  Stackpole’s ultra precision current sensing chip resistors, the CSS Series, offers precision tolerances as tight as 0.5% and TCR as low as 15ppm. Recently, Stackpole extended the value range for the 0603 size adding a 4mΩ value and the 0805 size adding a 3mΩ value.

  ROHM has recently announced the availability of a new lineup of high power wide terminal thick-film chip resistors (10-910mΩ) suitable for current detection in a variety of applications, including inverters, AC, and energy-efficient appliances.

At this week’s 2018 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec, the research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technology, reported significant progress in process enabling the introduction of gate-all-around (GAA) transistors with vertically stacked nanowires and nanosheets for the N3 technology node.

At the IEEE IEDM 2018 conference, imec, the research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presented a demonstration of 3D stacked FinFETs on 300mm wafers using a sequential integration approach with a 45nm fin pitch and 110nm poly pitch technology. 

A range of 225 EDLC-R ENYCAP ruggedised capacitors manufactured by Vishay/BC Components are available at RS Components. Designed for energy storage in industrial, renewable energy and automotive environments, MAL2225 polarised electrostatic double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) combine high capacity and energy density with fast charge and discharge rates.

  Knowles Precision Devices' brand, Voltronics, offers a range of non-magnetic trimmer to offer the medical industry a consistent source of supply, in the face of other companies ceasing or limiting supply   

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the F339X2 305VAC series of Automotive Grade X2 electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression film capacitors for standard across the line applications (50 Hz / 60 Hz). The capacitors are qualified to both AEC-Q200 (rev. D) and IEC 60384-14: 2013 / AMD1: 2016 grade IIB.

AVX has introduced new 0805-case BP Series multilayer, Integrated Thin Film (ITF) band-pass filters. Designed for broad compatibility with a wide range of high frequency wireless applications, including mobile communications systems, satellite TV receivers, GPSs, vehicle-locating systems, and wireless LANs, the series is available in five frequency bands spanning 1,308-4,320MHz with 50Ω characteristic impedance, and is rated for 5W continuo...

  For many high power RF applications, the ‘Q factor’ of embedded capacitors is one of the most important characteristics in the design of circuits. This includes products such as cellular/telecomm equipment, MRI coils, plasma generators, lasers and other medical, military and industrial electronics.

Skeleton Technologies provides rapid-response power using ultracapacitors. According to the company, a world first in the 100% renewable energy Scottish independent microgrid. SkelGrid, a fast response ultracapacitor energy storage, and uninterruptible power system, assists the Kinetic Traction flywheel as part of a demand response system to prevent Eigg’s microgrid from being totally dependent on the lead-acid backup battery solution in ca...
