Single chip 76-to-81GHz mmWave sensor
The IWR1642BOOST from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the IWR1642 mmWave sensor, with direct connectivity to the microcontroller (MCU) LaunchPad Development Kit. The BoosterPack contains everything required to start developing software for on-chip C67x DSP core and low-power ARM R4F controllers.
Automotive single channel LED driver
With LEDs being widely used in automotive applications, simple LED drivers are more and more popular. Compared to discrete solutions, a low-cost monolithic solution lowers system level component counts and significantly improves current accuracy and reliability.
Growing the CO2 refrigerant market with low power sensors
Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS) has announced that it is targeting the growing market of CO2refrigeration systems with its CO2sensors.A century ago, CO2was commonly used as a refrigerant, but had practically disappeared by the 1950s with the use of other gases such as HVFC, CFC and HFC. The air conditioning and refrigeration industry has now been urged to move to more 'natural' refrigerants like CO2, with the onset of huge price increases for traditi...
UV curing expertise to be showcased at FAST Live
Intertronics is exhibiting at the Fastening & Assembly Solutions and Technology (FAST) Live exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. At the show Peter Swanson, managing director of Intertronics, will partake in the show’s technical seminar by presenting a talk; Adhesives: the pros and cons of UV light curing using LEDs. The company will also launch its latest handheld LED UV curing spot lamp, the IUV101.
Battery fuel gauge ICs deliver low operating current
Designers of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery powered mobile and portable devices products can improve the end user experience by extending run-time and delivering accurate battery state-of-charge (SOC) data with the MAX17262 single-cell and MAX17263 single-/multi-cell fuel-gauge ICs from Maxim Integrated Products.
Complete package for initial tests and test series
LASER COMPONENTS has announced a plug & play solution for quick and replicable tests and test series for several LEDs in the ultraviolet spectrum. The AMPYR Evaluation Kit LED30UV contains an LED carrier with a heat sink, an AMPYR LED30W LED driver with an integrated heat sink, a plug-in power supply unit, and a six-pole cable for connecting the driver and carrier unit.

Melexis joins a number of existing members including Inova Semiconductors, Dominant Opto Technologies, Lucie Labs, OLSA Group, NXP, TE Connectivity, Pforzheim University and Valeo.
Development kit kick starts IoT-sensing projects
A Cloud-enabled development kit that kick-starts IoT-sensing projects by allowing users to collect and analyse data on a dashboard within minutes after unboxing has been released by RS Components. The UrsaLeo UL-NXP1S2R2 kit contains a Silicon Labs Thunderboard 2 sensor module, ready to connect to UrsaLeo’s services platform in the Google Cloud.
LED emitter boasts spot diameter of 7mm
A compact, infrared LED emitter with the industry’s largest spot diameter of 7mm for super-reliable optical sensing and position encoder applications has been released by TT Electronics. With up to 10mW total radiated power at the maximum drive current of 100mA, and 2.25° angle of half intensity, the OP207CL couples optical flux extremely efficiently onto the receiving photo-sensor to ensure clearly detectable on/off transitions.
