Power analysis to accelerate robust SoC design
It has been announced by Synopsys that they are introducing PrimePower, an expanded power analysis solution created to accelerate system-on-chip (SoC) design closure by extending signoff power analysis to drive early design implementation and accurate reliability analysis.
Molecular clock could improve smartphone navigation
MIT researchers have developed the first molecular clock on a chip, which uses the constant, measurable rotation of molecules — when exposed to a certain frequency of electromagnetic radiation — to keep time. The chip could one day significantly improve the accuracy and performance of navigation on smartphones and other consumer devices.Today’s most accurate time-keepers are atomic clocks.
Amplifiers enable accuracy in error-sensitive industrial applications
Texas Instruments has introduced three new amplifiers with a combination of high speed and high precision, allowing designers to create more accurate circuits for error-sensitive applications. The new devices support more precise measurement and faster processing of a wide variety of input signals in test and measurement, medical, and data-acquisition systems.
Production milestone for radio frequency switches
Ten year ago, in 2008, Infineon Technologies AG started the volume production of its first bulk-CMOS radio frequency (RF) switch. Now, in the dawn of the 5G era, Infineon’s well-engineered portfolio and products have received an unprecedented welcome from innovators in wireless markets across the world
Platform integrates high performance 0.1um GaAs pHEMT
WIN Semiconductors has expanded its portfolio of highly integrated GaAs technologies with the release of a pHEMT technology. The PIH0-03 platform incorporates monolithic PIN and vertical Schottky diodes with WIN’s high performance 0.1um pseudomorphic HEMT process, PP10. This integrated technology, PIH0-03, adds a highly linear vertical Schottky diode with cut-off frequency over 600GHz, as well as multi-function PIN diodes while preserving t...
0.45um GaN power process for 5G applications
To support current and future 5G applications, WIN Semiconductors has expanded its gallium nitride (GaN) process capabilities to include a 0.45um-gate technology. The NP45-11 GaN-on-SiC process from WIN Semiconductors allows customers to design hybrid Doherty power amplifiers used in 5G applications including MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) wireless antenna systems. MIMO base stations often combine Doherty power amplifiers with linearis...
GaN promises to revamp consumer design
At PCIM 2018, Exagan highlighted its G-FET power transistors and G-Drive intelligent switches, which integrate a drive and transistor in a single package.
Buck converter evaluation board cuts time to market
An evaluation board developed by GaN Systems and pSemi is available with full design support at distributor Richardson RFPD. The GS61008P-EVBHF 100 V buck converter evaluation board allows the user to evaluate GaN Systems’ 100 V GS61008P E-Mode GaN transistor with the pSemi PE29101 gate driver in a half-bridge configuration.
Automotive is driving SiC adoption
The SiC power market is now on the road, according to Yole Développement (Yole). Since 2017, the market research and strategy consulting company identified more than 20 strategic announcements, showing the dynamism of this market and attractiveness of the technology.
Artificial sensory nerve made of flexible organic electronics
Stanford and Seoul National University researchers have developed an artificial sensory nerve system that can activate the twitch reflex in a cockroach and identify letters in the Braille alphabet. The work, reported inScience, is a step toward creating artificial skin for prosthetic limbs, to restore sensation to amputees and, perhaps, one day give robots some type of reflex capability.
