Schaffner has added nanocrystalline core versions of its ~65mm diameter RT common-mode choke series. Identified by part numbers of the form RT8xx1, they come in a choice of horizontal or vertical core orientation (see image) with two or three windings for single or three-phase power, as well as dc. “Based on nanocrystalline core technology, the series achieves up to 15dB ...

Micronas had created a pair of automotive-rated Hall effect magnetic angle sensors that work up to 150,000rpm. “Developers have the choice between two sensor models – HAL 3020 and HAL 3021 – for fast angle determination, with which they can meet the need for robust motor position detection and ISO 26262-compliant development. The components have differential or single-ended sine and ...

Emis has created a range of three phase, dual stage EMC filters designed for industrial motor and drive systems across 5 to 170kW. TMF3221 and TMF3222 “are housed in a space-saving slim book-shelf enclosure which may be installed next to inverters, converters or motor drives”, according to the company. “The devices are designed to meet the needs of power drive ...

Melexis has extended its LIN RGB automotive LED driver offering with the MLX81123 offering cost-effective performance and reliability in a small package. Ambient LED lighting is now a key design feature for automotive manufacturers, enhancing the end-user’s experience and helping OEMs to provide striking visual distinction. With well known OEMs utilising ambient lighting extensively across their latest models, maintaining a ...

Formamidinium lead iodide perovskite solar cells can be made to run for 1,000 hours at 85°C while loosing under 3% efficiency, according to Rice University. “Right now, we think that this is state-of-the-art in terms of stability,” said Rice engineer Aditya Mohite (right). The key was to grow its FAPbI3 from a solution containing a custom two-dimensional perovskite, designed to ...

EPC Space has created two surface-mount 40V radiation-specified GaN hemts for space use. EPC7001BSH is a 50A (120A pulse) 11mΩ transistor in 5.7 x 3.9mm packaging EPC7002ASH is a 15A (40A pulse) 28mΩ transistor in 3.4 x 3.4mm packaging “Both devices have a total dose radiation rating greater than 1,000kRad(Si) and SEE immunity for LET of 83.7MeV/mg/cm2 with Vds up ...

A two-chip cascading imaging radar system has been unveiled by Calterah, based on 6T-6R mmWave radar SoCs from Andes Technology. The 22nm CMOS SoCs, which will be available from June 2024, integrate an RF module and include a quad-core CPU with a DSP and proprietary radar signal processor. Flex-Cascading allows the two SoCs to be cascaded through chip-to-chip interfaces. This ...

In the context of the explosive growth of the energy storage market. New energy storage market prospects With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, especially due to the instability of wind and solar power, the role of energy storage systems in balancing grid supply and demand and mitigating fluctuations is becoming increasingly evident. Additionally, the development of the electric vehicle ...

On TSMC’s 7nm process, Alphawave Semi has taped-out an IO chiplet covering UCIe (universal chiplet interconnect express – rev1.1) Ethernet, PCIe and CXL, claiming it to be industry’s first. “Delivering a total bandwidth of up to 1.6Tbit/s, the enables up to 16 lanes of multi-standard PHY supporting PCIe 6.0, CXL 3.x and 800G Ethernet in a combination of mixed operating ...

Novocomms, the RF antenna design and manufacturing specialist, has secured £3.6 million of funding from the UK government’s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) to develop 5G mmWave consumer premises equipment (CPE). To develop “the next generation” of the equipment (routers, network switches, gateways, etc), over the next 13 months, the funding will enable it to recruit up to ten new ...
