Plessey to discuss advances in the microLED market at Display Week 2018
Plessey Semiconductors has announced it will deliver a presentation on new advances in the microLED market at Display Week 2018, an international trade show and symposium held in Los Angeles from 20th to 25th May and organised by the Society for Information Display.
Surface mount capacitors suited for power converters
The KC-LINK Surface Mount Capacitors from KEMET are available at distributor Farnell element14. KEMET’s KC-LINK surface mount capacitors are designed to meet the growing demand for fast switching semiconductors that operate at a higher voltage, temperature and frequency.
Controller and driver deliver USB-PD power adapter solutions
A new solution has been introduced byON Semiconductor for high-density power adapters for notebooks, tablets, and other portable devices that require compatibility with the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) or Qualcomm Quick Charge specifications. The solution, which includes multiple patents pending, comprises the NCP1568 active clamp flyback (ACF) controller and a corresponding high-speed, half-bridge driver – the NCP51530.
Quantum coherent device enhances the measurement of electrical current
With researchers from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Royal Holloway, University of London, an international collaboration has come together and successfully demonstrated a quantum coherent effect in a new quantum device made out of continuous superconducting wire – the Charge Quantum Interference Device (CQUID).
GaN power portfolio expanded with small and fast GaN drivers
Expanding on its Gallium Nitride (GaN) power portfolio, Texas Instruments has announced two new high speed GaN Field-Effect Transistor (FET) drivers to create more efficient, higher performing designs in speed-critical applications such as Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) and 5G Radio Frequency (RF) envelope tracking. The LMG1020 and LMG1210 can deliver switching frequencies of 50MHz while improving efficiency and enabling five times smaller s...
Buck battery charger cuts power supply size and charge time in half
Texas Instruments has introduced several new power management chips that enable designers to boost efficiency and shrink power-supply and charger solution sizes for personal electronics and handheld industrial equipment.
Are EVs poisonous and do they need to be?
Diesel vehicles land, water and air, are on the way out because they emit poisons - antimony, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, cyanide, dioxin, lead, nickel, manganese, phosphorus, selenium and sulfur compounds and carcinogenic submicron particulates, organics and more. The brew has a lot in common with the poisons inhaled from smoking tobacco. However, the new electronics and electrics in and on vehicles appearing over the next ten years will contain m...
Ultra-broadband resistors feature a 125mW power rating
AVX has released the new UBR Series ultra-broadband resistors. The ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric) ultra-broadband resistors are made with high-performance tantalum nitride (TaN) materials and utilise the company’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich FLEXITERM surface-mount technology, which provides an extra measure of protection against flexure damage during installation, as well as 100% laser tr...
Measuring high temperature imaging through glass
A high performance SWIR camera with very special abilities has been introduced by FLIR Systems, the FLIR A6262sc. Using a proprietary VisGaAs detector, that provides extended spectral coverage down into the visible range, enables the FLIR A6262sc to make measurements through glass.
GaN power amplifier covers 300MHz to 6GHz spectrum
The HMC8205 gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier from Analog Devices is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. Covering the 300MHz to 6GHz spectrum, the highly integrated wideband MMIC radio frequency (RF) amplifier provides significant benefits for system designers of applications such as wireless infrastructure, radar, public mobile radio, and general-purpose amplification test equipment that require pulse or continuous wave (CW) support.
