Automotive LED controller provides fast response time and low EMI
A synchronous buck, high-brightness LED controller has been released by Maxim Integrated Products. The company claim that theMAX20078is the only product available which provides both fast response time and low electromagnetic interference (EMI) for exterior LED lighting and improved safety applications. Suitable for matrix lighting designs, the LED controller allows designers to achieve high performance, ease of design, and fast time-to-market.
Add-on board acts as Raspberry Pi speaker
pi-topPULSE. Is a HAT compatible, pi-top add-on board that functions as a high-end Raspberry Pi Speaker. It features a vivid LED matrix and includes an inbuilt microphone that integrates to give users an interactive Raspberry Pi assistant. The pi-topPULSE is an integrated solution for music, lights and sound that can be used by makers, students and educators alike.
Ensuring efficiency in rotary encoders when generating signals
A new BlueBeam technology has been developed for incremental rotary encoders with optical sensing principle increases efficiency when generating signals.Specially developed blue emitter LEDs, combined with modern and more finely structured sensing chips, allow a more energetic penetration depth of the blue light in the chip. The result is a higher resolution, significantly improved signal amplitude, and a considerably improved signal quality.
Project to develop mass market UV LEDs for disinfection
Eco-friendly purification of water – UV light is already being used to kill water-borne germs but the light sources used for this purpose are still predominantly mercury vapor lamps. UV LEDs have so far proved unattractive for reasons of cost. The aim of the UNIQUE project funded by the Bavarian Ministry for Economic Affairs, Media, Energy and Technology is therefore to develop high-power UV LEDs for industrial use.
