The Earth’s population has rocketed upwards over the last few decades, rising from four billion in the mid-1970s to almost double that figure today. At the same time the land resources available for food production are being placed under threat, due to global warming and increasing urbanisation (as well as competition for space with biofuel crops). Patrick Hooijen, Product Development Manager, TTI, investigates.

Vishay Intertechnology has broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of a new high speed silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity to visible and infrared light.

The Broadcom 3W 3535 Surface Mount UV LEDs are energy-efficient LEDs that can be driven at high driving current and are able to dissipate heat efficiently, resulting in higherreliability. Theirlow-profile package design addressesa wide variety of applications where superior robustness and high efficiency are required.

Now in stock at distributor New Yorker Electronics is the new Vishay Semiconductors VEMD8081 high-speed and high-sensitivity PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity for visible light.

Pixus Technologies has announced that it now offers a conduction-cooled model for their 3U OpenVPX Chassis Manager. Compliant to the VITA 46.11 specification for system management and to VITA 48.2 for mechanical design, the Tier 2 Pixus OpenVPX Chassis Manager monitors at least six temperature sensors and ten fans with custom options available.

Signify is transforming Gran Canaria’s most important highway, known as GC-1, into a smart highway with Interact City. The Cabildo (council) of Gran Canaria has upgraded the lighting system to LEDs that provide a 2700K colour temperature. This supports its main objective of preserving the outstanding conditions for viewing the night sky as required by the Canarian Observatories.

With the MagI³C-LDHM (LED Step Down High Current Module) Power Module, Würth Elektronik now has the perfect solution for LED power supply in its portfolio. To make it even easier for developers to use these DC/DC converters with integrated controller IC, inductors and capacitors, Würth Elektronik now offers an LDHM Evaluation Board.

The longer the coronavirus pandemic lasts, the more important it is to stay safe and healthy in everyday life. Hygiene measures, such as wearing a facemask or socially distancing, help safeguard against the spread of germs. But light in the right wavelength also makes an enormous contribution to fighting viruses. UV-C LED light can eliminate 99.9% of viruses and bacteria on surfaces, in the air and in drinking water.

Designers of battery powered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other connected products are being asked to meet the conflicting requirements of continuous wireless connectivity and extended battery life. Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics, explains.
