Increased capacitance density enables a reduced parts count
Saving space and increasing system reliability, Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems announces a series of miniaturised, cost-effective, aluminium electrolytic capacitors. The FKS series devices feature an increase in capacitance of up to three times when compared to Panasonic's most popular FK series in the same can size.
Over 1 trillion sensors could be deployed by 2020
The proliferation of mobile devices, the growing popularity of wearables and the advent of the connected IoT are driving expected demand for sensors into the trillions. However, to achieve the full potential of these and other products, sensors need innovations to address critical unmet needs in power consumption, sensitivity, form factor and cost, according to Lux Research.

Are silicon anode batteries the 'Holy Grail'?
Elon Musk recently announced the use of silicon by Tesla in its automotive batteries: “This is just sort of a baby step in the direction of using silicon in the anode, but we will be increasing the use”. This unusual side comment has nonetheless triggered renewed interested in the topic. IDTechEx Research has been studying the topic for some time and finds that Si anode batteries will generate more than $4bn in 2026. By Franco Gonzal...

Anti-surge resistors offer high reliability & stable resistance
Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems has recently introduced a range of anti-surge resistors benefiting from capacitive-coupled isolation for high-temperature and small size requirements. Featuring a 0402 case size and a rated power of 0.2W, ERJ-PA2 series resistors offer space savings without compromising on rated power specifications.
Sensor evaluation kit accelerates prototyping
The Grid-EYE Infrared (IR) Array Sensor Evaluation Kit, powered by Panasonic’s high-precision IR sensor platform for fast prototyping is in stock at element14. The evaluation kit combines Panasonic’s industry leading Grid-EYE sensor, its “nanopower” PAN1740 Bluetooth Smart Module and a microcontroller on one PCB, enabling engineers to design and develop wireless sensor prototypes quickly.
First laser arrays monolithically grown on 300mm silicon wafers
Imec and Ghent University present, for the first time, arrays of indium phosphide lasers monolithically integrated on 300mm silicon substrates in a CMOS pilot line. This breakthrough achievement, published in Nature Photonics, provides a path toward high-volume manufacturing of cost-effective PICs with monolithically integrated laser sources. Such laser-powered PICs will revolutionise data transfer between future logic and memory chips.
