The evolution and optimisation of wireless power transfer
Although Nikola Tesla pioneered the concept of wireless power transfer (WPT) and ushered in the wireless communication age, it was really the latest generation of smartphones that widely introduced the capability to charge a battery without a physical connection. A wide variety of industrial, medical, consumer and automotive applications are quickly applying this technology.
Enhancing microLED display innovation
Plessey has announced that it has placed an order for its next reactor from AIXTRON SE, the provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry. The AIX G5+C metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) reactor will boost Plessey’s manufacturing capability of gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) wafers targeting next-generation microLED applications.

Vishay reveals technology slate for electronica
Vishay Intertechnology has announced its technology lineup for electronica 2018 in Munich (November 13-16). In its main booth C4.421-422 and Automotive Innovation booth B4.W07-W10 — both new locations for the company this year — the company will be exhibiting its latest passive and semiconductor component, optoelectronic, and sensor technologies for a wide range of applications.
SiC wide band-gap devices increase performance
History has a habit of repeating itself, or so the often-quoted phrase goes. Sometimes our human fallibility does indeed lead us to repeat mistakes from the past, while on other occasions, a concept or technique leads us back to an approach that was once of value but ended up consigned to textbook history. The electronics industry is no stranger to picking up ideas from the past, dusting them off and giving them a new lease of life or incorporati...
Volume production of automotive display driver IC begins
Volume production from MagnaChip of a new Display Driver IC (DDIC)for automotive panel displays has begun.The company is planning to expand its business to various automotive display applications in the market, starting with the design-win of new product at a Japanese panel maker of automotive CSD (Center Stack Display) panels.
Compact GaN driver cuts power supply size by up to 80%
The LMG1020 gallium nitride (GaN) driver from Texas Instruments is available from Mouser Electronics. The single, low-side driver enables efficient, high-performance designs in speed-critical applications such as LiDAR, time-of-flight laser drivers, facial recognition, augmented reality, and class E wireless chargers.
Missile defence capabilities at MSPO 2018
At Poland’s International Defence Industry Exhibition, MSPO, Northrop Grumman Corporation is showcasing its missile defence, advanced armaments and defence electronics capabilities. MSPO takes place Sept. 4-7 in Kielce, Poland. The Northrop Grumman exhibits are at stand numbers F-27 and E-37.
Half bridge GaN driver with adjustable dead-time
The LMG1210 is a 200V, half-bridge high performance gallium nitride field effect transistor (GaN FET) driver designed for applications requiring high switching speed, minimised dead time, as well as high efficiency.Drive voltage is precisely controlled by an internal LDO to 5V when higher auxiliary voltages are used.
Equalisers deliver reliable, tight-tolerance solutions in TOSA
A range of ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric) equalisers has been launched by AVX Corporation, with the GEQ Series RC equalisers. These combine high-performance tantalum nitride (TaN) resistive elements and silicon/oxygen/nitrogen (SiON) capacitive elements with AVX’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich FLEXITERM surface-mount technology.
