Carbon nanotube transistors outperform silicon
For decades, scientists have tried to harness the unique properties of carbon nanotubes to create high-performance electronics that are faster or consume less power — resulting in longer battery life, faster wireless communication and faster processing speeds for devices like smartphones and laptops.But a number of challenges have impeded the development of high-performance transistors made of carbon nanotubes, tiny cylinders made of carbon...
DC/DC converters support energy-efficient designs
The latest DC/DC converters from RECOM, which have the features needed to power silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFET drivers in efficiency-focused applications like electric vehicles (EVs), renewable-energy conversion, and high-power industrial drives are available at Dengrove Electronic Components.
Custom solid-state relay solution to replace EMRs and SSRs
A CMOS-based isolated FET (Field Effect Transistor) driver family has been introduced by Silicon Labs, enabling developers to use their choice of application-specific, high-volume FETs to replace outmoded electromechanical relays (EMRs) and optocoupler-based SSRs (Solid-State Relays).
DC/DC converters feature high power industrial drives
The latest DC/DC converters from RECOM, feature needed to power Silicon-Carbide (SiC) MOSFET drivers in efficiency-focused applications like EVs (electric vehicles), renewable-energy conversion, and high-power industrial drives.
Positive signs for LOPEC 2107
The 2016 global revenue for products using printed and organic electronics is estimated at 26.9billion US dollars, an annual increase of 31.8 percent since 2010. And according to the consulting firm Smithers Apex, the market volume is predicted to grow to an estimated 43 billion US dollars by 2020.
TO thermal resistance and beyond
Heat dissipation is a key factor in the design of a power system; in a world where the trend is for more power in a smaller space, are TO-style packages still the best solution? TO packages were originally intended for discrete transistors, in fact TO stands for ‘transistor outline’.The metal flange that protrudes from the top, or the mounting hole in the packaging, makes them easily identifiable.
Diamond can be useful material for growing graphene
A team led by Materials Scientist Anirudha Sumant with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory's Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) and Materials Science Division, along with collaborators at the University of California-Riverside, has developed a method to grow graphene that contains relatively few impurities and costs less to make, in a shorter time and at lower temperatures compared to the processes widely used to m...
TSMC certifies Synopsys IC Compiler II
Synopsys announced that TSMC has certified the complete suite of Synopsys' digital, signoff and custom implementation tools for TSMC's most advanced 7 nm FinFET technology node. With multiple designs already under development by early adopters of 7nm technology, this certification enables mutual customers to derive the maximum benefits of the new technology node using IC Compiler II.
CES celebrates 50 years of technology
2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the world's leading innovation event, cementing CES' place in history as the global gathering place for innovation and technology. Since its start in 1967, CES has showcased an estimated 700,000 products. These include world-changing innovations such as the VCR (1970), the DVD (1996), digital radio (2000) and Blu-ray recording standards released (2002).
