Foreword

2026 is of a good start, the whole eco system is showing more trust in the future then a year ago, we are more busy on all levels.

The next coming big event is one of the most important shows of the year, we want to share some exciting new technologies and let you know the TOP-team is building a powerful booth experience for embedded world 2026 in Nuremberg. Expect hands-on, interactive demos that showcase what is possible today and what’s coming next. We hope to meet you there!

In this edition of our newsletter, we highlight technologies that support engineers shaping the future of electronics. From ultra-low power edge AI SoC to advanced 5G connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 support, these solutions are built to integrate into complex, demanding development cycles.

You will also find a compact 5W open-frame converter, and a high-performance motion controller capable of managing up to 32 axes at 1 ms cycle time, and get inspired by what’s coming next.

As our mission is to be a mentor to our customers with the best technology. We support technically during the design, and logistically when production is scaling and being in full production.

Also this year we want to continue turning complex challenges into working solutions, together.

5G connectivity with support for Wi-Fi 7

Quectel’s new 5G modules: RG660QA and RG660QB are built on Qualcomm’s X85 and X82 platforms. 

With support for Wi-Fi 7 across multiple bands, integrated Bluetooth, and Ethernet up to 10Gbps, the RG660Qx modules deliver performance that matches the expectations of modern product design. Power Class 1 support enhances coverage for fixed wireless access, while co-processor compatibility enables up to 24 TOPS for demanding AI-on-the-edge use cases.

These high-performance modules are designed to meet today’s demand for versatile, high-capacity wireless applications, from smart home networks and mobile hotspots to camera and video systems.

Pre-production samples will be available in Q2 2026. If your project roadmap includes 5G connectivity, the TOP-team is ready to support your design-in phase.

5W open-frame converters

The SAW05S series are compact size and open frame AC/DC power converters, designed for energy meters, and high reliability industrial applications. 

They feature ultra-wide input voltage range 90~528VAC, low stand by power consumption, high efficiency, and class II reinforced insulation.
Available with output voltages 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15 and 24VDC.

The SAW05S series are designed to meet IEC/EN/UL62368-1, EN60335-1, EN61558-1, UKCA and EMC performance meets CISPR32, EN55032 Class B with external components. This makes them ideally suitable for industrial and critical commercial applications.

Let's explore together

From semiconductors to advanced solutions for embedded systems, our newsletter keeps you updated with the latest innovations, product releases, and application insights from our global network of leading manufacturers.

Motion controller up to 32 axes, 1 ms cycle time

This compact and powerful SANMOTION SMC300 motion controller delivers strong performance in a small design. The SMC300 can control up to 32 axes with a 1 ms cycle time. This ensures high accuracy and fast operation.

It offers four times the control performance of the previous model, thereby reducing the need for extra controllers and modules. This helps save space and increases equipment efficiency.

The SMC300 provides high scalability and broad connectivity.
Digital outputs are doubled to 16 points. It supports EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, and Modbus TCP. Expansion is easy with scalable I/O modules. 

The controller blocks unauthorized software access. It records video and synchronized motion data for fast troubleshooting. This makes it ideal for advanced production and semiconductor systems.
