A new DC/DC converter from ROHM Semiconductor has been announced namedBD9V100MUF-C. It features a built-in MOSFET that can generate output voltages of just 3.3 or 5V (minimum 2.5V) from input voltages up to 60V at a switching frequency of 2MHz.

The Internet of Moving Things (IoMT) is here. From smartphones and tablets to smart clothing and wearables, everyday objects and devices are now able to measure, monitor and analyse motion, generating massive amounts of data and insight. Electronic Specifier caught up with Ben Lee, CEO of MEMS sensor developer mCube on what the company brings to the market space and an intriguing acquisition.

Suitable for current detection in high-power applications in the automotive, industrial and large-scale consumer electronics sectors, ROHM has announced the development and mass production of high-power low-ohmic shunt resistors of the GMR100 series. The new shunt resistors are characterised by a high rated power of 3W and a resistance range from 5-220mΩ. Their resistance tolerance is specified with F (±1%). The temperature coefficie...

Designed for reduced spaces in military and aviation applications, Amphenol Socapex's38999 Reduced Flange receptacle combines space and weight savings with the performance of a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector. Its design reduces the footprint surface by 41%. It is also 20% lighter than a standard MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector. The connector is suitable in situations where a maximum number of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors need to be ...

Do you ever wonder where the electronics industry is heading? Well this year’s productronica was definitely a clear indication. The event which was held this week from 14th-17th November in Munich, provided answers to that question, as 1,200 exhibitors from 42 countries presented innovations from the fields of electronics production and development.

Vibrating mechanical switches that can be cascaded to perform complex computational operations could take computing significantly further than today's technologies. KAUST researchers have demonstrated an alternative technology based on mechanical vibrations.

Today a wide variety of laser technologies is available to semiconductor manufacturers and enables the development of innovative semiconductor manufacturing processes. According to Yole Développement (Yole), the laser equipment market will grow at a 15% CAGR between 2016 and 2022 and should reach more than $4bn by 2022 (excluding marking). Those figures are showing the massive adoption of laser technologies for semiconductor manufacturing ...

Hirose has launched a miniature FPC-to-board connector designed for power line connection in portable devices such as drones, IoT modules, laptops, medical devices, smart phones, tablets, wearables and more. With a space-saving design that includes a 0.35mm pitch, stacking height of only 0.6mm, and depth of 1.7mm, the low-profile BM28 Series hybrid FPC-to-board offers design flexibility and enables the miniaturisation of portables devices.

The trend for miniaturisation and digitalisation is shaping medical technology, too. Systems and components for treatment, diagnosis and patient monitoring are becoming ever smaller and more powerful. In medical technology, more than any other field, safety and reliability – despite progressive miniaturisation – are an absolute priority, since reliable functioning can be vitally important.

Rutronik has set up a small quantities storage facility. The new storage facility allows the distributor to quickly supply development engineers and companies that have smaller requirements with single items and partial quantities. The small quantities are available exclusively on the e-commerce platform Rutronik24.com.
