Development kit targets 32-bit microcontrollers
The 32F769IDISCOVERY Discovery Kit from ST Microelectronics is now available at Mouser Electronics. It provides an easy‑to‑use development platform for the STM32F7 series of high-performance microcontrollers. This new development tool includes an onboard 4-inch QWVGA 800×400 MIPI-DSI display with a capacitive touchscreen, and takes advantage of the STM32CubeMX initialisation tool, STM32CubeF7 embedded software package, and a full set of...
Latest report on emerging non-volatile memory
A report recently released by Yole Développement (Yole) has shown that emerging NVM sales are still moderate, announcing a $53m market in 2015. According to the ‘More than Moore’ market research and strategy consulting company, this market is limited to niche markets due to the limited density available.
Hyperfast diodes complement CoolMOS MOSFETs & discrete IGBTs
Infineon's new 650V Rapid 1 and Rapid 2 hyperfast diodes (IDP_, IDV_ and IDW_ series) are the perfect partners for CoolMOS™ MOSFETs or such discrete IGBTs as Infineon's Trenchstop™ 5. They offer outstanding value for money in AC/DC topologies like PFC, as well as for use as free-wheeling diodes in DC/DC topologies.
No mix epoxy for underfill applications
Master Bond EP3UF is a one component epoxy that contains thermally conductive fillers with very small particle sizes imparting a low thermal resistance. This low viscosity system has good flow properties and can be applied in bond lines as thin as 10-15 microns.
Silicon chips could be replaced by molecular electronics
Technion researchers have developed a method for growing carbon nanotubes that could lead to the day when molecular electronics replace the ubiquitous silicon chip as the building block of electronics. The findings are published this week inNature Communications.Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have long fascinated scientists because of their unprecedented electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties, and chemical sensitivity.
Electrode system optimised for lowest possible ESR
A new addition to the range of High-Q MLCCs has been released byKnowles Capacitors brand, Syfer. Designated as the “H” series they are manufactured from a very stable, X8G High Q ceramic dielectric to provide Ultra-low ESR, with excellent low loss performance and low power consumption, in high environmental temperature and high frequency systems. They exhibit no ageing effects, with stability under voltage and very low drift.
