Pulse Electronics Corporation has introduced the HOT ROD product family of I-Bar chokes for automotive networks, a new concept to provide EMC/EMI protection for automotive electronics. The new line of I-Bar HOT ROD chokes are optimized to meet Broadcom Corporation's BroadR-Reach Automotive Ethernet technology for mode conversion up to 400 MHz. The first part in the series, the AE2000, meets the need for the current generation of 100 Mbps BroadR-R...

Würth Elektronik expands its attractive Wireless Power Coil program with three transmitter coils and one receiver coil. The new round transmitter coils 760 308 100 110 (A10) and 760 308 100 111 (A11) comply with the Qi standard of the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The ferrite pot core shape has the major advantages of tightly bundling the magnetic field, increasing the possible coil distance and reducing outward radiation. The round shape...

Texas Instruments has started mass production of what the company claims to be the world’s most advanced automotive-grade wireless connectivity devices, the WiLink 8Q family. The family integrates WiFi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy and GPS/GNSS technologies into an AEC-Q100 qualified wireless connectivity chip for automotive infotainment systems.

Powered by the Freescale i.MX6 processor, the FS700 Qseven module has been unveiled by DFI. The module provides excellent multimedia performance due to the combination of the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with bleeding edge 3D and 2D graphics, as well as high-definition video.

Designed specifically for the transportation market, the TRACe family of operational computers has been launched by Kontron. The two platforms introduced, the TRACe B304-TR and TRACe V304-TR, deliver proven, rugged and feature-rich building blocks that allow design flexibility. 

Designed to protect downstream DC/DC converters in vehicle, mobile or avionic applications of up to 230W power rating, Stadium Power has introduced a range of military power system protection filters. The COBRA family consists of a range of low profile, PCB mounted, baseplate cooled, fully compliant surge and transient protection modules with integral EMC filter.

Suited to industrial applications requiring long range and high-reliability, Radiometrix has launched the SFX2 radio Transceiver module. The device operates on the 500mW 458.5-459.5MHz license-free Industrial/ Commercial Telemetry band in the UK and Ireland, but many other frequency options are available to order.

CML Microcircuits announced that it has added 16-FSK modulation to the CMX7164 multi-mode wireless data modem portfolio. The addition of 16-FSK constant envelope modulation further enhances the flexibility of this modem IC, enabling telemetry systems to evolve into higher data throughput without the need to move to a linear modulation scenario.

Texas Instruments has introduced what the company claims to be the industry’s most power-efficient 5W wireless power receivers that support the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi 1.1 standard. The bq51020 and bq51021 allow consumers to charge their Qi-compliant mobile phones, tablets, power banks and other electronics faster, cooler and more efficiently compared to other available wireless power solutions.

A multi-standard smartphone PMU has been introduced by Broadcom, driving Rezence technology into the mainstream while providing compatibility with existing deployed standards. The BCM59350 wireless charging PMU enables automatic selection between specifications from all three leading standards organizations including the A4WP, PMA and WPC for OEM flexibility.
