UltrasCMOS FET driver enables next-generation applications
Richardson RFPD is now offering availability and full design support capabilities for a new UltraCMOS FET driver from Peregrine Semiconductor. The PE29100 integrated high-speed driver is designed to control the gates of external power devices, such as GaN Systems’ E-HEMT (enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistor) gallium nitride FETs.
New synergy linecards at electronica 2016
With the slogan ‘Accelerating Global Innovation’ Fujitsu Electronics Europe (FEEU) will be attending this year’s electronica in Munich from 8th-11th November (hall B1, booth 425).FEEU will be there informing businesses about the current supplier portfolio and range of product linecards, developed by the value added distribution partner for key sectors such as the automotive, industrial, medical and wellness and telecommunication...
Making silicon-germanium core fibres a reality
Glass fibres do everything from connecting us to the internet to enabling keyhole surgery by delivering light through medical devices such as endoscopes. But as versatile as today's fiber optics are, scientists around the world have been working to expand their capabilities by adding semiconductor core materials to the glass fibers.Now, a team of researchers has created glass fibres with single-crystal silicon-germanium cores.
Three startups ready for ESA BIC launch
Many creative minds dream of outer space – in Switzerland too. While Switzerland will not be sending any of its own rockets into space, it does make a major contribution to space technology and its universities and startups make it a world leader in cutting-edge technology. That is why the European Space Agency (ESA) approached Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Education and Research and Innovation (SERI) to establish a Business Inc...

Single chip LEDs improve thermal performance and reduce cost
Manufacturer of lighting and sensing products and components, Plessey, has announced the launch of its 7070 high power LED range, part number PLW7070GA.They take full advantage of Plessey’s GaN on silicon MaGIC technology and provide a high power LED component on an industry standard package footprint, complementing Plessey’s existing family of i2LED high power products.
Microstructure could toughen protective coatings
Hard materials like chromium nitride are used as wear and corrosion protection coatings in a wide range of applications, including metal cutting. Now, Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) researchers have discovered exactly how such materials behave when used in high-stress situations, paving the way to producing even better coatings.One way to improve a material's resistance to wear is to increase its hardness.
Engineering industrial and automotive innovation at electronica 2016
At electronica 2016 in Munich, Germany, Texas Instruments will showcase innovation focused on the future of industrial automation and automotive technologies. Take a closer look at sensor communications with wired technologies like IO-Link and wireless technologies such as BLE and explore how TI’s Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology significantly increases the efficiency in variable speed motor drives.
Metamaterial uses light to control its motion
Researchers have designed a device that uses light to manipulate its mechanical properties. The device, which was fabricated using a plasmomechanical metamaterial, operates through a unique mechanism that couples its optical and mechanical resonances, enabling it to oscillate indefinitely using energy absorbed from light.This work demonstrates a metamaterial-based approach to develop an optically-driven mechanical oscillator.
