Infineon has announced bi-directional GaN power transistors at 40, 650 and 850V, and a current sensing GaN transistor. There are two types of bi-directional transistor: The 650 and 850V devices are both normally-off monolithic gate-injection transistors with four operational modes via two separate gates and a substrate terminal, to deliver what the company calls ‘independent isolated control’. “They utilize the ...

Innodisk’s EV2U-SGR1 Camera Module revolutionizes smart parking management by offering high-quality image capturing for smart parking meters. This allows the advantage for smart parking meters to replace traditional manual enforcement methods, providing a convenient solution with features like automatic license plate recognition and real-time monitoring. This not only optimizes space usage and enhances efficiency but also relieves the burden of ...

Raspberry Pi 5 now has the option of an AI co-processor for neural networks, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The AI kit comprises the same M.2 HAT+ recently announced for holding NVMe memory drives, instead loaded with 13Top/s Hailo-8L AI processor. Connection, according to Raspberry Pi, is over its single-lane “PCIe 3.0 connection running at 8Gbit/s” – which is the ...

Branded ‘u-locate’, “it offers every necessary hardware, software and middleware component for indoor positioning, including support for interoperability with the omlox standard”, according to u-blox. “Based on Bluetooth LE AoA, u-locate delivers positioning accuracy down to 10cm while ensuring extended tag battery life.” Omlox, owned ...

At Computex 2024, Intel has revealed details of its Lunar Lake architecture for AI PC processors. It has been designed for power efficiency compute performance in ‘thin and light’ PC models. The processors include Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores) for energy efficiency and AI compute performance. They also have a fourth generation neural processing unit with up to 48TOPs of ...

Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) and Silicon Austria Labs (SAL), have conducted a joint proof of concept for eFuse technology in high-voltage applications using SiC-based power devices. The results show that eFuse technology can significantly improve safety and reduce the material and maintenance costs of systems such as on-board chargers (OBC) in motor vehicles. SiC and GaN-based power electronics are increasingly ...

Laird Thermal Systems has created a range of thermoelectric coolers for taking heat out of small spaces, such as the chambers within medical analysers or test instruments. The SuperCool X series has three cooling options: air-to-air, direct-to-air or liquid-to-air. SLAX liquid-to-air models have a cooling capacity of up to 400W, according to the company, SDAX direct-to-air models up to 220 ...

Silanna UV will launch a 235nm LED at ICFUST 2024, the International Congress on Far-UVC Science and Technology. SF1-3M1FWL1 is a 700mW input (30mA, 23.5V nominal) device that typically emits 3mW of UV radiation at that current. typical emission angle is 125°. Packaging is 6.8 x 6.8 x 1.38mm surface-mount. “This LED is effective for surface disinfection, air purification, medical ...
