Isolated Self-Powered AC Solid State Relay with MOSFETs Reference Design
Read more
The isolated self-powered AC solid state relay with MOSFETs reference design is a relay replacement that enables efficient power management for a low-power alternative to standard electromechanical relays. The galvanic isolation is implemented capacitively, creating a cost-efficient, reduced footprint solution for multiple relay replacement in thermostats and other similar equipment.

Impending technological innovations of AI in medical diagnostics
Read more
Image recognition AI has the potential to revolutionise medical diagnostics. In addition to enabling early disease detection and even the possibility of prevention, it can enhance the workflow of radiologists by accelerating reading time and automatically prioritising urgent cases. However, as IDTechEx has reported previously in its article 'AI in Medical Diagnostics: Key Strategies for Faster Clinical Uptake', image recognition AI's current value proposition remains below the expectations of most radiologists.

Facing the test: are we ready for autonomous vehicles?
Read more
The KPMG Autonomous Vehicle Readiness Index has provided a welcome stimulus to debate the development of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) technology. However, the index arguably understates the importance of testing. Here, Roger Brereton, Head of Sales at Pailton Engineering, discusses the importance of testing in allowing manufacturers to bring AVs to the market.

Top five green materials for electronics
Read more
When going 'green' with electronic products, the goal is to minimise energy use and have less of an environmental impact than traditional electronics. This could mean less energy used while mining materials and manufacturing the device, or it could mean that lifetimeusage of the products made from these materials requires less energy. Here, Jordan Flagel, guest author at Matmatch, explains which green materials are the most suitable in electronics.

2.7V to 6V, 2A automotive step-down converter in SOT583 package
Read more
The TPS628502-Q1 device is a family of pin-to-pin 1A and 2A high efficiency, easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC/DC converters. They are based on a peak current mode control topology. Low resistive switches allow up to 2A continuous output current at high ambient temperature. In PWM/PFM mode, the automatically enter Power Save Mode at light loads to maintain high efficiency across the whole load range. The provide a 1% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode which helps design a power supply with high output voltage accuracy.
