Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced a strategic investment in SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc., a Mississippi-based manufacturer of high-voltage silicon-carbide (SiC) semiconductor devices. Power Integrations’ commitment of $30 million, which includes an equity investment in SemiSouth, a technology license and other financial commitments, will help ...

With the new logo Rutronik – Electronics Worldwide and a matching corporate design, Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH is presenting itself at the electronica in hall A5, stands 159 and 260, as the worldwide supplier of innovative components and complete solutions.

By Adrian Schärli, Azular GmbH, for Essemtec AG There is always something that goes not as planned: For example a prototype that must be squeezed in between the running production, a component that has been wrongly specified or a special component for which no feeder is available. It is such a small deviation from the normal that can derange the SMT production planning and lead to delays and increased costs.

In an industry in transition, it is incumbent upon executives to make difficult choices on new investments, resource allocation and expansion. To help executives understand new industry paradigms and manage change, industry leaders and experts will come together at the Electronics Industry Executive Summit: Ideas for a Bright Future in the New Electronics Industry, October 13–14, 2010, in Palm Springs, Calif., sponsored by IPC — Association C...

The Deeter Group, market leaders in the design, development and manufacture of electronic sensors and control systems, produces a very wide range of level sensor solutions for liquids; from simple water level switches and units designed as pure water level sensors to the very popular 20 series compact float switch and the advanced LVCS continuous liquid level sensor.

The Innovative Plastics strategic business unit of SABIC announced at Chinaplas, the first new custom-colorable LNP Thermocomp thermoplastic compound for laser direct structuring (LDS) to save space and reduce the weight of mobile devices. LDS is a sophisticated process for integrating electronic and mechanical functionality into a single module, such as mobile phone and notebook antennas. Previously, only black plastic materials were available, ...

Strong demand for MEMS-based sensors, fiber-optic laser transmitters, CMOS image sensors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and power transistors enabled the optoelectronic, sensor/actuator, and discrete semiconductors marketplace to grow by a slightly better-than-average 8% in 2011 to a new record-high $57.4 billion despite a substantial pullback in most product categories at the end of the year, according to IC Insights’ new 2012 Optoelectronics,...

Three new junction boxes for PV solar power applications have been introduced by Multi-Contact. The Westlake box is cost-optimised for crystalline solar panels and its low profile means it can be installed directly under the module frame. This saves installation time by removing the need to bend the connecting ribbons.

Maxim has introduced the MAX3600, a 3-channel RGB laser driver that enables the integration of high-resolution pico projectors into small-form-factor applications. Fabricated using Maxim's newest BiCMOS process, this device achieves very fast switching times of < 2ns to support high-resolution images up to 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) and WXGA (1400 x 768 pixels). Additionally, it eliminates the need for three discrete laser drivers, thus enabling ...

Avago Technologies announced it has developed the industry’s first compact high-brightness water-resistant tricolor surface mount light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for use in indoor and outdoor full color signs and displays. Avago’s ASMT-QTCO Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC)-6 Blackbody and ASMT-YTBO industry standard PLCC- 4 LEDs have been enhanced to make them water-resistant. As a result, a protection cover is not needed saving money for in...
