Understanding ESR in electrolytic capacitors
Today’s microprocessor-based systems require power sources that deliver high current and ultra fast transient performance, with tight regulation. This creates a need for cost effective, compact capacitors with high capacitance values. Electrolytic capacitors are the solution of choice but it’s important to go beyond specifying capacitance and voltage to consider Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) as a figure of merit.
Avnet Silica signs Silego to exclusive EMEA deal
Avnet Silica has won an exclusive agreement to distribute the product portfolio of Silego Technology in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA). The agreement is immediately effective. Silego pioneered the development of Configurable Mixed-signal ICs (CMICs), using non-volatile memory to configure and integrate analogue, digital logic and power functions enabling design engineers to reduce power, cost, size and time to market.
Communication protocol stack cuts KNX-based product design time
A communication protocol stack, implemented in firmware, for the KNX standard for the application development of home and building systems has been announced by Avnet Silica. Designed to run on XMC industrial microcontrollers from Infineon Technologies, the new KNX Stack NGS developed by Weinzierl Engineering, delivers a fully certified platform to customers to help them significantly reduce their development time of KNX based products and system...
Input protection for switched mode inverters and converters
These days, a typical specification for a power converter starts with a list of international standards that must be met for EMC and safety compliance. The requirements for functional performance are often many pages into the document.
Chip-to-chip at the speed of light
As data centres and data farms continue to expand and grow, better solutions are required for system architectures that allow faster communication and more efficient operation. The physical limits imposed by copper PCB traces are being reached - communication over copper is limited to around 10GBps, and at high speeds losses limit the distances to a few inches.
Duo commit to simplifying LoRa ecosystem
Stream Technologies, the company behind IoT-X, the advanced Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity management platform,and Laird have announced that Laird’s Sentrius RG1xx Long-Range Wireless Area Network (LoRaWAN) gateway is pre-configured out of the box to function with Stream’s LoRaWAN network server and IoT-X platform. Mass production and availability of the RG1xx family in Laird global distribution channels of Arrow, Avnet, Future...
Enabling richer data for the applications of the future
The combination of data from multiple sensor types can give electronic systems much richer and more accurate information about their environment, writes Martin Keenan, Technical Manager at Avnet Abacus.
Hands-on workshops for engineers
Engineers can now get hand-son with the Renesas Synergy Platform in a series of one-day workshops, the company has announced.Workshop participants will spend a couple of hours understanding the platform, see a demonstration of how quickly they can programme at the API, as well as completing their own project in one of the focus topics. At the end of the workshop engineers will take away their own Renesas Synergy S7 Starter Kit and Synergy ‘...
Power trends in transportation
Transportation covers a fairly broad field of endeavour, from railway systems through to hybrid electric vehicles, e-bikes, e-scooters and more besides.A focus on energy efficiency is leading to a continuous stream of technology enhancements.
When failure is not an option
What is the most vulnerable component within an electronic design? Candidates would include anything with a moving part, such as a disk drive or fan, power supplies or fans which need strict control of temperature, and ICs which are sensitive to electrical noise.
