Addressing the challenges of e-bike design
Compared to traditional bicycle, e-bikes are significantly more expensive and consumers are looking for touchscreen interfaces and convenience, says Sven Hegner, chief engineer, Toshiba Electronics Europe
From art to science – the development of the PCB
Let's start from the begining, the earliestPCBs were very much works of art.Etched by hand, they owed more to technology from artwork reproduction than to high tech.To create these circuits copper-clad boards were used. The artwork was hand-drawn, and once the track layout was defined, it was printed onto the board as an etch-resist mask. Acid was next used to etch away the exposed copper before another chemical removed the etch resist.
Monitor protects workers from EMF/RF emissions
Anyone working in or nearhigh intensity electromagnetic fields (EMF), such as radar antennas, broadcast transmitters, or cellular base stations, must be able to control their exposure from EMF/RF Radiation emitted from these RF transmitters. The best way to control exposure from potentially dangerous RF Radiation is a wearable RF monitor or Personal safety equipment (PSE) which produces a warning when critical EMF/RF values are close to or have e...
NI Week: Wireless devices end manual data collection.
Wireless monitoring hardware has been announced for NI’s InsightCM, a solution for online condition monitoring with full access to data and customisation with the InsightCM Software Development Kit. The new wireless devices automate the otherwise manual process of route-based data collection.
Paving the way for power management
As our world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the demand for power will only continue to increase. Following a vibrant APEC 2019, held in California in March, Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush caught up with Anoop Chadaga, Product Marketing Manager, Texas Instruments, to find out what the company’s focus was at the show.
AC/DC linear regulator achieves huge increase in efficiency
The broad portfolio of over 500 linear regulators has been expanded by Texas Instruments (TI), by introducing a first-of-its-kind smart AC/DC linear regulator. With 75% higher efficiency and two times the power density of other linear regulators, this device achieves balance between high efficiency and ultra-low noise while shrinking power-supply size.
TMR sensor meets AEC-Q100 qualifications
The first magnetic sensors from Infineon Technologies based on tunnel magneto resistance (TMR) technology are in stock at Mouser Electronics. The TLE5501 sensors are ideal for automotive brushless DC (BLDC) motor commutation in devices such as wipers, pumps, and actuators, as well as for steering angle sensing and integration in electric motors.
Automotive grade current sensor IC improves safety
Allegro MicroSystems has announced a new family of automotive AEC-Q100 qualified, monolithic Hall effect current sensor ICs. Small and energy efficient, the ACS71240 family is suitable for electric vehicle chargers, DC/DC converters, as well as industrial motor and IOT applications.
Antennas deliver performance across worldwide frequency bands
A new range of low profile SMT automotive antennas from AVX/Ethertronics, providing RF performance and global coverage are now available from TTI. The antennas support different worldwide frequency bands and high performance, yet occupy minimal PCB real estate.
Industrial ecosystems vie to lead Industry 4.0
A recent research study estimates global sales of robotic end of arm tools (EOAT) to surpass $2,000m in 2019, up from $1,900.3m in 2018. This growth in sales can be attributed to the ever-evolving demand of industrial ecosystems for high productivity via industrial robotics.
