The international meeting place for the PCB and EMS industry
At productronica’s PCB & EMS Marketplace and on the highlight day 'Sustainable EMS' in Hall B3, manufacturers of printed circuit boards and EMS providers will show real examples of how they are meeting the needs of the automotive industry, medical technology, industrial electronics and mechanical engineering. Productronica will take place on the grounds of Messe München from November 14th to 17th, 2017.
Digitalisation progressing in the electronics industry
Digitalisation is progressing and electronics is making its way into more and more areas of life. In this context, the functionality of the devices is essentially determined by the circuit board.At the PCB & EMS Marketplace and on the highlight day 'Sustainable EMS' in Hall B3, manufacturers of printed circuit boards and EMS providers will show concrete examples of how they are meeting increasing requirements in the automotive industry, medic...
Folding robots are capable of complex movements
The traditional Japanese art of origami transforms a simple sheet of paper into complex, three-dimensional shapes through a very specific pattern of folds, creases, and crimps. Folding robots based on that principle have emerged as an exciting new frontier of robotic design, but generally require onboard batteries or a wired connection to a power source, making them bulkier and clunkier than their paper inspiration and limiting their functionalit...
Micro motor connectors reduce installation times
Connectivity and sensors provider,TE Connectivity (TE),helps servo motor manufacturers keep up with motor connectivity trends by offering a wide range of connectors and associated components for different types of electric motors. TE’s product line spans proven, standard connectors and customised cable assemblies, through to the latest sensor and magnet wire innovations.
ULIS experiences 20% annual growth rate in thermal image sensors
Manufacturer of thermal sensors, ULIS, has announced that it will again significantly increase its R&D spending for 2017 to reach €15m ($16.8m). This investment marks the company’s strong growth and market leadership progression over the last 15 years.

Bandwidth-heavy applications create growth opportunities
Governments and industry stakeholders are keenly following developments in the microelectronics industry, as these technologies could potentially disrupt and bolster the Internet of Things (IoT) Mega Trend. Microelectronics will support eco-friendliness, Innovating to Zero, smart and connected homes, cloud computing and miniaturisation trends, and influence the technological progress of a wide range of industries.
Low-power embedded SRAM achieves battery-free operation
The successful development of a new low-power SRAM circuit technology has been announced by Renesas Electronics. The technology can be embedded in application specific standard products (ASSPs) for Internet of Things (IoT), home electronics, and healthcare applications. The new technology provides a function for switching dynamically, with a low power overhead, between active operation, in which the CPU core performs read and write operations of ...
Topological insulators become magnetic at room temperatures
In the world of electronics, where the quest is always for smaller and faster units with infinite battery life, topological insulators (TI) have tantalising potential.In a paper to be published inScience Advances,Jing Shi, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Riverside, and colleagues at MIT and Arizona State University report they have created a TI film just 25 atoms thick that adheres to an insulating magnetic f...
Multi-bit TVS diodes protect high-speed interfaces from ESD
New multi-bit, low-capacitance Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes have been launched by Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) that protect high-speed interfaces from electronic discharge (ESD) and surge voltages.The new line-up covers four products including DF5G5M4N, DF5G6M4N, DF6D5M4N and DF6D6M4N. All of these can protect different high-speed interfaces including USB Type-C and HDMI.
‘It all starts with a sensor’ – the importance of sensors in IoT
Hardware Pioneers is a group of over 6,000 startup founders, executives, engineers and developers that come together every month in London to listen to industry talks and establish new connections. Last week, Electronic Specifier attended Hardware Pioneers’ latest event entitled ‘All About IoT sensors’. The evening consisted of presentations, community announcements and a networking session.
