Those compression standards include H.264, VP8, VP9, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and VP8, and the computer’s multiple display options including HDMI and a DisplayPort interface on its USB Type-C connector, with up to 4K video resolution. Inside the box is Seco’s Solon motherboard (also called SBC-C31), and the single board computer’s connectivity options include: 2x Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0, 2 x RS-232 or RS-485 on ...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has created a 5A electronic fuse IC for sub-power rails in servers. On-resistance is typically 20mΩ. Dubbed AOZ18101DI, they come in 3 x 3mm DFN system-in-packages containing a control IC and back-to-back trench mosfets. The internal mosfets are n-channel, biased using a built-in charge pump. “The eFuse continuously monitors the current flowing through the power switch,” said ...

Staffordshire industrial computer supplier Impulse Embedded is offering one accelerated by the Hailo-8 edge AI processor, delivering up to 26Top/s (int-8). It is RSC100, which is built around an un-named octa-core Arm processor backed by 4Gbyte of LPDDR4, 16Gbyte of eMMC storage and an M.2 2280 M-key SSD slot with PCIe x4 NVMe support, as well as a MicroSD card slot. ...

VicControl Go Stamp is a 4mm high module that adds local voice control to products. “Unlike Amazon Alexa or Google Home, the voice control takes place without an internet connection,” according to VoiceInterConnect, the German company responsible for the board. “Therefore, your speech data remains protected and are not stored on central servers. Voice control in private homes, simple building ...

Vishay has introduced two n-channel TrenchFET mosfets for telecom and industrial applications. 60V SiJH600E and 80V SiJH800E operate up to +175°C and come in the company’s ~8 x 8mm PowerPak 8x8L package, which has no-bondwire construction for board-level reliability and gullwing leads for mechanical stress relief. On-resistances are typically 0.65mΩ and 1.22mΩ respectively at 10 V. Vishay claims these to be 54% and ...

Binder is adding to its 818 product series with connectors using D-coding in the M8 form factor, for space-saving miniaturised sensors in Ethernet applications. With a third less space required than for M12, the 4-pin connectors enable the network connection of small actuators and sensors with data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s. Industrial Specifically, they are aimed at Industrial ...

Diodes has introduced a driver for high-side and low-side mosfet gates in half-bridges up to 100V. Called DGD0579U, it is aimed at cordless power tools, e-bikes and autonomous robot appliances. “Mosfet protection mechanisms are integrated into the device, improving system reliability and optimizing board space,” according to the company. “These include cross-conduction prevention, so that the high-side and low-side mosfets are ...

Silicon Labs has introduced a wireless microcontroller with a hardware AI accelerator that can work with Matter, Zigbee, OpenThread, Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth mesh. It comes along with a software tool kit for machine learning. Called EFR32MG24, “this new hardware and software platform will help bring AI and ML applications and wireless to battery-powered edge devices,” according to the company. ...

Recom has created a range of unregulated dc-dc converters designed to provide voltages tuned for GaN, SiC or silicon gate driving. Called the RA3 series, they are 23.4 x 15 x 8.5mm LGA surface-mount parts offering one of five output combinations: +7 and -1V +15 and -3V +20 and -5V single +8V single +9V “These values cover the requirements of IGBTs, silicon ...

U-blox has announced two LTE Cat 1 module series offering multi-regional data coverage. “The modules offer device makers facing imminent 2G and 3G network sunsets a migration path to 4G technology for data streaming applications,” according to the Swiss company. “Additionally they offer MQTT Anywhere and MQTT Flex connectivity via u-blox’s Thingstream platform out of the box, enabling seamless roaming.” ...
