Efficient Power Conversion Development Board Demonstrates Ease of Designing Power Systems with 200 V eGaN FETs
Efficient Power Conversion Corporation today announced the availability of the EPC9004 development board, featuring EPC’s enhancement-mode gallium nitride field effect transistors. This board demonstrates how recently introduced IC gate drivers, optimized for GaN FETs, make the task of transitioning from silicon power transistors to higher performance eGaN FETs simple and cost effective.
New High-Speed Pick & Place Machine From Manncorp For LED Board Production
Manncorp introduces the MC-LEDV3, a new high-speed pick and place machine built to assemble LED tube lights, flexible LED strips and LED bulb boards. The MC-LEDV3 features three pick-and-place heads mounted on a high-precision, ball-screw-driven gantry. Simultaneous pickup, on-the-fly (vision based) component alignment, and feeder placement optimization combine to achieve placement rates of up to 10,000 LEDs per hour, per IPC-9850.
STMicroelectronics And University Of Amsterdam Cooperate To Soar With Birds
STMicroelectronics and the University of Amsterdam Faculty of Science have announced that a sophisticated bird-tracking system developed by the university is using advanced MEMS sensing technology from ST. Weighing as little as a 20 euro cent coin or a US quarter and smaller than a car key so as not to impede the birds’ flight, the tracking systems are sophisticated data loggers that can be attached to the back of the birds. The trackers enable...
