Cree LED has up-graded its 1.6 x 2.05mm lens-less XE-G led family, claiming a 20% increase in efficiency for RGBW systems, and a 10% or higher efficiency gain for 13 of the 18 available colors. These devices are intended to be packed closely under colour-mixing optical systems. As such, the gap between emissive surface and package edge is kept small ...

Texas Instruments has announced a 9 x 9mm controller IC for the DLP472TP 4K (3,840 x 2,160, UHD) digital micromirror device that it revealed recently. Describing the controller, DLPC8445, as “90% smaller than the previous generation”, the company said that it can be used in lifestyle and gaming projectors “that achieve sub-millisecond display latency, matching or exceeding the world’s most ...

Nexperia has introduced 80 and 100V mosfets in 5 x 6 and 8 x 8mm footprint LFPAK packaging with Rds(on) ranging from 1.8 to 15mΩ, or 2.07mΩ upwards for the 100V parts. “Many mosfet manufacturers focus on achieving high efficiency through low Qg(total) and low Qgd, when benchmarking the switching performance of their devices against alternative offerings,” said the company. ...

Anritsu has created a 9kHz to 54GHz spectrum analyser module that can be added to other test set-ups. MS27200A-0754, as it will be known, has 110MHz real-time analysis bandwidth, where it can can stream and capture IQ in 32bits, and -164 dBm DANL. That said, much of this performance requires options to be purchased and added. “The module is self-contained, ...

At the Small Satellite Conference in Utah, Imec announced a hyperspectral sensor with an on-chip line-based filter covering 450 – 900nm in 96 bands. It had equidistantly divided spectral bands and, compared with its previous generation, double the TDI (time-delayed-integration) capacity – to 10 line per band. Underneath the filter is a ‘2/3inch’ 2,048pixel image sensor from AMS – the ...

ROHM has developed an ultra-compact 1.8V – 5V, rail-to-rail CMOS op amp – the TLR377GYZ, optimised for amplifying signals from sensors such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, used in smartphones, small IoT devices, and similar applications. The size of smartphones and IoT devices continues to decrease – requiring smaller components. To accurately amplify small signals as needed in high precision ...

At Siggraph today, Supermicro announced a 4U PCIe rack processor cluster with eight Nvidia L40S PCIe GPUs (photo right), scalable up to 256 GPUs in a 32-node scalable unit (photo below). “A wide range of professionals depend on compute-intensive 3D workflows, with use-cases ranging from product design to industrial digital twins,” according to Supermicro. “Up to eight of the latest PCIe ...

Infineon Technologies is to integrate 600 and 700V GaN power hemts alongside gate driver chips inside single packages, in 5 x 6mm or 6 x 8mm SMD packages. IGI70NxxxA2xS is to be a 700V range that combines a single GaN transistor with a single-channel driver in 5 x 6mm PQFN with with 140 to 500mΩ options (IGI70NxxxA2PS), or 6 x ...

A grant from the Pivot into Space programme is funding a Novocomms R&D project to develop a next-gen PNT (positioning, navigation and timing antenna) system for use in space. Pivot into Space is a programme being led by the Midlands Aerospace Alliance. It has funding from the UK Space Agency that is matched by industry. The idea is for the ...

Cortec has created packaging paper that is both anti-static and anti-corrosion, positioning it as a replacement for plastic bags. The paper is recyclable and re-pulpable, and does not contain nitrites, phosphates, silicates or hazardous compounds. “This product eliminates static electricity build-up through the use of a coating made from soybean oil,” according to the company. “EcoSonic ESD Paper performs better ...
