This year’s PCIM exhibition introduced a whole host of new power products, technologies and applications. Sally Ward-Foxton reports from Nuremberg.This year’s PCIM (power conversion, intelligent motion) exhibition in Nuremberg brought together 436 exhibitors and more than 10,000 visitors from around the world to share the latest in power products, technologies and applications.

A number of drugs—from insulin to cancer chemotherapy—can be delivered only via injections, which are far more difficult for patients than taking a simple tablet or pill. It can also be more expensive, as this type of drug has to be prepared very carefully and sometimes can only be administered in a clinical setting.

NXP Semiconductors and Tönnjes and Kirpestein B.V. have, after 12 months of testing in various weather conditions, with over 100 assorted military vehicles and at different speeds, presented the results of the first field trial with IDePLATEs (license plates). The field trial confirmed the secure, robust, effective, and reliable use of RFID technology for vehicle identification.

Availability and full design support capabilities for a new 2.8–3.2GHz 50W GaN Amplifier from Qorvo are announced by Richardson RFPD. The QPA1000 is a high-power, S-band amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s QGaN25 0.25um GaN on SiC production process. The device provides greater than +47 dBm of saturated output power and greater than 24dB of large-signal gain, while achieving more than 58% power added efficiency.

The JunoCam camera aboard NASA's Juno mission is operational and sending down data after the spacecraft's July 4 arrival at Jupiter. Juno's visible-light camera was turned on six days after Juno fired its main engine and placed itself into orbit around the largest planetary inhabitant of our solar system. The first high-resolution images of the gas giant Jupiter are still a few weeks away.

Experiments conducted under the leadership of a Stanford University School of Medicine investigator have succeeded, for the first time, in restoring multiple key aspects of vision in mammals.

NXP Semiconductors has announced an expansion to its portfolio of 48V GaN RF power transistors optimised for Doherty power amplifiers for use in current and next-gen cellular base stations. The four new transistors collectively cover cellular bands from 1,805 to 3,600MHz, meeting the needs of wireless carriers for superior performance at higher frequencies.

Expanding its portfolio of broadband GaN RF power transistors for electronic warfare and battlefield radio applications, NXP Semiconductors has announced six driver or final-stage amplifiers that have frequency coverage as broad as 1 to 3,000MHz.

University of Utah materials science and engineering associate professor Mike Scarpulla wants to shed light on semiconductors—literally.Scarpulla and senior scientist Kirstin Alberi of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, have developed a theory that adding light during the manufacturing of semiconductors—the materials that make up the essential parts of computer chips, solar cells and LEDs—can reduce de...

Launched nearly five years ago on 5th August, 2011, from Cape Canaveral, Florida,NASA’s solar-powered spacecraft, ‘Juno’, has crossed the four largest Galilean moons of Jupiter (eponymously named after Galileo Galilei who discovered them in 1609) and has reached its destination; Jupiter.
