CS International assembles its strongest ever line-up of speakers
CS International hit a new high by assembling its strongest ever line-up of speakers. At the meeting, more than 300 delegates gained great insight into the potential of various aspects of the compound semiconductor industry, thanks to presentations from seven leading market analysts.
Hearing aid uses less energy for twice the processing power
NXP Semiconductors has, in partnership with Sonova, announced the collaborativedevelopment of Venture, a high performance next-gen hearing instrument platform. Using the advanced platform, Sonova has introduced a family of hearing aids, Phonak Audéo V, which launched in October 2014, aiming to address the low penetration rate of the technology in developing countries.
Integrated regulator minimises PCB area in MCU applications
A regulator, which monolithically integrates a transistor, Zener diode and resistor to provide a 5V 15mA output from inputs of up to 60V, has been released by Diodes Incorporated.Offered in a small SOT-23 package, the ZXTR2105F reduces component count and minimises PCB area in MCU applications, such as DC cooling fans for PCs and servers, as well motor drive, blowers and sensor applications in industrial and automotive market segments.
Platform enables transition to 3D FinFET-based designs
Synopsys has announced that its GalaxyDesign Platform enables 90% of the production tapeouts of FinFET-based designs. The company has also highlighted the use of its Galaxy Design Platform byHiSilicon Technologies,for the implementation of ARMCortex-A72, Cortex -A57 and Cortex -A53 processor-based FinFET designs targeting TSMC's 16nm process technology.
SmartKem announce an extensive collaboration with CPI
SmartKem has announced an extensive collaboration programme with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), for the development of pre-production prototypes featuring the SmartKem unique range of semiconductor inks for the manufacture of ultra flexible TFTs.
How to drive more peripherals with lower power dissipation
Watch to learn how making a small change in your low-side drivers can make a big impact on the system’s power dissipation. Darlington transistor arrays are commonly used with an MCU to interface to devices with higher power demands like motors, relays and LEDs.
Laser beam profiling camera features SNR of 1000:1
Adding to its Pyrocam family of pyroelectric laser beam profiling cameras, Ophir Photonics announced its Pyrocam IIIHR, at Photonics West. Designed for OEM applications, this camera features a sensitive 160x160 pixel image array that can profile beams up to 12.8mm without the need for reduction optics. The higher resolution, 80µm pixel pitch means it can analyse beams up to 20% smaller.
Plastic LCDs are cheap, light, thin & shatterproof
The partnership between FlexEnable and Merck has yielded an LCD which is completely free of glass, instead using organic transistors on a plastic sheet. Plastic LCD technology has the potential to make products ten times thinner, more than ten times lighter and cheaper than conventional glass-based displays while being shatterproof and even conformal.
IoT sensors set to drive printed electronics gold rush
Prime time for printed sensors- the printed electronics industry shows a huge interest in sensors as it seeks to forget the failures from the past. By Dr Guillaume Chansin, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.
MOSFETs suit demanding power conversion applications
Integrating power N-channel MOSFETs and drivers tailored for use in extreme reliability and high temperature applications, X-REL Semiconductor has introduced two product families. The XTR20410 and XTR20810 devices both target DC/DC converters, motor control, power switching and other power conversion applications in demanding aerospace, industrial, hybrid and EV, transportation, geothermal and oil and gas markets.
