Integrated GaAs technology enables single chip GaAs solutions for 5G
Pure-play compound semiconductor foundry, WIN Semiconductors, has announced the commercial release of its high integration mmWave GaAs platform, PIH1-10. Optimised for 5G front-ends, the PIH1-10 technology combines an advanced 100GHz ƒt enhancement-mode pHEMT with monolithic PIN and Schottky diodes to provide best in class mmWave performance for all front-end functions.
USB Type-C port switch to support audio signals and legacy data
Diodes Incorporated has announced thePI3A6386USB Type-C multimedia port switch, designed to enable manufacturers to continue supporting legacy data and analogue peripherals through USB Type-C ports. As a result of the adoption of USB Type-C ports in mobile phones and tablets, manufacturers are removing other ports such as USB 2.0 and 3.5mm audio sockets. The PI3A6386 port switch enables legacy data and audio signals to be passed through the USB T...
Who and what was worth seeing at PCIM 2019?
Power is always an interesting topic as it is a necessity in life, but after visiting my first ever PCIM show this week it has opened my eyes as to how big the automotive power sector is, and how much it is expected to grow.Of course the big players in the automotive industry continue to innovate, but PCIM this year saw more companies starting to become involved in automotive power, whereas before they stuck to the more energy and industrial side...
Nanopower high-input voltage supervisor with manual reset
The TPS3840 from Texas Instruments is a nanopower high-input voltage supervisor with manual reset and programmable reset time delay. Wide Vin allows monitoring nine volt rails or batteries without external components and 24V rails with external resistors. Nano-Iq extends battery life for low power applications and minimises current consumption when using external resistors.
What is the right temperature point for my electrical enclosure?
Electrical enclosures serve to protect electrical devices from adverse environmental influences, such as dirt, other particulates, moisture, or chemicals that could damage components. Plus, by housing electrical devices inside a secure enclosure or box, personnel are protected from electrical hazards such as electric shock, arc flash, and burns. However, electrical devices generate heat as a byproduct of their operation.
Driving the new era of electric powertrain development
GKN Automotive, Drive System Design and the University of Nottingham are collaborating on an £8m project to design and develop an EV powertrain for the global market.ACeDrive (Advanced Cooling and Control of High Speed e-Drive) is backed by match-funding from the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC). Already progressing through concept selection, it aims to achieve the level of technology and performance outlined in the Automotive Council&rsquo...
Power transistors to hit another sales record after growth bubble ends
Double digit percentage sales growth in power transistors strengthened last year, climbing 14% in 2018 to reach an all time high of $16.3bn after setting the previous record in 2017 with an 11% increase, according to IC Insights’ 2019O-S-D Report - A Market Analysis and Forecast for Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes.
Efficient power transistor enables compact amplifier designs
A high-efficiency 750W RF power transistor has been announced by Ampleon, with the BLF0910H9LS750P, which has a high efficiency of 72.5% at 915MHz and a rugged design. The device operates at frequencies from 902MHz to 928MHz making it suitable for use in industrial, scientific, and medical systems, as well as for professional cooking applications.
PCIM Europe – where power is at the core of innovation
This year’s PCIM Europe was attended by a record number of visitors, over 12,000. Over half (54%) were from outside Germany. They came to see over 500 exhibitors and while the subject matter was diverse and wide-ranging, there were some themes that emerged. GaN and SiC jostled for attention at this year’s PCIM Europe, writes Caroline Hayes, alongside current sensor developments designed to accelerate adoption rates for electric vehicl...
Flash memory achieves larger capacities and faster read operation
Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced the development of a new flash memory technology that achieves larger memory capacities, higher readout speeds, and over-the-air (OTA) support for automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) using the next-generation 28nm process.
