Magnix has designed a range of batteries for electric aviation. The first product of the line, Samson300, is focussed on maximum energy density, according to the company, achieving 300Wh/kg. A cycle life of over 1,000 full-depth discharge cycles is claimed. “Patented safety technologies include cell level protections from thermal runaway and ability to store batteries for long periods at zero charge,” ...

Component distributor Richardson RFPD is stocking a 5 to 8GHz GaAs pHEMT low noise linear amplifier from Guerrilla RF, and has added it to its design support service. Measuring 1.5 x 1.5mm (DFN-6), GRF2110 is aimed at WiFi 6/6E, small cell and wireless infrastructure. It operates from 2.7 to 6V, drawing 70mA at 5V. Power is applied to the output ...

XP Power has introduced a range PCB-mount PSUs that will run from 85 to 528Vac. There are 5W (EHL05) and 20W (EHL20) types, all single output, with 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 24 or 48Vdc outputs depending on version. There is a choice of open-frame or encapsulated (see photo) packaging, and efficiency is typically between 82 and 88% – 3.3V ...

Nature provides the model for integrating sensors for a distributed edge AI system, say Bartosz Boryna and Zuzana Jirankova. The horseshoe crab (limulus polyphemus) is recognised by scientists as an interesting model for vision research because the animal’s body is large enough to study and its retina neurons are quite easily accessible. The crab has several compound eyes distributed over ...

Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced ten AEC-Q101-qualified small-signal mosfets. There are seven n-channel parts (including two duals), and three p-channel parts (one dual) in the ‘TQM’ line – see the table below. Three packages are used: SOT-236, SOT-363 or SOT-323, and they are rated for >2kV ESD withstanding. “In addition to automotive applications, these small-footprint MOSFETs are ideal for high-reliability commercial designs ...

Snap-off development boards are not a new idea, but they are new at Mikroe, where the idea has been combined with the company’s Click format to form Click Snap. “Users can develop their systems in the usual way using peripheral and development boards equipped with the mikroBUS socket,” said the company. “When the concept has been proven and code developed, ...

The Synergy of Infineon’s Power CoolMOS, CoolGaN, and CoolSiC Series with YMIN Capacitors’ Technology! In June 2024, Infineon recently launched a series of new products, including the 600 V CoolMOS™ 8 SJ MOSFET, CoolGaN™ bidirectional switch and CoolGaN Smart Sense, and CoolSiC™ MOSFET 650 V G2. These products aim to enhance the performance and cost-effectiveness of power systems, making them ...

Rohde & Schwarz is claiming the world’s fastest oscilloscope zone trigger update rate, using a dormant asic feature that can now offer of up to 600,000 waveform/s and has <1.45μs blind time between trigger events. Zone triggering allows users to specify trigger conditions by drawing one or more zone areas on the instrument’s display. Each acquisition is then inspected for ...

Texas Instruments has used integrated moulded magnetics to shrink the size of six multi-amp dc-dc converters – five buck types and one boost. The shrunk versions are branded ‘MagPack’ by the company, which will not reveal details of the construction except to say that the control IC and inductor coil are stacked before magnetic material for the inductor is over-moulded ...

The third generation of general-purpose neural processing units (GPNPUs) by Quadric introduces pre-integrated clusters of two, four or eight cores to deliver up to 108 TOPS. This latest iteration has increased performance and optimisations for generative AI. the company has also introduced a safety enhanced version for automotive applications. The company described the Chimera QC series as NPUs with a ...
