Linear guides used to mark on the sand for long jump events
In athletics, some disciplines are difficult to follow for spectators. For football, it is clear to see when the ball is in the goal. In long jump, however, it is it is not easy to judge whether the last jump has set a new record. Virtual lines help the TV audience but they are not visible to spectators in the stadium. The PrimeLine system, developed by Golden Fly Sports GmbH, solves this problem by projecting the ‘mark to jump’ onto ...
Miniature automotive MOSFETs bring increased power density
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the 40V-rated DMTH4008LFDFWQ and 60V-rated DMTH6016LFDFWQ automotive-compliant MOSFETs packaged in DFN2020. These miniature MOSFETs occupy just ten percent of the PCB area of larger packages, such as SOT223, enabling greater power density in DC/DC converters, LED backlighting, ADAS, and other ‘under-the-hood’ automotive applications.
Optical sensor potential in advanced driver-assisted systems
One of the key objectives of the automation space is the ability to sense the surrounding environment. The ability to view, among the various types of senses is paramount, including the capture and analysis of images and the subsequent calculation in the distances of objects, shape and motion recognition, and more.
SiC FETs with RDS(on) deliver increased efficiency
UnitedSiC, a manufacturer of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, is introducing four new SiC FETs, with RDS(ON) levels as low as 7mohms, delivering unprecedented levels of performance and efficiency for use in high-power applications such as electric vehicle (EV) inverters, high-powered DC/DC converters, high-current battery chargers and solid-state circuit breakers.
Low-noise AEC-Q101 diodes solve challenges in power amplifiers
Power Integrations has announced that its 200V Qspeed diodes, LQ10N200CQ and LQ20N200CQ, are now available with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Qspeed silicon diodes use merged-PIN technology to offer a unique balance of soft switching and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr). This results in low EMI and reduced output noise, which is especially important for in-vehicle audio systems.
High-reliability quartz crystals for harsh automotive conditions
Diodes Incorporated has introduced a series of automotive-compliant timekeeping crystals that withstand harsh operating conditions to ensure outstanding accuracy and reliability in tire-pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), infotainment, telematics, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
SiC MOSFETs come with 65, 120 and 280 mΩ on-resistance
A robust family of silicon carbide semiconductor devices from Wolfspeed is available with design support from Richardson RFPD. According to Wolfspeed, the E-Series line of SiC MOSFETs represents the industry’s first automotive-qualified, PPAP-capable and humidity-resistant MOSFETs.
mmWave transceiver system drives 6G research
A real-time sub THz software-defined radio (SDR) for 6G research is built on NI’s mmWave Transceiver System (MTS) and Virginia Diodes’ (VDI) radio heads. Using VDI radio heads, the frequency range of the MTS can extend into the sub THz range.
Automotive buck LED drivers streamline lighting
Diodes Incorporated introduced two automotive LED drivers that combine robust performance, simplified design, and flexibility to address internal and external lighting applications, such as fog lamps, position lamps, rear lamps, and door lamps. The AL8860Q and AL8861Q have a wide-operating voltage range from 4.5 to 40V to withstand load-dump events and operate correctly at low-cranking voltages in stop-start applications.
Glass passivated bridge rectifiers meet many applications
Several products from Lite-On Semiconductor, including Glass Passivated Bridge Rectifiers and a new series of Sic Schottky Diodes have been released by New Yorker Electronics. Since 2011, the manufacturer has been the largest global AC/DC GPP Bridge supplier. The NTT, the LVF/Ultra LVF and the GBJS have high surge current capacities and high heat dissipation.
