Colour camera enables colorimetric effects on fast moving objects
A new colour version ofSpecialised Imaging's SIR3 camera has been introduced.Capable of capturing up to 11-million-pixel (4,008x2,688) resolution images in 36-bit colour across a wide dynamic range, the SIR3 colour camera enables colorimetric effects on fast moving objects to be recorded clearly for the first time.
SoC memory improvements highlighted at IEDM 2017
A research institute of CEA Tech,Leti, demonstrated significant improvements in the field of memory systems at IEDM 2017. Theseimprovements included reconfiguring Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) into Content-Addressable Memory (CAM), improving non-volatile crossbar memories and using advanced Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFET).
Low-power eFlash block optimised for IoT devices
Two new Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) IP solutions have been announced by X-FAB - a low power embedded Flash (eFlash) IP block and a NVRAM compiler. Both are based on the company’s proprietary 180nm XH018 mixed-signal CMOS technology and are targeted at applications requiring high reliability and field re-programmability while operating at low power and in harsh environments.
Automotive grade regulators allow 60V battery transients
The ZXTR2105FQ, ZXTR2108FQ and ZXTR2112FQ regulator transistors announced by Diodes Incorporated are qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for high reliability and are product part approval process (PPAP)-capable. Designed to deliver 5, 8, or 12V regulated outputs from nominal battery supplies of 12 or 24V, these regulator transistors are well-suited for powering vehicle electronics.
'Living tattoo': 3D printing programmed cells into devices
MIT engineers have devised a 3Dprinting technique that uses a new kind of ink made from genetically programmed living cells.The cells are engineered to light up in response to a variety of stimuli. When mixed with a slurry of hydrogel and nutrients, the cells can be printed, layer by layer, to form 3D, interactive structures and devices.The team has then demonstrated its technique by printing a “living tattoo” — a thin, transpar...
Evaluation kit contains power transistors and transistor drivers
GaN Systems has announced the availability of a new evaluation board using what is supposedly the world’s fastest combination of GaN power transistors and power drivers. Combining what the company claims to be best-in-class GaN transistors with the fastest commercially available GaN transistor driver on the GS61004B evaluation board, the GS61004B-EVBDC evaluation platform is now available with the latest in high-speed GaN E-HEMT drivers fro...
Renesas achieves large-scale memory operation
Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions,Renesas Electronics, has announced that it has successfully confirmed large-scale memory operation in a split-gate metal-oxide nitride oxide silicon (SG-MONOS) process using fin-shaped 3D transistors for use in microcontrollers (MCUs) with on-chip flash memory having a circuit linewidth of 16 to 14nm or finer.
500W GaN-on-Si power transistor showcased at EuMW
The newest entry in its GaN-on-Si power transistor portfolio for pulsed L-Band radar systems targeted for airport surveillance radar (ASR) applications at 1.2 to 1.4 GHz has been released by MACOM Technology Solutions. The MAGX-101214-500 delivers efficiency at peak pulse power levels up to 500W and it is expected to outperform premium-priced GaN-on-SiC-based transistors, and exceed the performance, efficiency and power density of legacy LDMOS-ba...
R-Car D3 SoC expands 3D graphics cluster market
Renesas Electronics has announced its high-performance R-Car D3 automotive infotainment system SoC, designed to expand the use of 3D graphics instrument clusters (3D clusters) that support 3D graphics displays in entry-class cars. The R-Car D3 achieves both high-performance graphic capabilities and contributes to significant reduction in overall system development cost.
Liquid metal discovery leads to latest wave of electronics
RMIT researchers have used liquid metal to create two-dimensional materials no thicker than a few atoms that have never before been seen in nature.The breakthrough will not only revolutionise the way we do chemistry but could be applied to enhance data storage and make faster electronics. The discovery has been published inScience.The researchers dissolve metals in liquid metal to create very thin oxide layers, which previously did not exist as l...
