2-in-1 Industrial PC power supply with additional 24VDC / 7A output
The ruggedized BICKER BEA-750H allows simultaneous power supply of high-performance computer systems and 24VDC peripherals with just one power supply. The PSU offers, in addition to the regular ATX outputs for mainboards, a powerful 24VDC output for reliable supply of displays, receipt printers, card readers, coin counters, actuators, sensors, etc. Operating from -10°C to +70°C it is ideally suited for 24/7 continuous operation in industr...
The growing concern of Security in IoT Devices: Preventing, Detecting and Recovering from Cyber-Attacks
Security in IoT devices is a growing concern. Reports show that in the first half of 2021, there were 1.5 billion attacks on IoT devices. The main reason for these attacks and subsequent data breaches is the lack of security. Currently, only around 4% of deployed IoT products having adequate security in place. Winbond looks at how the security of connected devices needs to be based on software and hardware resilience to not only prevent cyber-a...
Understanding the Basics of Analog Design
Analog design is a skill that is relevant to many engineers, but not necessarily well understood by all. This article aims to provide an understanding of analog basics, the importance of analog engineers’ skills to the electronic industry, analog design tools and resources.
Celebrating 20 years of Nexperia LFPAK!
Two decades ago, Nexperia transformed the semiconductor industry with a unique clip-bond package for power MOSFETs. This disruptive innovation was called LFPAK, offering the lowest power losses of any package on the market. It was revolutionary, offering radical performance improvements that gave early adopters extraordinary improvements in performance, efficiency and size. Backed by 20 years’ continuous innovation, the story continues.
Up to 100h long-term backup solution for 24VDC with LiFePO4
The uninterruptible power solution with BICKER UPSI-2406 and BP-LFP-13250S battery pack (330Wh) protects 24V applications in case of a blackout, brownout or flicker. The particularly safe and long-life LiFePO4 battery technology enables backup times up to 100h, e.g. for sensor applications or emergency lighting systems. The new UPS management software 'UPScom' with cross-platform technology and intuitive user interface offers extensive functions ...
Why chemically compatible components are a must for liquid cooling
Power densities in electronic subsystems continue to increase, driving demand for more extreme cooling power – cooling power such as that available with liquid cooling. Now more than ever to optimize thermal management efficiency, sustainability and reliability, designers of systems that use liquid cooling are exploring innovative combinations of component materials, including advanced thermoplastics, specialized elastomers, metal alloys an...
5 ways high-performance MCUs are reshaping the industry
Advances in automated factories and smart vehicles require advanced networking capabilities, real-time processing, analytics at the edge and more advanced motor-control topologies. These examples illustrate the rapidly growing need for a high-performance microcontroller (MCU) that can outpace traditional MCUs and deliver processor-like capabilities. In this article, I’ll cover five ways that high-performance Sitara AM2x MCUs are helpin...
Making cars safer through technology innovation
Futurists have long dreamed of vehicles driving themselves. Remote control experiments date back nearly a century, and the 1939 New York World’s Fair included automated highways in its “World of Tomorrow.” But the reality of fully autonomous vehicles remained out of reach until recently, when new technologies suddenly turned the fantasies of the past into present-day realities.
