Wearable multi-sensor reference design with Bluetooth 5
This reference design from Texas Instruments enables a wearable, optimised saturation of peripheral capillary oxygen (SpO2) and multi-sensor, multi-wavelength optical heart rate monitor (HRM). It uses AFE4420 device, which is a single-chip, bio-sensing front end for photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements.
Half-duplex transceivers bring integrated surge protection
The THVD1419 and THVD1429 from Texas Instruments are half-duplex RS-485 transceivers with integrated surge protection. Surge protection is achieved by integrating transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes in the standard eight-pin SOIC (D) package.
Transceiver eliminates need for external protection components
THVD1419 and THVD1429 from Texas Instruments are half-duplex RS-485 transceivers with integrated surge protection. Surge protection is achieved by integrating transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes in the standard eight-pin SOIC (D) package. This feature provides an increase in reliability for better immunity to noise transients coupled to the data cable, eliminating the need for external protection components.
Accelerate the design cycles of SiC-based power converters
Littelfuse has announced the Gate Drive Evaluation Platform (GDEV). The new evaluation platform helps designers evaluate SiC MOSFETs, SiC Schottky diodes, and other peripheral components like gate driver circuitry, so that they can better understand how silicon carbide technologies will behave in converter applications under continuous operating conditions.
PCIe packet switches meet automotive demands
Diodes Incorporated has announced the PI7C9X2G304EVQ and PI7C9X2G404EVQ PCIe 2.0 packet switches, offering three-ports/four-lanes and four-ports/four-lanes, respectively. The packet switches are automotive-compliant for use in telematics/ADAS, navigation systems, in-vehicle wireless routers, and emerging applications such as V2V and V2X communications.
Multichannel laser diode drivers designed specifically for LIDAR
Two new multichannel laser diode drivers designed specifically for LIDAR (Light Distancing and Ranging) applications are now available from PicoLAS. These boards offer four or 16 independently addressable channels.
ASM AMICRA CoS wins productronica innovation award
Regensburg-based ASM AMICRA Microtechnologies, a member of the ASM Group, has won the 2019 Productronica Innovation Award for its newly developed CoS (Chip-on-Submount) die-bonder. With this award, Messe München and productronic magazine honour the most innovative new products at the productronica trade fair for the electronics industry.
Ultra-low 200V IR Schottky Barrier Diodes
ROHM has announced the availability of 200V ultra-low IR Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBD) optimised for automotive applications including powertrains and xEVs. The RBxx8BM/NS200 expands on the RBxx8 lineup of SBDs enabling high temperature operation that have already been proven in the automotive market in Japan.
Automotive lighting systems gearing towards vehicular safety
Early automotive lighting solutions and vehicular systems were much simpler than the ones available at present. Cars had fewer switches, directional lights switched on focused on the desired spot and should the bulbs fail, horns from passing vehicles would alert the drivers that they were about to be blindsided. However, earlier car lighting systems were significantly less reliable than the new automotive lighting solutions of the present, which ...
Bringing synchronisation to digital electronics
Most electronic systems that you design or use will have one or more oscillators to provide a clock to synchronise operations, act as a frequency reference or enable accurate timing. This article discusses the advantages of quartz crystal oscillators, and some of the choices available. Qin Zhuang, Applications Engineering Manager, Diodes Incorporated explains.
