Helping the microchip industry go with the flow
A new study by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has uncovered a source of error in an industry-standard calibration method that could lead microchip manufacturers to lose a million dollars or more in a single fabrication run. The problem is expected to become progressively more acute as chipmakers pack ever more features into ever smaller space.
RF power products centre stage at EuMW 2018
RF power products, as well as technical expertise in high-power RF design will be presented by Ampleon at European Microwave Week in Madrid (September 25-27). The company will support the popular Student School during the event by providing a platform to share innovation in the field of high-power semiconductors using Ampleon devices.
DC/DC converters with 400W to be showcased at InnoTrans 2018
For years, MTM Power's series PCMD400 has been a well-proven converter series, especially designed for applications in vehicle and railway technology as well as in rugged industrial markets. With a complete redesign of this series MTM Powerprovides for the frist time– with the new PCMDS400 series – converters using state-of-the-art technology, which at the same time fulfil all applicable standards for the different applications in Ber...
Considerations when comparing SiC and GaN in power applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technologies are promising great things for the future. SiC devices in a cascode configuration enable existing systems to be easily upgraded to get the benefits of wide band-gap devices right now. By: Anup Bhalla, VP Engineering, UnitedSic.
Memory enables scalability of embedded solutions for microcontrollers
Innovative non-volatile memory solutions, such as the embedded memories for microcontrollers and Systems on a Chip (SoC), developed by Ferroelectric Memory (FMC), must satisfy increasingly demanding requirements in terms of scalability, number of write cycles and duration of data retention even in extreme environmental conditions.
Meeting customer demand despite severe worldwide capacitor shortage
Distributors continue to help cushion customers from the effects of components shortages, though there are signs of a softening market.Addressing analysts on a call hosted by seeking alpha.com, Arrow Electronics CEO Michael Long indicated that while it’s global components business leading indicators remained healthy and its backlog continued to grow at robust rate, the rate of sequential year-over-year growth moderated.
AF transistor replaces obsolete part
The NPN Silicon AF Transistor BC817K from Diotec in a SOT-23 package, now available from Rutronik, is an equivalent substitute for the obsolete BC817K from Infineon. With a power dissipation of 500mW, a high collector current of 500mA, a peak collector current of up to 1A as well as a high current gain between 100 (BC817K-16) and 630 (BC817K-40), measured at 100mA.
First Gen9HV transistor for UHF broadcast applications
Ampleon has announced the introduction of its BLF989 RF power transistor designed for UHF broadcast applications such as DVBT and UHF analog TV. Using Ampleon’s latest Gen9HV high voltage LDMOS process, this 140W (average – 700W peak) transistor, the first broadcast device to use this process technology, offers a high operating efficiency of typically > 34% (Class AB) and is available in a ceramic SOT539 package format either with ...
FMC receives growth financing from eCAPITAL and HTGF
Ferroelectric Memory Company (FMC) hasannounced the successful closing of a €4.6m growth financing led by eCAPITAL entrepreneurial Partners AG under participation of High-Tech Gründerfonds. The funds will enable the company with base in Dresden to expand its team, accelerate the further development of their solutions and conquer a significant market share by replacing the current standard technology.
Analogue output IC photocoupler for automotive applications
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the launch of a new analogue output IC photocoupler that enables high-speed communications in automotive applications – especially electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).The TLX9309 consists of a high-output GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) that is optically coupled to a high-speed detector. The detector consists of a photodiode and a transistor integrated onto a single chip.
