SICK opens up Industry 4.0 with its first IO-Link encoder
With the launch of the SICK AHS36 (singleturn) and AHM36 (multiturn) IO-Link absolute encoders, SICK has opened up wide-ranging new possibilities to integrate rotary motion sensing into the ‘smart’ sensor configurations of automated machinery.The SICK AHS36 and AHM36 36mm IO-Link encoders are SICK’s first range of absolute encoders with IO-Link.
Power-supply transformers complement gate-driver IC family
Specialist in gate-driver technology for medium- and high-voltage inverter applications, Power Integrations, has announced a range of galvanically isolated transformers that provide the correct voltage and power for the company’s SCALE-iDriver family of gate drivers. The combination delivers a simple, robust and cost-efficient DC/DC converter solution that does not require additional voltage regulation, reducing system cost and development ...
Array of power talent set for APEC 2019 in Anaheim
Power IC, passive component, diode, and MOSFET technologies for a wide range of applications will all be showcased by Vishay Technology at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exhibition (APEC) in Anaheim (March 17-21). Vishay Siliconix power ICs on display at APEC 2019 will include the SiC9xx microBRICK family of high efficiency DC/DC buck regulators.
Acquisition to extend silicon carbide ecosystem
Global semiconductor provider, STMicroelectronics, has announced it has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Swedish silicon carbide (SiC) wafer manufacturer Norstel. After closing, ST will control the entire supply chain for a portion of its SiC devices at a time of constrained global capacity and positions itseIf for a significant growth opportunity.
MOSFET power modules for energy storage applications
Addressing the fast growing demand for Silicon Carbide (SiC) solutions, Infineon Technologies launches new devices in the 1200V CoolSiC MOSFET family. The CoolSiC Easy 2B power modules enable engineers to reduce system costs by increasing power density. In addition, they can also reportedly lower operational costs significantly.
High-voltage galvanic isolation technology
Analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, X-FAB Silicon Foundries, has announced the full volume production release of its new high temperature galvanic isolation semiconductor process. This proprietary technology is fully automotive qualified, and offers greater reliability levels compared to options offered by the competition.
NAV-LOC localisation sets AGVs free from reflectors
SICK has set Automated Guided Vehicles free from the need for reflectors or other physical markers with the all-in-one NAV-LOC localisation solution, enabling them to navigate more reliably and efficiently around shop floor and warehouse environments. The SICK NAV-LOC (Localisation On Contour) is an easy-to-set up solution based on a SICK NAV 360o LiDAR scanner that can be integrated into new or existing AGVs.
Latest solutions for smart driving displayed at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD
STMicroelectronics displayed its latest semiconductor solutions for smart driving at the 11thedition of the AUTOMOTIVE WORLD show in Tokyo, Japan. Building upon its broad range of automotive semiconductors, ST exhibited solutions that accelerate car digitalisation and electrification in autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and power control for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV).
Driving forward the vehicles of tomorrow
Electronic systems constituted as little as one percent of the total value in the cars of the past. Now, increased technological capabilities and consumer demand for more technology in vehicles have caused a surge in the number of electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle. A highly engineered automobile may contain as many as 100 ECUs and up to 100 million lines of code - a far cry of the vehicles of the past and a testament to how important E...
