How distribution can support the Medtech industry
Especially in times of corona, medtech is of particular importance - a difficult market in itself, not least because of strict safety regulations, but one that nevertheless offers a wide range of development opportunities for medtch companies, said Andreas Falke, Managing Director, FBDi, Germany’s component distribution association.
2020 second-highest year for semiconductor merger and acquisitions
Two huge purchase agreements in July and September have guaranteed that 2020 will become at least the second-largest year in history for semiconductor merger and acquisition announcements, according to data released in the September Update to IC Insights’ 2020 McClean Report.
Devices deliver thermal management solution for lasers
Mouser Electronics is now stocking UltraTEC UTX thermoelectric coolers (TECs) from Laird Thermal Systems and the LTM4663 ultra-thin μModule TEC regulator from Analog Devices (ADI).
Flexible electronics in wearable cardiac monitoring technologies
In today's digital age, focus on digital health and the quantified self have led to the rapid rise of heart rate monitoring technologies through wearables such as fitness trackers and smartwatches. Such devices have already proven their ability in detecting hidden heart conditions such as tachycardia and atrial fibrillation in seemingly healthy people.
15V linear voltage regulator provides five fixed voltages
The LM1117 is a low dropout voltage regulator with a dropout of 1.2V at 800mA of load current.The LM1117 is available in an adjustable version, which can set the output voltage from 1.25-13.8V with only two external resistors. In addition, it is available in five fixed voltages, 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 and 5V.The product offers current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its circuit includes a Zener trimmed bandgap reference to assure output voltage accuracy to...
Plugged-in: huge demand for electric vehicle charging
Plug-in Electric Vehicles (EVs) are approaching an inflection point as battery costs fall, driving range improves and consumer awareness and acceptance increases. But larger batteries and longer range alone is not going to address range anxiety for consumers: broader access to charging infrastructure is one of the key factors to convincing consumers a pleasant driving experience awaits.
TT Electronics acquistion extends US mil/aero presence
TT Electronics is acquiring Torotel, a US-based designer and manufacturer of high-reliability power and electromagnetic assemblies and components for the aerospace and defence markets.
Flex Power Designer provides design support for Xilinx FPGAs
Flex Power Modules has updated its Flex Power Designer software to include a highly anticipated reference design tool for Xilinx-based field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The new 4.0 release also provides further system optimisation and loop compensator features to improve overall power-stage design analysis, helping power designers to accelerate time to market.
LAN8770 Ethernet PHY for ultra-low sleep current
Microchip Technology has announced the LAN8770, an OPEN Alliance TC10 sleep standard Ethernet physical layer transceiver (PHY) with a low sleep current of less than 15µA. A ubiquitous Ethernet architecture simplifies the design, configuration, and control of many different applications.
Regaining control of intellectual property
The past few weeks have seen the judiciary hand down a number of interesting legal rulings that will have an impact on the use of Intellectual Property (IP) in the global electronics industry. Much of underlying current in the ongoing trade war between the US and China is related to IP, as are the concerns surrounding the potential acquisition of ARM by Nvidia.
