And you can figure that we’ll see even more interesting gadgets and IoT apps at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in January, thanks to platforms such as Kinetis. Texas - based Freescale has developed its newest chip , the Kinetis K22 microcontroller , which is as ' thin as a blade of grass ' , for Internet of Things ( IoT ) applications . Packing in a 120-megahertz processor and a variety of memories and interfaces , yet small enough to serve as the chip brain for secure credit cards , wearables , and other ultra - thin consumer electronics , multiple products using the chip are expected to be released in the coming years . The thinner chip has in - built storage and offers product designers better flexibility and scope for creativity . One potential application is a thermal monitor in a stretchable electronic patch that adheres to clothing or is even implanted under the skin .
