Cables and connectors are at the core of today’s sophisticated operating systems. As we shift our focus to the technology of tomorrow and move towards a 5G-enabled world, cables and interconnects must be of the highest standard and reliability. This article examines two key application areas: Vector Network Analysers (VNAs) and Probe Stations. Masaru Omoto of Junkosha explains more.

To be a semiconductor company used to mean that you fabricated your own chips, but today, most semiconductor companies are fabless whereby they leverage each other by allowing a chip foundry to aggregate everyone’s chip production. They benefit from unified design rules and better utilisation of production capacity. The foundries invest to improve their efficiencies and capacities by driving to new device geometry nodes and better device li...

Microchip Technology has announced it is shipping engineering silicon for its RT PolarFire FPGA while the device is being qualified to spaceflight component reliability standards. Designers can now create hardware prototypes with all the same electrical and mechanical performance that the space-qualified RT PolarFire FPGAs will provide for high-bandwidth on-orbit processing systems with low power consumption and the ability to withstand radiation...

Arduino PRO has announced the launch of the new Portenta Machine Control, a low-power industrial control unit to drive equipment and machinery. The product was presented within the context of Arduino’s ongoing efforts to ‘become an ideal partner for companies in the Industry 4.0 revolution’, as stated by CEO Fabio Violante.

In modern offline AC/DC power solutions, programmability and adaptive control offer the flexibility and intelligence needed by smart home devices to better interface with their power systems. In these systems, a secondary side MCU is typically not capable of starting a system without the use of a separate bias power supply. A new reference design from Microchip Technology claims to have solved this problem using the MCP1012 high voltage auxiliary...

Green Hills Software has announced the immediate availability of the MULTI Toolbox for Embedded Coder, enabling engineers to easily and efficiently develop and deploy their Simulink and MATLAB models on a wide range of embedded processors.

EPC has announced the availability of theEPC9146, a 400W motor drive demonstration. The EPC9146 power board contains three independently controlled half bridge circuits, featuring theEPC2152monolithic ePower Stage with integrated gate driver, 80V maximum device voltage, 15A (10 ARMS) maximum output current.

Imperas Software has announced the release of the latest update to the RISC-V architectural validation test suites for the RV32/64K Crypto (scalar) extension. Developed in conjunction with the guidelines of the RISC-V International Architecture Tests SIG, Imperas has achieved an almost 100% functional coverage of the instructions based on the RISC-V Cryptographic Extensions task group’s functional coverage plan.

Gordon E. Moore, one of the Co-founders of chipmaker Intel, predicted famously that the computing capacity of a microchip would double every two years, in what is now known as Moore’s Law. Despite having faster computers and phones, train passengers have in the past not been able to benefit from a stable internet access on their journey. Here, Martin Frederiksen, Managing Director ofRecab UK, explores the technological changes that will all...
