Women of STEM – Top 20
Over the last few years we have used up a lot of column inches in order to highlight the burgeoning skills gap within engineering and STEM-based careers, and in particular the discrepancy in the gender balance of individuals choosing that particular pathway.
Rugged micropower magnetic sensor ICs maximise battery life
Allegro MicroSystems has announced the release of a family of Micropower Hall-effect switch ICs- the APS11700 and APS11760, designed specifically for battery powered applications in harsh industrial and automotive environments. Automatic power management enables average supply current as low as 6µA while operating directly from a vehicle battery or other unregulated supply.
Duo develop STT-MRAM testing module
A collaboration between Advantest and Tohoku University’s Center for Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems (pictured), led by Tetsuo Endoh has successfully developed a high-speed, high-precision module that can measure the switching currents in the memory arrays of spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) in units of microamperes and nanoseconds, using an Advantest memory test system.
EuMW 2018: 65V LDMOS transistor opens up RF power options
RF power transistors designed for smart industrial applications, featuring ground-breaking 65V laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) silicon technology were unveiled by NXP Semiconductors at European Microwave Week in Madrid.
High-power µModule regulator eases cooling requirements
The suite of Power by Linear µModule regulators from Analog Devices, (ADI), has been expanded with the LTM4700 step-down DC/DC power regulator, which combines the highest power in its class with the energy efficient performance needed to reduce data centre infrastructure cooling requirements.
Power transistor delivers efficiency of better than 62%
