Electronica: ASIL D vehicle battery safety monitor and pyrotechnic trigger
NXP is aiming at ASIL D safety approval with a vehicle battery junction box controller IC, intended to fire the pyrotechnic disconnect switch during a serious fault, as well as report faults over a serial bus. MC33777A, as it will be known, redundantly measures currents, voltages and temperatures, then deduces situations – a short circuit or a crash, for example ...
5V CO2 sensor uses photoacoustic spectroscopy
Infineon has announced a 5V version of its compact (13.8 x 14 x 7.5mm) CO2 sensor. “The sensor is based on the photoacoustic spectroscopy principle, where CO2 molecules within the sensor cavity absorb infrared light, generating small pressure changes that are detected by an acoustic detector,” according to the company. “CO2 concentration is then delivered in the form of ...
1MHz 80-800A core-less current sensors in TSSOP and SOIC
Allegro MicroSystems had introduced 1MHz bandwidth current sensors that can measure hundreds of amps – the first fruit of its acquisition of Crocus Technologies. The technology is tunneling magnetoresistance, and the sensors are intended to sit over the current-carrying PCB track to be measured. Output is a voltage linearly proportional to the current, responding within 300ns. There are two base ...
LDO regulator for audio
Nisshinbo Micro Devices has launched the MUSES100 series – low-noise, LDO voltage regulator targeted at home audio, professional audio, and portable audio equipment. The MUSES100 series is a CMOS-based LDO regulator that operates with an input voltage range from2.5V to 5.5V, delivering an output voltage range from 1.2V to 5.0V and supporting an output currentof up to 600mA. The series ...
Samtec cable connector systems for JTAG applications
Samtec is releasing a variety of board-level and cable connector systems for JTAG applications, which are currently shipping in volume quantities, says the interconnect manufacturer. The Samtec JTAG connectors are available on 2.54 mm and 1.27 mm centerlines. Common sizes are 10 pin (2 x 5), 14 pin (2 x 7), and 20 pin (2 x 10). JTAG connectors are ...
Alternatives for IGBTs
BEC Distribution has announced the availability of high-quality Alternatives for STMicroelectronics and onsemi IGBT Transistors. They are available on a 4-6 weeks lead time with free samples provided on request. BEC’s Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) provide maximum reliability combined with high-voltage, high-current characteristics. They feature a low saturation voltage and a high current capability combined with controlled junction temperatures ...
Google begins roll out of Android 15, available at AOSP
Google has begun the process of rolling out Android 15, the latest version of its mobile operating system, beginning with Pixel devices. Specifically, the company has released the Android 15 source code and made it available at the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). While the latest major release will be available on supported Pixel devices in “coming weeks”, access will ...
SiC half-bridge handles 1.8MW in under 500ns
Aiming at vehicle traction, Infineon has put a pair of 3,300V 1,000A 1.9 mΩ silicon carbide trench mosfets into its 100 x 140 x 40mm ‘XHP 2’ module housing, calling the module FF2000UXTR33T2M1. This package is rated for 6kV testing, and achieves 2.6kV partial discharge extinction. Creepage is 40mm terminal to baseplate and 34mm between terminals. Clearance is 31 and ...
Google rebrands TensorFlow Lite to LiteRT
Google is rebranding TensorFlow Lite to LiteRT (as in “lite runtime”). This lets you deploy ML and AI models on Android, iOS, and embedded devices. Basically, for on-device AI at the Edge. Google writes about the name change for the runtime that supports models other than those solely authored with TensorFlow: “Since its debut in 2017, TFLite has enabled developers ...
