Synchronous buck converters provide low EMI performance
Automotive designers can significantly lower EMI and increase efficiency with the pin-compatible MAX20073 and MAX20074 buck converters from Maxim Integrated Products. The compact converters, which according to the company offer the industry’s lowest EMI performance for low voltage Point-of-Load applications, are suitable for automotive infotainment and ADAS applications.
Axial leaded resistors offer anti-moisture performance
The HDM Series from Stackpole is an axial leaded carbon film technology resistor with moisture withstanding capability. Axial leaded resistors that need to withstand high humidity typically require a metal glaze technology which is considerably more expensive. The HDM Series can survive 100 hours in a pressure cooker at 120°C, over 98% relative humidity and two atmosphere’s pressure while standard carbon film and metal film resistors wo...
Four terminal shunts for high sensing efficiency
The HCSK Series from Stackpole is a surface mount metal element high current shunt with four terminals. Four terminal Kelvin sense resistors provide accurate sensing as it removes the effect of lead resistance in the sensing function. The HCSK2725 rated at 5W at an ambient temperature of 100ºC utilises materials and a raised element which provides tolerances as low as 1% and TCR of 50ppm/ºC.
Microwave & RF solutions to be showcased at IMS 2018
AVX will exhibit at this year’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2018), which will take place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia 10th to 15th June.AVX’s IMS exhibition will span booths #707 and #713, and will showcase the latest high-performance microwave and RF solutions from AVX and subsidiaries Ethertronics and American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC).
Challenging times ahead for the electronics industry
Members of the professional community the Electronic Components Supply Network(ecsn)collaborate each year to produce an accurate annual forecast for the UK electronic components market. They predicted that 2018was'likely to be another challenging year' and with extended manufacturer lead times, strong growth in new applications, more mergers and acquisitions, a potential trade war and the dreaded 'A' and 'B' words it seems they called it correctl...
Vitreous resistors last a lifetime in harsh environments
The GBS Series Vitreous Resistors with Corrugated Ribbon from Vishay can now be sourced in Europe through TTI. The vitreous wirewound resistors boast a completely welded construction and can be used to provide high continuous power dissipation up to 1,000W. High pulse power capability makes the devices a suitable choice for inrush limiters.
Linear regulators deliver constant LED current in compact packages
Diodes Incorporated has introduced the AL5890 linear constant-current regulator developed to provide simple and more cost-effective solutions to driving LED strings from an off-line or DC power supply.Available in a range of packages, the small form-factor of the AL5890 makes it suitable for any LED application where a lower BoM cost and sizes are important.
Axial leaded resistors designed for high voltage handling
Stackpole has announced the release of the HVAM Series, an axial leaded series of precision resistors designed for high voltage handling and high resistance values. The HVAM offers resistance values from 500K ohms to 10G ohms depending on size and tolerance.
How to manage electronic manufacturing supply chain trends
In a series of three interviews, John Dignan, Managing Director of Dynamic EMS, presents his views on the Electronics Manufacturing Service (EMS) industry; the technology and supply chain trends, as well as his views on what steps the EMS players in the UK, should take to remain competitive within the geography they reside and serve.In the second part, John discusses his supply chain predictions for the year ahead, 2018 to 2019.
Haptic feedback meets telerobotic applications
When implementing haptic feedback on a joystick through motor force or vibration, it can bring significant benefits in telerobotic applications. To do this requires precise control over the motor current on the haptic side and precise sensing of the applied motor current on the working end of the system. Gerard Bush of INMOCO discusses applications for haptic feedback and how they can be implemented.
