Advanced circuit protection solutions for connected, autonomous vehicles
As the automotive industry moves forward with the concept of semi- and fully- autonomous vehicles, the diversity of complex and sensitive electronics-based systems increases significantly. For society, automation promises to make our roads safer, with fewer accidents, and to ease traffic congestion proactively. Mouser’s Mark Patrick explains.
Good vibrations
Vibration sensors play a crucial role in advanced condition monitoring and predictive maintenance strategies. Here, Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics, explains the pros and cons of the different accelerometer designs.
Simulation and modelling provides the key to shorter design cycles
Numerous circuit design and simulation tools are now available free of charge online, provided by component suppliers. When selecting passive components, which are pushed routinely to their absolute limits in demanding applications, specialised tools provide the extra information engineers need to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Aluminium electrolytic screw terminal capacitors released
What if engineers could save 30% on room and weight, for a given energy storage function? This is now reportedly achievable with EXXELIA's new FELSIC HC series of aluminium electrolytic screw terminal capacitors.
Electrolytic capacitors meet low profile filtering applications
United Chemi-Con’s newest SMD Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor are in stock at distributor New Yorker Electronics.
Space-saving film capacitor for multiple applications
KEMET has announced its new R52 series of compact polypropylene film X2 EMI (electromagnetic interference) suppression capacitors. This series fulfils the growing need of automotive, industrial, consumer, and energy applications that require a smaller, high-capacitance X2 class solution for suppressing EMI.
Film capacitors supply ultra-stable performance
New Yorker Electronics has released Exxelia’s new 253P Series of Wrap-and-Fill High Temperature PTFE Film capacitors.
Ultra-compact fully integrated DC/DC converters
Leveraging a multi-patented design that significantly reduces the footprint and height of power-conversion circuitry, Murata has introduced the UltraBK family of compact, low-profile, fully integrated DC/DC converters.
MinE-CAP IC reduces volume of AC/DC converters
Power Integrations has announced the MinE-CAP IC for high power density, universal input AC/DC converters. By halving the size of the high-voltage bulk electrolytic capacitors required in offline power supplies, this new type of IC enables a reduction in adapter size of up to 40%. The MinE-CAP device also reduces in-rush current making NTC thermistors unnecessary, increasing system efficiency and reducing heat dissipation.
Novel 2T0C dynamic random-access memory cell architecture
At the 2020 International Electron Devices Meeting, imec presented a novel dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cell architecture that implements two indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors (IGZO-TFTs) and no storage capacitor.
