's snowing in NYC, there is a piano playing, ladyada designed a new board, all is chill ... ❄️ 🎹 👶🏼

One of our new Feather designs will sport a full-size HDMI connector that can be used to connect to DVI displays. While the RP2040 itself does not have a native DVI driver, you can sorta-bitbang your way to success using the PicoDVI library (https://github.com/adafruit/PicoDVI). Like USB, there are standardized connectors, so it's easy to find a good range of suppliers that will give us full-sized HDMI connectors. Like USB Type C, you can also use the connector in a pick and place line and with some good paste deposition, skip the wave or selective solder step for the through-hole mounting tabs.

This week's EYE ON NPI is sixty-giga-cool with 60 giga-Hertz of Doppler radar sensing. It's the Infineon XENSIV™ BGT60LTR11AIP Radar and Shield2Go Dev board (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/infineon/xensiv-bgt60ltr11aip-radar-shield2go), featuring Infineon's super-low-power 60 GHz Doppler radar sensor with antenna-in-package (AIP). This device is an ultra-tiny 60 GHz radar-on-a-chip sensor that even includes the normally-large antenna's seen in most Doppler radars baked right into the top! RADAR is literally "Radio Detecting And Ranging" - a way of bouncing 'high frequency' electromagnetic waves off of objects to detect the reflection. We're familiar with radar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar) in a few contexts: originally developed for military use, it worked great for detecting metal things in the sky (airplanes) as they would approach a city to possibly bomb it. We still use it a lot in military contexts: detecting planes, bombs, boats and submarines. It's also super handy in domestic contexts like air traffic control, if you can detect planes you can verify their positions and make sure each one comes in or out of the airport without collision. Radar is also useful for weather pattern detection (although this sensor isn't good for that purpose, just a fun fact for you to know). Another common purpose for radar you're probably familiar with is the dreaded speeding radar gun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_speed_gun) a small-enough-to-be-handheld radar device that can be pointed at a car to determine its speed without requiring a difficult-to-calculate "time between two points" measurement. These reliable devices are apparently now are replaced with LIDAR based ones! Most folks who have used IR sensors, Time of Flight, or sonar sensors can understand how to detect an object by counting the delay between sending a signal vs when it's received and dividing by the wavelength. How can you determine velocity - normally you'd need to detect location twice, then determine the time between the two locations whereas radar can do it one measurement. This is thanks to the 'Doppler Effect' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect) the same scientific principle that causes ambulance sirens to be higher pitch as they approach and lower pitch as they drive away from you due to the 'bunching up' of the waves as the wave source moves. Likewise with Radar, the frequency will shift slightly depending on the speed of the object, which can be detected by calculating the minute variation in frequency. What's particularly neat about this sensor is that, compared to other radar modules that have a trace PCB antenna, the antenna is embedded right into the chip itself. Compare that with the BGT24 modules that come on a PCB with an 'Arduino shield size' antenna (https://www.digikey.com/short/dn48cfhr) The BGT60LTR11AIP comes as a BGA component, with a lot of pins! Thankfully, Ultra Librarian has a package footprint for this part that Digi-Key helpfully provides, so you can import and get started with integration quickly (https://app.ultralibrarian.com/details/2071C153-54B1-11EC-9033-0A34D6323D74/Infineon/BGT60LTR11AIPE6327XUMA2?ref=digikey) There's also a few different development boards available, including a tiny module 'shield' SHIELDBGT60LTR11AIPTOBO1 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/infineon-technologies/SHIELDBGT60LTR11AIPTOBO1/16343839) that requires only 4 pins: power, ground, output direction and output motion detect (https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/evaluation-boards/demo-bgt60ltr11aip/) There's also a fancy "SHIELD2GO" board (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/infineon/xensiv-bgt60ltr11aip-radar-shield2go) that has all of the user-useful GPIO and SPI interface accessible, and a full demo dev kit that also includes the mini shield. (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/infineon-technologies/DEMOBGT60LTR11AIPTOBO1/13563722) There are two ways to integrate the sensor: via simple two-GPIO connection where one pin is motion detect and the other is direction, or via a more complex SPI protocol. The SPI interface is documented in the User's Guide (https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-AN625_userguide_BGT60LTR11AIP-ApplicationNotes-v01_05-EN.pdf) and the Infineon bgt60 github repo (https://github.com/Infineon/sensor-xensiv-bgt60trxx) has some portable C code that just needs a hardware abstraction layer implemented in order to be used with your favorite platform. For an ultra-tiny Radar module-on-a-chip that has low-power, low-cost and ease-of-integration, you can pick up the Infineon XENSIV™ BGT60LTR11AIP (https://www.digikey.com/short/jv0b0n0z) at Digi-Key. It's in stock right now for immediate shipment, and available in any quantity on cut-tape or reel: order today and you can be Dopplering by tomorrow afternoon.

This week's Great Search is for a replacement for our Venerable PAM8301 class D amplifier (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/diodes-incorporated/PAM8301AAF/4033366), a part we've used in a ton of boards to act as a mini amplifier for SMT magnetic buzzers (https://www.digikey.com/short/1w0t87ww) for making beeps and simple sound effects. It's low cost enough, it is only a little more expensive than a Class AB, but without needing large blocking caps. Sadly, it's now NRND, so let's find another similar chip that we can use to keep our designs alive and kicking!

This week's EYE ON NPI won't have you singin' the blues about Bluetooth stack development. It's InPlay IN100 NanoBeacon™ Bluetooth® Low Energy Beacon SoC (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/inplay/in100-nanobeacon-soc), an ultra-low cost way to make sensor beacons for data collection, with no coding required! These flash-less chips are packed with peripherals that can be configured with a desktop tool and then burned into OTP EEPROM memory. That makes them both reliable and very inexpensive, so they're great for distributed sensors that may end up getting damaged or lost. They're also great for when you want to get something into production super fast and don't want to spend time learning Bluetooth SDKs or wireless stacks. Bluetooth LE is a low-power 2.4GHz protocol that has some nice 'connection-less' capabilities. Unlike WiFi and cellular, BLE has the ability to act like a 'beacon' (https://learn.adafruit.com/introduction-to-bluetooth-low-energy) where data is blipped out for anyone to listen to. (https://learn.adafruit.com/alltheiot-transports/bluetooth-btle) Note that in beacon mode, there's no wireless reception happening - and because there's no need to listen for packets, the beacon can go into very, very low power usage because it just has to wake up, send the beacon out, and go back to deep sleep. Receiving requires a lot more power because you have to be listening at all times. Beacons are what are used in "lost and found" tags, for asset or people tracking, as well as distributing URLs.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_Low_Energy_beacon) Normally, folks would use a common BLE chipset such as nRF, Dialog, or TI - often these come with a ARM Cortex chip inside that can run a BLE stack. The stack can either be the in-house brand such as the nRF SDK (https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-software/nrf5-sdk) or a third-party like Zephyr (https://docs.zephyrproject.org/3.1.0/connectivity/bluetooth/api/index.html) but either way you have to write some code and burn it into the chip. You also have to learn how to manage the low power modes and debug your code. For many basic beacon projects, such as measuring a digital, analog, or I2C sensor - the IN100 is pretty amazing: all the low power and SDK stuff is done - you just have to configure each board and burn in the settings. The good news is that you can deploy your beacons or sensor nodes super fast, and because the core is designed to only do this one thing, the chips are really really cheap. Like 40 cents per piece cheap! (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rf-transceiver-ics/879?s=N4IgTCBcDaIJYDsCMAGFIC6BfIA) Your entire BOM for a beacon product could easily be under $1 including the coin battery. They're available in 10-DFN IN100-D1 (https://www.digikey.com/short/3jmnp8r3) and 18-QFN IN100-Q1 (https://www.digikey.com/short/mtp92d50) depending on how many GPIO you need. Since the trade-off for the ultra-simple design and low BOM cost is OTP memory, we recommend getting the IN100 evaluation kit (https://www.digikey.com/short/0q0jwwqq) which comes with a programming dongle and three beacon boards fitted with the QFN version of the IN100. Then download the cross-platform configuration tool (https://inplay-tech.com/nanobeacon-config-tool) and follow the YouTube video tutorials they've filmed to learn how to configure the beacons for different advertising modes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJfQ059KzRg) Don't worry about making mistakes: you can always run from RAM to iterate the design before finally burning it into the OTP! And even if there are errors, the InPlay IN100 NanoBeacon Eval Kits are inexpensive (https://www.digikey.com/short/5z920hrj). Once you're ready to go into production, the individual chips are plentiful and low cost (https://www.digikey.com/short/97773wh3) so you can get into production almost immediately. The InPlay IN100 NanoBeacon Eval Kits (https://www.digikey.com/short/5z920hrj), IN100-D1 (https://www.digikey.com/short/3jmnp8r3) and IN100-Q1 (https://www.digikey.com/short/mtp92d50) are all in stock right now for immediate shipment from Digi-Key - available nowhere else! If you're curious to try this no-code BLE beacon chipset, order today and you can be Bluetooth Beacon'ing by tomorrow afternoon!

For our Metro M7, we're finally getting ready to launch, we're going to go with the MIMXRT1011D but there's lots of other iMX RT series chips available and *in stock* at Digi-Key right now! It's a perfect time to get into this chip series. There's a lot of chips in this family (https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-microcontrollers/i-mx-rt-crossover-mcus:IMX-RT-SERIES) so despite my picking the 'RT1011D already, we can review the other chips available and what they can be good for when developing an application.
