Power transistor meets radar, avionics demands
Availability and full design support capabilities for the 1011GN-1200V power transistor from Microsemi has been announced by Richardson RFPD. The 1011GN-1200V is an internally-matched, common source, class AB, GaN on SiC HEMT capable of providing over 18.5dB gain, 1200W of pulsed RF output power at 32µs, and 2% duty cycle pulse format across the 1030 to 1090MHz band.
Biomonitor can accurately interpret your dog's needs
Sick or lost dogs cannot call for help, so a new biomonitor interprets their needs as SMS messages to owners. The TAIL collar-mounted device includes temperature and GPS sensors, which monitor health and activity.Having a dog in the family brings many pleasures. Yet the closeness also entails frustration and worry.

The importance of the UX in automotive innovation
Held at the World Conference Center in Bonn, Germany, the international VDI Congress ELIV (Electronics In Vehicles) defines new trends and establishes the main basis for decision making in the automotive industry. ELIV is the most significant networking event for professionals in automotive electronics. Daisy Stapley-Bunten reports.
DC/DC converters aid system reliability
Engineers working with silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs can overcome design challenges and increase system reliability with Dengrove Electronic Components’ DC/DC converters. These are designed specifically for powering high-slew-rate gate drivers. SiC MOSFETs are increasingly chosen for the inverters of wind-turbine or solar power-conditioning systems, or variable-speed motor drives in appliances and machine tools, to boost efficiency and reli...
SiC MOSFET provides ultra-fast switching at high temperatures
Circuit protection company,Littelfuse, has introduced its first series of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, the latest addition to the company’s growing power semiconductor line.The LSIC1MO120E0080 series, with a voltage rating of 1,200V and ultra-low (80mΩ) on-resistance, is the first organically designed, developed, and manufactured SiC MOSFETs to be released by this partnership.
Sensor Intelligence helps manage Smart Factories of the future
With Industry 4.0 on our door step and smart factories predicted to be the next big thing, SICK has got its head screwed on and is concentrating on intelligent and communicative sensors and sensor solutions for use in smart factories at this year’s SPS Drives show in Nuremberg.With years of experience under its belt, combined with intensive research and development work, SICK has a range of products and solutions that help to lay the founda...
Counting the cost of global healthcare
As Sui Shieh, VP, Industrial & Healthcare, Maxim Integrated, explains, technology is bringing the world of clinical monitoring and fitness monitoring closer together.The world is spending around $9tn a year on healthcare – to put that in perspective that’s ten percent of global GDP. This situation is even more acute in the US with estimates quoting that healthcare will account for around 20% of GDP within five years.
