Mouser has released the next instalment of their award-winning Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) series highlighting the Matter protocol. This instalment brings together global technology experts from the CSA and industry-leading manufacturers to examine all aspects of Matter, from market introduction to design specifications.
With its widespread industry support from leading semiconductor manufacturers, including Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, Schneider Electric, Silicon Labs, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Nordic Semiconductor and Microchip Technology Inc, Matter promises to revolutionise smart home technology. In this instalment, the company provides insights and resources to give engineers and developers the knowledge required to design products that harness the power of this new standard.
The series features two new episodes of The Tech Between Us podcast, hosted by Mouser's director of Technical Content, Raymond Yin. In episodes part one and two, Yin is joined by Chris LaPré, chief technical officer at the CSA. The pair cover the market's introduction to Matter and investigate the types of smart home devices compatible with the new standard. They also dive into the CSA's role with Matter and the future focus areas of interest. A third podcast, In Between the Tech, interviews Sujata Neidig, director of Marketing for Wireless Connectivity at NXP Semiconductors. She'll discuss the types of hardware and software behind the Matter protocol, how it affects manufacturers in product design and development, and what considerations engineers must make when designing with Matter.
"Matter provides an exciting and innovative way to connect manufacturers, engineers, and consumers through a unified protocol," says Raymond Yin, Mouser Electronics' director of Technical Content and host of The Tech Between Us podcast. "I'm thrilled to see and share how companies and individuals are helping create a world of interconnected devices that bring us together by utilising the Matter standard."
Through educational interviews, infographics, articles, webinars and blogs, this instalment explores topics like how to select a suitable SoM for integration, tips for utilising Matter in product development, tutorials on developing applications based on Matter and more.
Episode co-sponsors include manufacturers Nordic Semiconductor, Schneider Electric, Texas Instruments, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, Silicon Labs, Infineon Technologies, and Microchip Technology Inc.
Following the Matter standard, the EIT series will examine digital therapeutics, environmental sensors, Wi-Fi 7, and industrial machine vision. It will reveal the technical developments required to keep pace with the evolving world and highlight various new products in the marketplace.
