Microsemi provides space-age power, comms & avionics
Microsemi has announced that its industry-leading space solutions are onboard NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto. The Microsemi products onboard include power supplies, electromechanical latching relays, several JANS class diode and transistor discretes, and RTSX-SU FPGAs which are used in imaging cameras providing high-resolution images, as well as in the comms, avionics and payload systems.
Brushless fan motor controllers feature PWM control
A series of three-phase brushless fan motor controllers from ROHM are available at Farnell element14. The controllers – part of the BD6201x and BM620x families of products – synthesise the optimal driving signal from hall sensor signals and output the synthesised signal to control the external level shifter and power transistor.
How to make large 2D sheets of graphene
Sheets of graphene and other materials that are virtually two-dimensional hold great promise for electronic, optical, and other high-tech applications. But the biggest limitation in unleashing this potential has been figuring out how to make these materials in the form of anything larger than tiny flakes. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere may have found a way to do so.
TSMC certifies Synopsys design tools for 10nm FinFET technology
Synopsys has announced that TSMC has certified the Synopsys GalaxyDesign Platform digital and custom design tools for TSMC's 10nm FinFET process. The certification is based on the V0.9 version of the process and enables design engineering teams using TSMC's 10nm process to realise the power of IC Compiler II's high throughput. Tool certification of V1.0 process is targeted to be completed Q4 2015.
SiC technology adoption pushed towards the EV/HEV industry
After several years of delays and questioning, SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology confirms its added-value, compared to existing silicon technologies. In its latest report, GaN and SiC Devices for Power Electronics Applications (July 2015 edition), Yole Développement announces the penetration of SiC, from low to high voltage (600 to 3,300V), in the following market segments: PFC, PV, diodes with EV/HEV, wind, UPS and motor drives. Under this...
Printed electronics equipment sales: companies look to Asia
The printed electronics equipment and consumables supplier base consists of over 100 global organisations, according to IDTechex Research in their report Printing Equipment for Printed Electronics 2015-2025. The majority of these are based in Europe, followed by a roughly even share of US and Asian based companies. Within Europe itself, Germany is home to more equipment makers than other European countries.By Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx.
Range of products are based on the 6th Gen Intel Core processor family
DFI has introduced a range of products based on 6th Gen Intel Core processor family, including 12 industrial motherboards, two SBCs, four COM Express modules and one compact ULT-based embedded system.
EuMW 2015: GaN RF transistors enable smaller radar units
Three new GaN RF transistors in low-cost plastic packages designed to enable smaller size and greater reliability in civilian marine, airborne and infrastructure radar systems were unveiled by Qorvo at European Microwave Week in Paris. The TGF2977-SM, TGF2978-SM, and TGF2979-SM are unmatched GaN transistors designed to operate in the 8-12GHz frequency band.
GaN Systems to showcase 650V, 100A GaNpower transistors
GaN Systems will be displaying its GS66540C 650V, 100A GaN power transistors for the first time at the 17th Conference on Power Electronics and Applications, EPE’15 - ECCE Europe. Hosted by CERN in Geneva from 8th to 10th September, the conference and exhibition bring together leading industry figures in power electronics and experts from research and academic institutions to share knowledge and display cutting-edge developments in power te...
Distributed power amp supplies +25dBm saturated output power
Analog Devices has introduced a medium-power, distributed driver amplifier which operates between 24 and 35GHz. The HMC1131 provides 22dB of gain, +35dBm output IP3, and +24dBm of output power at 1dB gain compression. The amplifier reduces the number of components required to achieve the desired output power and small signal gain, which lowers development costs and design time by enabling simpler transmit line-ups and higher integration.
