AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, Texas Instruments has claimed that the UCC275xx-Q1 family of single- and dual-channel gate drivers features the industry’s fastest propagation delays of less than 15ns. The ultra-low propagation delays in the gate drivers help automotive systems efficiently switch power electronics at high frequencies to maintain a small footprint and reduce overall vehicle weight.

Designed to meet the extreme conditions of the world’s railways, the ACS-2563 is APLEX Technology's first railway BOX PC with EN50155 compliance. The ACS-2563 is equipped with M12 connectors, ensuring tight connections and safety.

Providing inductance values in the range of 0.47-22µH, Vishay has introduced the IHLP-2525CZ-8A low-profile, high-current inductor. The AEC-Q200 qualified device serves as a high-performing, space- and power-saving solution for voltage regulator modules (VRM) and DC/DC converters in high-temperature automotive applications.

Yamaichi Electronics has introduced the FPS009-2903-0, an SD card reader with features making it ideal for the automotive sector.  The FPS009-2903-0 is a top-mount version with a push/push mechanism. That means that the card is manually inserted, engages with a soft-lock mechanism, and is then be pressed again to eject it a predefined distance for convenient removal.

A miniature OEM 900MHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) wireless modem, the Pico series P900 has been announced by Microhard Systems. Providing the ultimate OEM solution for cost and size sensitive applications, the P900 features an extremely small footprint for tight integration and design flexibility.

A Chrome DIN rail power supply series, from Delta Electronics, has been extended with the addition of a 30W product offering 24V output voltage. The Class II double isolation power supply is designed for use in compact cabinets.

Two medium power switch series, featuring either momentary or locking actuation configurations, has been added to C&K Component's PCB-mounted switch product line. The PVA Series short-stroke key switches are designed for through-hole PCB soldering, and are available in either DPST (double pole, single throw) or DPDT (double pole, double throw) configurations.

70% smaller than current solutions and delivering a 30% reduction in Time To First Fix (TTFF), CSR and OriginGPS announce a series of high-performance GNSS modules using CSR’s SiRFstarIV and SiRFstarV product lines. Integrating antennas, the modules are suited for health and fitness trackers, sports watches, medical devices, wearable action cameras and digital still cameras.

The launch of what is being named as the industry's first six stream 802.11ac MIMO platform for home networks has been announced by Broadcom. The 5G WiFi XStream is up to 50% faster than MU-MIMO routers and gateways, Broadcom claims.

Suited for current detection in applications with increased power requirements, such as automotive systems and industrial equipment, ROHM has announced the development of high power ultra-low-ohmic shunt resistors. The PSR series includes the PSR400, which is rated at 4W, and the PSR500, which is rated up to 5W.
