Cypress Semiconductor has announced that its USB-C solution has enabled Taiwan-based cable company ELKA International to deliver the market’s first HDMI Alternate Mode (alt mode) cable.

Together,Apple and Alphabet haveset the agenda for integrating smartphones with vehicle entertainment systemsfor nearly three years, in the form of Apple’s CarPlay and Alphabet’s Android Auto. However one of the events from CES 2017 was the emergence of a consortium of automakers coming together to back SmartDeviceLink, a technology which could present a serious challenge to Apple and Alphabet for automotive smartphone integration.Sem...

Distributor Rutronik has presented a highly-compressible Thermal Interface Material (TIM) from Panasonic, the Soft-PGS. Its 200µm thickness guarantees thermal stability up to 400°C with thermal conductivity up to 400W/mK. Soft-PGS is a 200µm thick graphite sheet designed for use as a thermal interface material for IGBT modules.

Mouser Electronics will be putting the emphasis on how it supports the design process in a number of ways at Embedded World 2017 in Nuremberg (March 14-16). On demonstration will be two MikroElektronica Click Boards, exclusively developed for Mouser, that provide a low cost development platform for Panasonic’s Grid Eye sensor and Intel’s Joule 570x developers kit.

The MAXREFDES130# from Maxim Integrated is a complete reference for prototyping building automation designs. It is now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. The Arduino Uno R3-form-factor shield is compatible with both Arduino and ARM mbed platforms, giving designers a choice of development ecosystems.

A highly-compressible Thermal Interface Material (TIM) has been launched by Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe which aims to reduce contact thermal resistance between rough surfaces in thin spaces. Soft-PGS enhances the thermal coupling between heat producing devices (heat sources) and heat dissipation devices (heat sinks).

Although they’ve been superseded in some applications by newer technologies such as SSRs (Solid State Relays), EMRs (Electromechanical Relays) still have a lot to offer. Avnet Abacus' Mathias Goebel explains.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, entitledSupercapacitor Market by Module Type, Application, and Geography: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014–2022, the global supercapacitor market is anticipated to account for $6.3bn by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 28.7% from 2016 to 2022.

Supercapacitors are an alternative to using a battery or indeed the more common-or-garden variety of capacitor in many energy storage applications, perhaps as backup power or for high-surge demand applications. Avnet Abacus' Adam Chidley explains.
