Power factor correction with CCM (continuous conduction mode) boost converters is where ITG Electronics is aiming its latest choke family. Specifically, the series is for converters operating at between 100 and 200kHz, and up to 3.3kW. There are four parts, from 90 to 285uH, all with a 43 x 35mm footprint and standing 38mm above the PCB. They can operate ...

Farnell offers Raspberry Pi Pico 2
Farnell is now offering the tiny, fast, and versatile Raspberry Pi Pico 2 which retains the footprint of the original Pico, while benefiting from the performance uplift delivered by the RP2350 microcontroller, designed by Raspberry Pi. When compared to its predecessor, the RP2040 microcontroller launched in 2021, RP2350 offers a 150MHz system clock (versus 133MHz); dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores (versus ...
Up to 20A or 500W from 1/16 brick dc-dc converter
TDK has added 20A 500W models to its i7A range of non-isolated 1/16 brick dc-dc buck converters. All of the 20A output models, called i7A48020A033V, can operate from inputs across 28 to 60V and deliver an adjustable 3.3 to 32V – output voltage range is restricted at some input voltages, and set by an external resistor. Efficiency is up to ...
Longest scope probe: 7 metres and 1.5GHz bandwidth
Tektronix has taken its TAP1500 1.5GHz active single-ended probe, and stretched its 1.3m cable to seven metres “with no loss in performance”, according to the company. TAP1500L is the name of the extended version. “Our customers can’t always have their oscilloscopes close to their device-under-test,” said Tektronix probe manager Andrew Mumford, “and the longer cable benefits customers who use flying ...
800V three phase motor drivers up to 20A or 4kW
Infineon is aiming to drive motors up to 4kW with a series of integrated three-phase IGBT motor drivers. There are three: IM12B10CC1 800V 10A 2.2kW IM12B15CC1 800V 15A 3kW IM12B20EC1 800V 20A 4kW Each comes in the same 36 x 23mm DIP package and includes six 1,200V IGBTs, six anti-parallel diodes, and a protected level-shifting gate driver compatible with logic-level ...
RP2350 available by year end, with flash-inclusive option
Raspberry Pi’s RP2350, its second-generation microcontroller, will be available by the end of the year in flash-less and flash-inclusive forms, in two packages: RP2350A QFN60 no flash $0.80 RP2350B QFN80 no flash $0.90 RP2354A QFN60 2Mbyte flash $1.00 RP2354B QFN80 2Mbyte flash $1.10 QFN60 types are 7 x 7mm and have 30 GPIOs, QFN80 types are 10 x 10mm and ...
New Raspberry Pi MCU – RP2350 – Risc-V, Arm and security
Raspberry Pi has announced its second microcontroller, the RP2350, adding two RISC-V cores alongside improved Arm cores, more ram, and security. Not initially available on its own (ETA pre-year-end), it will first ship as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 single-board microcontroller (right) – which is the same 21 x 51mm size as the original Pico, and priced from ...
Intel’s discrete GPU for vehicle cockpits
Intel has announced a discrete graphics processing unit, aimed at vehicles being shipped in 2025. ‘Arc Graphics for Automotive’, or A760A, has 28 of the company’s Xe GPU cores, 28 ray tracing units, 448 matrix engines (XMX) for AI and 448 vector engines. It will be software-compatible with the GPUs integrated into its software-defined-vehicle processors, and used as an add-on ...
Embedded inertial navigation system
HBK has launches what it describes as a “tactical-grade” embedded inertial navigation system in a 38 x 24 x 8.6mm 8.3g package – 18% thinner and 20% lighter than its earlier 3DMCV5. 3DM-CV7-INS, as it will be known, has 1.5°/hr gyro bias instability – which is where the tactical grade comment comes from, and is calibrated over its operating range ...
Pico-ITX board with i.MX8M Plus processor for quad Arm Cortex-A53 cores
Fortec UK is to distribute an Aaeon Pico-ITX board with a NXP i.MX8M Plus processor, which has quad 1.6GHz Arm Cortex-A53 cores. Called Pico-IMX8PL (PICOIMX8PL-A10-0001) and measuring 72 x 100mm, the “board delivers exceptional computing power and versatility in a remarkably compact form factor”, said Fortec. To this, the on-board machine learning accelerator adds 2.3 Top/s. Memory includes 2Gbyte of LPDDR4, ...
