Opto Diode’s New, Medium Emission Angle, High-Power IR LEDs
Opto Diode introduces the third in a series of infrared (IR) LEDs, the OD-850L. Domestically manufactured using highly reliable, liquid-phase epitaxially-grown gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs), the new high optical output IR emitters feature a medium emission angle for optimum coverage with excellent power density. Similar to the recently introduced OD850W (wide angle emission) and the OD-850N (narrow angle emission) IR LEDs from Opto Diode, th...
Renesas Electronics Unveils New-Generation RH850 Microcontroller for Automotive Applications
Renesas Electronics today introduced the new RH850 family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) for automotive applications. The RH850 is based on 40 nanometer (nm) MONOS (metal oxide nitride oxide silicon) embedded flash technology, making Renesas the first semiconductor supplier to provide this technology in the automotive sector. The RH850 family of MCUs is based on the new RH850 32-bit core, which provides the benefits of ultra low power process ...
