Polymer with silver nanowires dissolves in water below 32ºC
Building transient electronics is usually about doing something to make them stop working: blast them with light, soak them with acid, dunk them in water.Professor Leon Bellan's idea is to dissolve them with neglect: Stop applying heat, and they come apart.Using silver nanowires embedded in a polymer that dissolves in water below 32ºC—between body and room temperature—Bellan and mechanical engineering graduate student Xin Zhang m...
USB Type C Integrated Power Splitter designed for smartphones
A very robust single-input, dual-output power splitter designed for mid- and high-end smartphones and tablet PCs, the SLG59H1302C has been designed by Silego Technology.Any integrated circuit (IC) product designed for consumer electronics and operating in the vicinity of edge connectors must be tolerant of electrical surges and abuses caused by an incorrect application of power adapters. In these applications, system-level, over-voltage protectio...
Digital and signoff tools enabled for 7LP process node
Cadence Design Systems has announced that its custom/analogue and full-flow digital and signoff tools are now enabled for v0.5 of the GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) 7nm Leading-Performance (7LP) FinFET semiconductor technology. The 7LP process node is expected to deliver 40% better performance and twice the area scaling than the previous 14nm FinFET technology.
Behaviour of human brain influences computing system
A team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Notre Dame has created a computing system that aims to tackle one of computing’s hardest problems in a fraction of the time.“We wanted to find a way to solve a problem without using the normal binary representations that have been the backbone of computing for decades,” said Arijit Raychowdhury, an associate professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Ele...
Hardware kit enables faster solid state RF system development
MACOM Technology Solutions hasunveiled a development kit targeted to help commercial OEMs quickly and easily adapt their product designs to incorporate GaN-based RF energy sources for a wide range of applications spanningcooking, lighting, industrial heating/drying, medical/pharmaceutical, automotive ignition systems and beyond.
Bringing quantum computing closer to reality
For 60 years computers have become smaller, faster and cheaper. But engineers are approaching the limits of how small they can make silicon transistors and how quickly they can push electricity through devices to create digital ones and zeros.That limitation is why Stanford electrical engineering Professor Jelena Vuckovic is looking to quantum computing, which is based on light rather than electricity.
DC/DC converters function as decentralised power supplies in vehicles
MTM Power's PCMDS80 series of DC/DC convertersare specially designed as decentralised power supplies in vehicles and for supplying closed sub-systems in rolling stock applications. They are available with three wide input ranges thus enables the use of the converters on batteries with 24 to 100VACC. EN 50 155. The converters are also suitable for use in industrial and telecommunication applications.
MIT printing technique enables flexible circuit stamping
To create electronic devices like those in today’s mobile phones requires complex chemical and physical processes, not unlike those used to capture and develop images with film-based cameras.
Digital flexes muscle to adapt for next gen
A panel discussion, Developing the Next Generation of Power Supplies at PCIM Europe looks at what is needed next and how this can be achieved.
Silicon carbide on the road to automotive electrification
The automotive industry has long been focussing on the higher efficiency of the combustion engine and electrification of the drivetrain in hybrid and fully electric vehicles to meet CO2emission goals. Now we finally see a tipping point with a greater availability ofSiC (Silicon Carbide) chips that offer extremely low power losses and higher temperature resistance.
