Introducing the Roki Sensor Node
ROHM and Kionix have introduced the RoKi Sensor Node, a component in the RoKi IoT Platform. The sensor node utilises Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52840 Bluetooth5/Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) advanced multiprotocol SoC, offering better throughput and longer range compared to the Bluetooth 4.2. It also has better coexistence with other wireless devices, and an increased broadcast capacity improving beacon functionality.
Automotive sensor designed for position detection in hybrid cars
A dual-die magnetic rotary position sensor with an I2C interface that enables the development of new space-saving designs in safety-critical automotive applications has been introduced by ams.
World’s first high-field MR-linac receives CE mark
Elekta has announced that its Elekta Unity magnetic resonance radiation therapy (MR/RT) system has received CE mark, clearing the technology for commercial sales and clinical use in Europe.“Receiving CE mark for Unity is a big achievement in revolutionising the field of radiation therapy and a real watershed moment for treating cancer,” said Richard Hausmann, President and CEO, Elekta.
Fast and accurate isolated current measurement with mini transducers
A fast measurement speed, achieved within tight cost and size constraints while integrating the primary conductor in SO packages without compromising the necessary insulation, is often as critical as the other high performances for current measurement in motor-drive applications. Therefore LEM has introduced the GO miniature transducers, which have been designed to achieve a 2µs response time from 2 standard, cost-effective SO8 or SO16 pack...
Allegro hits its billionth gear tooth sensor IC sale
Allegro MicroSystems is celebrating a milestone for its popular line of Gear Tooth Sensor (GTS) ICs, which surpassed one billion total units shipped.These revolutionary ICs were first released to market more than 15 years ago, and are staples in engine management, transmission and braking applications in advanced automobiles.
Smart power outlet can identify plugged-in appliances
Have you ever plugged in a vacuum cleaner, only to have it turn off without warning before the job is done? Or perhaps your desk lamp works fine, until you turn on the air conditioner that’s plugged into the same power strip.These interruptions are likely 'nuisance trips,' in which a detector installed behind the wall trips an outlet’s electrical circuit when it senses something that could be an arc-fault — a potentially dangero...
Manufacturability of spin-orbit torque MRAM devices demonstrated at Symposia
At the 2018 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits, Imec demonstrated the possibility to fabricate spin-orbit torque MRAM (SOT-MRAM) devices on 300mm wafers using CMOS compatible processes.
Laser-sonic scanner aims to replace mammograms
For women over 40, mammography is a necessary yet annoying procedure to endure every year or two. The technique, while valuable for reducing breast cancer deaths, is less than ideal because it exposes patients to X-ray radiation and requires their breasts to be painfully squished between plates. The plates flatten the breast so the X-rays can more easily pass through it and produce a clear image.
Considerations when comparing SiC and GaN in power applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technologies are promising great things for the future. SiC devices in a cascode configuration enable existing systems to be easily upgraded to get the benefits of wide band-gap devices right now. By: Anup Bhalla, VP Engineering, UnitedSic.
Linkable lighting with limitless design possibilities
A high-performing, continuous lighting solution for commercial and residential interiors has been introduced with the LED LiteBards by MaxLite.
