ON Semiconductor accelerates software ecosystem building with Bosch IoT Suite

ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, announced that the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera Platform and RSL10 Sensor Development Kit are now pre-integrated in the Bosch IoT Suite, the core software platform and core software ecosystem for the Internet of Things (IoT) from the Bosch Group.

The RSL10 Smart Shot Camera platform and RSL10 Sensor Development Kit are complete node-to-cloud solutions with advanced Bluetooth low energy connectivity and sensing technology. The recently released RSL10 Smart Shot Camera platform is designed for event-triggered imaging, combining low-power image capture capabilities with support for cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) analytics. Using the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera platform, developers can create imaging applications that automatically take photos when triggered by events caused by time or environmental changes (such as motion, humidity or temperature). Meanwhile, the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit is a very compact and versatile platform with more than a dozen onboard environmental sensors.

Incorporating RSL10-based solutions into the Bosch IoT Suite gives developers access to a range of tools and resources, including key middleware components that can be selected on a global public cloud. The software allows large-scale deployment and management of IoT applications in the field, including device configuration and provisioning and remote maintenance. The Bosch IoT Suite also includes innovative "Digital Twin" modeling capabilities. This feature allows designers to create virtual representations of their devices using cloud-based models to understand what functions and services they will provide in the real world.

“The Bosch IoT Suite truly addresses some of the most significant challenges facing IoT OEMs, including data and device management,” said Wiren Perera, IoT Director at ON Semiconductor. “By adding this support to our IoT platform, we are helping developers quickly build and implement cloud-based, highly scalable IoT applications.”

ON Semiconductor Virtually Participates in Embedded World 2021 DIGITAL 

In addition, ON Semiconductor is seizing the opportunity to help make embedded world 2021 DIGITAL a success. ON Semiconductor offers a unique exhibition experience with 21 product demonstrations, focusing on several of its latest products and demonstrating a complete sensor-to-cloud solution.

The 21 demonstrations were arranged in 6 dedicated online reception areas, covering high voltage power supplies, intelligent image sensing, Internet of Things (IoT) electronics market place, IoT sensor systems, IoT vertical solutions, and intelligent power and control. The demonstrations covered many applications, including smart access control, hospital asset tracking, and measuring power consumption of edge devices.

ON Semiconductor also showcased more details on its new family of sensor platforms integrated with the Bosch IoT Suite. This software platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) solution has been used to connect more than 15 million sensors, devices and machines to user and enterprise systems. Through ON Semiconductor's solutions and the end-to-end, sensor-to-cloud platform of the Bosch ecosystem, ON Semiconductor demonstrated the accessibility of IoT.

Other highlights from ON Semiconductor’s embedded world 2021 DIGITAL demo room include learning more about the new NCP51810 gallium nitride (GaN) gate driver, which brings the advantages of wide-bandgap enhancement-mode GaN to create smaller, more energy-efficient power supplies for embedded systems. The NCP51810 can sustain 150 V, making it ideal for applications in 48 V systems such as point-of-load, industrial power modules, and intermediate bus converters used in data centers. This GaN gate driver features unique electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise suppression and advanced diagnostic monitoring capabilities, making it the best in its class. It supports a wide range of power topologies, including resonant, half-bridge, full-bridge, active clamp converters, and non-isolated buck converters.

The exhibition also highlighted the NCL31000 smart LED driver, demonstrating the application of visible light communication (VLC). VLC is an optical communication method that uses visible light as a carrier while avoiding interference to the human eye. This technology has been used to achieve high-precision indoor positioning, achieving accuracy in centimeters rather than meters. The NCL31000 smart LED driver can truly dim to dark, drive the entire system, and accurately measure all system voltages and currents.

In addition to offering an online demo room, ON Semiconductor is hosting three live webinars: Power over Ethernet and connected lighting, event-triggered imaging using the RSL10 Smart Shot Camera, and implementing Quuppa’s Angle of Arrival Real-Time Positioning System on an RSL10-based sensor node.
