Senseeker has introduced a 1,280 x 1,024 version of its 10µm digital read-out IC (‘droic’) for short-wave infra-red imaging arrays, including quantum dot-based detector types. RD0131 as it will be known has a capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) front-end. There are three selectable gains, with well capacity of: 22k electrons (high-gain), 160ke- (medium) or 1.1Me- (low). In high gain, room temperature ...

TDK-Lambda has announced a series of rugged conduction-cooled dc-dc buck converters rated up to 750W. They come in a five-sided conduction cooled aluminium housing that measures 38.1 x 49.5 (39.4) x 13mm including (ignoring) mounting tabs. None are isolated and all have a single regulated output, remote on-off, remote sense and output trim – through a standard 1/16th brick through-hole ...

Teledyne LeCroy has added lower bandwidth options to its 8000HD range of 12bit oscilloscopes, which now includes models at 6 (8060HD), 8 (8080HD), 13 (8130HD), and 16GHz (8160HD). This bandwidth is available through the physically-smaller 50Ω input connectors, while the BNC connectors offer 2GHz (-3dB) in 50Ω mode and 500MHz in 1MΩ mode. They do not get the 1.8mm coaxial ...

Recom has created a 15W ac-dc power supply range that meet a wide range of international specifications including those for medical use. RACM15E-K supplies come in 80 x 23.8 x 22mm open-frame form with Molex connectors (photo below), or in a 83 x 26.4 x 29.5mm IP20 enclosure with push-in terminals and a DIN rail clip (right) – they are ...

STMicroelectronics has created a time-of-flight distance sensor for industrial use. VL53L4ED works over -40 to +105°C and in high ambient light, and provides “provides distance measurement to objects up to 1,150mm away over the full temperature range,” according to the company. “Special settings allow accurate distance measurement up to 800mm under strong ambient light [5klux].” On-board the 4.4 x 2.4 ...

Quinas, the startup founded by IQE and the universities of Lancaster and Cardiff, has received £1.1 million from Innovate UK to take UltraRAM further towards mass production. Invented by Lancaster physics professor Manus Hayne, UltraRAM technology is non-volatile with the speed, energy-efficiency, and endurance of  DRAM. Most of the funding for the one-year project will be spent at IQE which ...

Subtle electrolyte changes can maintain power density in electric aviation batteries, according to the University of Michigan. While extended capacity retention is key for vehicle traction batteries, electric aviation demands power density retention from its batteries. “Both takeoff and landing require high power, and landing is more challenging because you’re not fully charged,” said Michigan engineering professor Venkat Viswanathan. “To ...

Puls has introduced a range of DIN rail electronic circuit breakers for 24V loads from 90 to 480W. “With a width of only 22.5mm, PISA-M is the smallest four-channel electronic circuit breaker in the market,” according to the company. “PISA-M features a digital coded interface providing a way to remotely control the devices and to monitor the operational system status. ...

Rutronik has picked the ST12 from JAE for customers seeking a ‘push-push’ microSD card connector that is robust – up to 10,000 mating cycles – and whose solder joints can be inspected – as the case is cut away. “This series makes its inspection and repair simpler through the use of external surface-mount leads, which are visible and easily accessible,” ...

Rohm has released a line of 16bit microcontrollers for power supplies with hybrid analogue-digital control loops, plus an evaluation board with software as a design stepping stone. “In recent years medium power power supplies are required to provide a level of reliability and precise control that is difficult to meet with analogue-only configurations,” said Rohm. “On the other hand, while ...
