Automotive thin film chip resistor family extended
Now available in 0402 and 1206 case sizes, the PATT precision automotive thin film chip resistor family has been extended by Vishay Intertechnology. The devices are offered with gold-plated terminals for conventional solder assembly and conductive glueable board mount technologies, as well as high-temperature operation to +155°C with 100% power dissipation, derated linearly to +250°C.
Increasing sophistication in displays & touchscreens
Steve Rogerson explores the increasing sophistication in displays and touchscreens, and looks at how the industry is managing the demand for such technology in even basic products.
Quantum dots enable spray-on wide-spectrum PV cells
Load bearing structures that are also electronic or electrical are called structural electronics. This two-for-one approach can be more reliable, attractive and long-lived and saves space. With a vehicle, saving weight also reaps dividends, such as when devices and circuits are applied experimentally to an electric car or plane that travels much further on a single charge as a consequence.
GaN to become core technology in power electronics
According to GaN Systems, GaN will become the core technology in power electronics within the next three years. Founded seven years ago, GaN Systems has developed a wide range range of GaN, high power transistors based on its Island Technology design.
Source measure unit extends applications reach
Keithley Instruments has added to its benchtop SMU instrumentation range with a capacitive touchscreen graphical user interface (GUI). It has launched the Model 2460 SourceMeter which offers users higher power sourcing (up to 105V, 7A DC/7A pulse, 100W max.) with 0.012% basic measurement accuracy and 6½-digit resolution, making it ideal for high power, high precision I-V characterisation of modern materials and high power devices.
Resistance range extended on automotive chip resistors
Vishay Intertechnology has enhanced its PAT series of AEC-Q200-qualified precision automotive thin film chip resistors with an extended resistance range from 2.5 Ω to 3 MΩ. Designed to meet automotive industry requirements for temperature and humidity while offering consistent repeatability and stable performance, the Vishay Dale Thin Film devices feature a low standard TCR of ± 25 ppm/°C and laser-trimmed tolerances down t...
Whitepaper explores 25W X-band GaN PA MMIC design
Plextek RFI has published a whitepaper on the design of a 25W X-band Gallium Nitride (GaN) PA MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit). This case study describes the design and performance of a 25W X-band GaN PA MMIC designed on WIN Semiconductor's 0.25μm GaN on SiC process.
IDT Announces New Internally Matched Broadband RF VGA with Ultra-High Linearity
