X-FAB Silicon Foundries & Exagan collaborate
X-FAB Silicon Foundries and Exagan have entered into a joint development agreement to industrialise Exagan’s GaN-on-silicon technology, begin producing high-speed power switching devices on 200mm wafers and establish a European production centre where the two partner companies will manufacture GaN devices for the solar, industrial, automotive and IT electronics. The two companies already have begun to demonstrate their capabilities by proce...
Robust IGBT claims best-in-class CMTI
Designed to improve electric motor energy efficiency in industrial motor control, the ADuM4135 is an isolated IGBT gate driver from Analog Devices. It incorporates iCoupler digital isolator technology and galvanic isolation in a single package. It has, according to the company, the industry’s best combination of CMTI (Common-Mode Transient Immunity) at 100kV/µs and propagation delay of 50ns (typical).
Optical terminations target military commercial use
Mil-PRF-29504 qualified optical terminal products for either Mil-C-38999 or ARINC 600/404 connector systems developed by XiOPtics Optical Solutions are available from sole UK distributor, Astute Electronics. The Mil-T-29504 /4 and /5 termini are available as fully qualified DLA/DSCC listed QPL Mil-T-29504 termini and as lower cost COTS (commercial) versions for Mil-DTL-38999 connectors.
USB controllers for USB Type-C achieve USB-IF certification
Cypress Semiconductor has announced that its first and second generation USB Power Delivery controllers passed the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) certification test procedure for USB Power Delivery E-Marker capabilities. The EZ-PD CCG1(CYPD1103) and the EZ-PD CCG2 (CYPD2103) controllers have received Product Test IDs 1095059 and 1095054 respectively.
High power amplifiers cover UHF, VHF, L, S & C bands
Covering UHF, VHF, L, S and C frequency bands, Pasternack has announced a portfolio of solid state, high power, coaxial packaged RF amplifiers.

Synopsys to acquire Atrenta
Signing a definitive agreement, Synopsys is to acquire Atrenta. By integrating Atrenta's complementary static verification and implementation technology with Synopsys' Verification Continuum and Galaxy Design platforms, Synopsys can offer designers a more comprehensive, robust portfolio of silicon to software solutions for today's complex electronic systems.
Friction free: superlubricity at the nanoscale
Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an experimental technique to simulate friction at the nanoscale. Using their technique, the researchers are able to directly observe individual atoms at the interface of two surfaces and manipulate their arrangement, tuning the amount of friction between the surfaces. By changing the spacing of atoms on one surface, they observed a point at which friction disappears.
MOSFETs offer a 50% reduction in turn-off losses
Infineon Technologies has launched a new family of CoolMOS C7 series superjunction MOSFETs. The 600V series offers a 50% reduction in turn-off losses compared to the CoolMOS CP, offering a GaN-like level of performance in PFC, TTF and other hard-switching topologies.
