Bringing synchronisation to digital electronics
Most electronic systems that you design or use will have one or more oscillators to provide a clock to synchronise operations, act as a frequency reference or enable accurate timing. This article discusses the advantages of quartz crystal oscillators, and some of the choices available. Qin Zhuang, Applications Engineering Manager, Diodes Incorporated explains.
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.
Audio ADC enables far-field voice capture at four times the distance
Texas Instruments has introduced a new audio analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capable of capturing clear audio up to four times farther away than competing devices. The TLV320ADC5140 is the industry’s smallest quad-channel audio ADC with this level of performance.
Three quarters of consumers worried about internet privacy
Cyber security provider F-Secure and broadband networking solutions provider Zyxel are taking their cooperation to the next level by offering F-Secure SENSE connected home security to deliver fast, secure WiFi that protects against the growing number of threats targeting connected home devices.
Helping networks adopt optical interfaces
The demand for greater bandwidth is present in all applications but nowhere is this more apparent than in telecommunications and data communications infrastructures. The use of fibre optics is an effective way of adding bandwidth, but it comes with the requirement of a transceiver module to terminate each end of the cable.

High surge TVS has low clamping voltage for USB Type-C
Low clamping voltage, high-surge transient voltage suppressors (TVS) from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor are designed for VBUS protection and can be used for USB Type-C power delivery (PD) in laptops and smartphones.
Impact of the continuing US China trade war
The trade dispute between the US and China continues to drag on. According to Reuters, US President Donald Trump recently threatened to raise tariffs further on Chinese imports if no deal is reached. Tariffs affecting most consumer electronics imports from China are scheduled to go into effect on December 15th, according to a timeline from China Briefing.
Fast switching between high speed and low power across five lanes
Diodes Incorporated has announced the PI3WVR648GEAEX five-lane MIPI 2:1 switch, capable of switching physical layers that comply with either C-PHY or D-PHY serial interfaces, as defined by the industry standard specification for image sensors and cameras in smartphones and displays in mobile applications.
Synchronous buck DC/DC regulators increase efficiency in standby mode
Efficiency in standby mode is increased by up to 6% in the AOZ6682CI and AOZ6683CI synchronous DC/DC buck regulators, says Alpha and Omega Semiconductor.
Bidirectional TVS ESD protection diode for surge protection
The ESD204 from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional TVS ESD protection diode array for HDMI and USB surge protection up to 5.5A (8/20µs). The ESD204 is rated to dissipate ESD strikes at the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (Level 4).
