The voice at the heart of new audio system applications
According to Alexis Debray, PhD. Technology and Market Analyst, Optoelectronics from Yole Development, VPA is the main driver for the audio industry today.Dimitrios Damianos, PhD. Technology and Market Analyst Photonics, Sensing and Display at Yolealso said: “An interesting feature of this new application is that it spreads through various systems: smartphones, smart speakers, smart watches, wireless earbuds, cars, smart TVs and their remot...
3D printed professional luminaires for a circular economy
Signify has unveiled its facilities to 3D print light shades and fittings (luminaires) in the Netherlands and plans to establish 3D printing factories in the US, India and Indonesia. This highly flexible, more sustainable form of manufacturing uses a 100% recyclable polycarbonate material, which allows luminaires to be tailored to customer’s exact needs and recycled at the end of their life, supporting a circular economy.
Half turn trimmer capacitors claim to cure medical shortages
Knowles Precision Devices' brand, Voltronics, offers a range of non-magnetic trimmer to offer the medical industry a consistent source of supply, in the face of other companies ceasing or limiting supply
Range of capacitors designed for high voltage EV applications
Automotive is one of the strongest growing markets for electronic components worldwide. AEC-Q200 compliant components are consistently being designed into automotive systems such as EV power train and battery management, infotainment, engine control, air bags, lighting and more. The demand for ‘off-the-shelf', yet highly rugged devices is expanding fast, and in many cases outstripping supply.
Has the 1806 three terminal ‘C’ filter become obsolescent?
In regards to component obsolescence, Steve Hopwood, Senior Application Engineer at Knowles Precision Devices (KPD), stated: “The rate of component obsolescence has increased over the last 15 years. OCMs are discontinuing more part numbers per year for a variety of reasons, including manufacturing changes, changes in die dimensions and other technology changes.”
Combining small size and high performance with non-magnetic properties
Johanson Manufacturing branded Variable Inductors, from Knowles Precision Devices, combine small size and high performance with non-magnetic properties. Inductors and variable inductors are necessary elements of many RF products. They are used for matching and loading low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers and mixers, as well as for providing frequency- selective resonant circuits in variable-frequency oscillators.
EMI filters for Hi-Rel applications
Knowles Precision Devices has a range of EMI components, under the SYFER brand, that appeal to designers in the medical implantable and space sectors as well as industrial, automotive, aerospace and telecom applications.The increasing use of SMD filters over conventional panel mounted filters has simplified assembly methods, reduced production costs and enabled smaller volumetric efficiencies to be gained giving options to the designer - particul...
Capacitor line provides broadband rejection in decoupling
The new V Series capacitors deliver increased broadband rejection in a significantly reduced footprint for bypass capacitor filtering networks. Released under the DLI brand from Knowles Precision Devices, this cost effective capacitor line is built on a compact 30 mil by 30 mil footprint. This RF signal blocking design tool will solve the needs of design engineers looking to decouple RF signals from DC bias lines in active circuit designs, such a...
Blocking capacitors designed for MMIC circuits RF bypassing
With a large in-house portfolio of dielectric materials, custom engineered solutions are now available for customer (specification) needs. Circuit designers and engineers tend to turn to a pair of the company's cataloged products, Bar Capand Gap Capfor decoupling, RF bypassing and DC blocking applications.
