ON Semiconductor continues to progress in IoT through its new IDK

ON Semiconductor has evolved with a new IoT Development Kit (IDK) which features expanded portfolio of software applications for IoT objects based on ARM Cortex-M3 technology with vast connectivity, sensor and actuator options. The multi-faceted product comes with a unique modular construction and encompasses both hardware and software elements. It presents a configurable platform which enables engineers to evaluate, develop and release to market IoT systems in the shortest possible duration. The IDK finds its scope in applications such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, home/building automation, industrial control and wearable electronics. The IDK’s baseboard features NCS36510 system-on-chip (SoC), with a low power-optimized 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 core, running the ARM mbed OS. By attaching different daughter boards to the Wi-Fi enabled IDK baseboard, a wealth of connectivity protocols enabled by the company’s low power radios (SIGFOX, Thread, EnOcean, Wireless Mbus, Bluetooth Low Energy, ZigBee, PoE, CAN, etc.), sensors (temperature, moisture, ambient light, proximity and pressure, along with heart rate monitoring and bio sensor interfaces) and actuators (with stepper and brushless motor driving, plus the ability to drive LED strings) can be added to the system. The portfolio also includes support for functions important for implementing security, including encrypti...
