Microchip has announced its first 64bit processors, picking the RISC-V instruction set for the initial parts: an octa-core for space and a industrial quad-core. Although, “future PIC64 families will include devices based on RISC-V or Arm architectures”, said the company. PIC64-HPSC is the family name of the space processors, which have come out of a 2022 deal with NASA to ...
Würth Elektronik has created a range of opto-isilated triacs for controlling light AC loads and larger triacs. They are called WL-OCTR, and come in a choice of packages: through hole DIP-4 or DIP-6, or surface-mount SOP-4. Through-hole parts offer 5kV breakdown between input and output, which drops to 3.75kC for surface mount. DIP parts can also be supplied with legs ...
Vishay has introduced a series of surface-mount solid moulded tantalum chip capacitors specifically for electronic detonation systems “combining a robust mechanical design with low leakage current and stringent testing specifications”, according to the company. “Each part is 100% surge current tested using standard screening methods, and undergoes two additional screenings for key electrical characteristics to eliminate lot-to-lot variations.” Called TX3, ...
The connected world and Industry 4.0 have undoubtedly improved our lives, but they have also come with a substantial price, says Emma Armstrong. The impact of technology on our lives in modern society cannot be denied. The emergence of industry 4.0, the automation of manufacturing, has undoubtedly improved our lives, but it also comes with a substantial price. The main ...
Recom has announced a series of 140W single-output ac-dc mains power supplies that can handle 210W for ten seconds. The RACM140E-K series offers a choice of 12, 15, 24, 36 (136.8W rated) or 48Vdc depending on model. The input range is 80-264Vac and they measure 147 x 81.5mm – either 38mm tall for the open frame versions or 40mm enclosed ...
Aaeon is aiming at in-vehicle surveillance systems for busses and law-enforcement with a PC built around Nvidia’s Jetson Orin NX artificial intelligence processor and equipped with eight power-over-Ethernet ports. Called Boxer-8658AI, there are two versions: one with a hex-core Cortex-A78AE v8.2 64bit CPU and 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 memory, and the other with 16Gbyte and an octa-core processor. “For in-vehicle or ...
Teknic has added an EtherCAT interface to some of its brushless servo motor models, creating the ClearPath-EC range. These come in frame sizes from NEMA 23 to 34 and powers from 38 to 429W, and the motors are sealed to IP66K or IP67 which enables them to be washed down. All feature an internal position encoder, and are programmable via ...
TDK is aiming at automotive and industrial 360° magnetic angle sensing in high-reliability systems with a tunnel-magnetoresistance (TMR) IC. TAS8240 is designed to operate next to a rotating magnet and contains four pairs of TMR half bridges (four Wheatstone bridges) to provide four separated sine-cosine outputs. “Depending on system architectures, fail-operational concepts can be supported by the new sensor,” according ...
Puls has announced three 240 or 480W DIN rail ac-dc dc-dc power supplies with an integrated EtherCAT interface for configuration, operation monitoring and remote control. Data over the bus includes voltage and current characteristics on the input and output sides, and direct connection to an EtherCAT controller is possible without intervening gateways. “Real-time data transmission makes possible the monitoring, logging ...
Micronas had created a pair of automotive-rated Hall effect magnetic angle sensors that work up to 150,000rpm. “Developers have the choice between two sensor models – HAL 3020 and HAL 3021 – for fast angle determination, with which they can meet the need for robust motor position detection and ISO 26262-compliant development. The components have differential or single-ended sine and ...
