A strategic relationship has been announced betweenON Semiconductor and Audi following its selection to become part of the German car maker’s Progressive SemiConductor Programme (PSCP). The goal of the interdisciplinary semiconductor strategy is to foster innovation along with quality and make the latest technologies available for Audi models early on - satisfying the rapidly changing and developing expectations of customers in terms of per...

A stainless steel version of its fully-programmable DFS60 incremental encoders and AFM60 and AFS60 absolute encoders has been launched by SICK, making them available for duties in hygienic and corrosive environments for the first time. The SICK DFS60 Inox, the AFM60 Inox and the AFS60 Inox programmable encoders feature a rugged stainless steel housing, flange and shaft.

How would your next power electronics application benefit from higher efficiency, greater robustness,and reduced need for thermal management? With negligible reverse recovery, the new LSIC2SD120Series of SiC Schottky Diodes reduces switching losses dramatically to boost system efficiency.They also support large surge currents and have a high maximum junction temperature of 175°C.

Global mobile device management company, Sicap Schweiz AG has furthered its expansion into Africa by partnering with Vodacom Lesotho, the leading mobile service provider in this Southern African country.Vodacom Lesotho has adopted Sicap’s cloud-based Device Management Centre (DMC) and combined it with the context-aware customer insight and engagement automation solution TargetMe, which is replacing its legacy device management system.

After three decades of hopes tempered by setbacks, gene therapy—the process of treating a disease by modifying a person’s DNA—is no longer the future of medicine, but is part of the present-day clinical treatment toolkit. The journalScienceprovides an in-depth and timely review of the key developments that have led to several successful gene therapy treatments for patients with serious medical conditions.

Sick babies in remote parts of the world could be monitored from afar thanks to new wearable technology designed by physicists at the University of Sussex. And parents at home, concerned about the risk of cot death, could keep track of their new babies' heart and breathing rates with automatic updates to their smart phones, using 'fitness tracker'-style technology built into baby sleep suits.

A universal half-bridge reference design has been announced by RECOM. It is a platform design that can be used to compare the real life performance of various high power IGBT, 1st/2nd generation SiC, GaN, MOSFET and Cascode switching technologies. As the gate driver and PCB layout is the same for every transistor type, users will be able to compare and contrast their real life switching performance and make informed choices about the right techno...

Analysts at IDTechEx have appraised the technology and potential commercialisation of triboelectrics, which is a new form of energy harvesting based on similar materials and think there is potential for partnerships.There has been considerable progress with self-healing polymers just lately, with the researchers dreaming of use in regular tires and phones.

New standards have been set with SICK’s use of multiple light beams to safeguard the area surrounding hazardous machinery with the launch of the deTem Core family of safety light curtains for applications up to SIL3 / PL ‘e’ (Type 4).The deTem2 Core and deTem4 Core multi-beam range complement SICK’s popular deTec4 and deTec2 light curtain range. The deTem’s long range and space-saving capability enable the safety dis...

Engineers working with silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs can overcome design challenges and increase system reliability with the latest DC/DC converters from Dengrove Electronic Components, which are designed specifically for powering high-slew-rate gate drivers.
