IC promises UWB radar for smart home automation
NXP has combined short-range 6 – 8.5GHz UWB radar, secure ranging and angle-of-arrival processing on a single chip. Called SR250, it is for “a world that anticipates and automates, enabling a variety of new user experiences based on location, presence or motion detection across consumer or industrial IoT applications”, claimed the company. It is said to support 3D angle-of-arrival and ...
30V TO-220 mosfets from Infineon
Infineon has announced seven 30V mosfets in TO-220 packaging. They are part of its StrongIRfet 2 family, which are less qualified that its industrially-rated Optimos devices. “The new power mosfets were designed to meet the requirements of mass market applications – switched-mode power supplies, motor drives, battery management systems and uninterruptible power supplies,” it said. Resistance and gate charge improvements ...
Small-signal mosfets in 1.1x1mm and 1.4×1.2mm DFN packaging
Nexperia has put more single and dual small-signal mosfets into DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) and DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) packages, with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. “The 1.1 x 1mm DFN1110D-3 package has seen increasingly wide adoption, and is quickly becoming the de-facto industry standard package for small-signal mosfets and bipolar transistors intended for use in automotive applications,” according to the company. “Superior ...
Metal lead-frame MLCCs for automotive power trains
TDK has introduced a series of high-value metal-framed multi-chip ceramic capacitors for automotive electric power trains, on-board chargers and wireless power transfer systems, where the capacitors must handle high currents or voltages, or have high capacity. “To meet these needs, TDK developed the CA series, the largest MLCCs in the industry [6 x 5.6 x 6.4mm] with a metal frame ...
Magnachip adds four 40V MOSFETS for auto
Magnachip has come up with four new 40V MXT MV MOSFETs designed in PDFN 33 packages for automotive applications. PDFN33 packages reduce footprint by more than 60% and the weight by approximately 75% compared to PDFN56. Three of the devices – AMDV040N029LVRH, AMDV040N036LVRH, and AMDV040N042LVRH – have a gate threshold voltage of 1.8V. Magnachip’s New Automotive 40V MXT MV MOSFETs The key ...
When vehicle radar becomes part of the MOT
Rohde & Schwarz is looking forward to times when nations mandate radar testing as part of annual vehicle inspections. It has created RadEst, a radar target simulator intended to function in the tough world of vehicle workshops. As well as simulating targets, the unit can measure radar parameters such as EIRP (equivalent isotropic radiated power) and occupied bandwidth. “With an ...
SMPM PCB connectors are non-magnetic for medical and quantum computers
Amphenol RF has introduced a non-magnetic series of PCB mounted SMPM jacks. “These 50Ω non-magnetic SMPM jacks offer reliable electrical performance up to 26.5GHz and are engineered with gold-plated beryllium copper bodies – these parts can be clearly identified by the NM stamp on the body [photo below],” according to the company. “They are compatible with all existing non-magnetic SMPM ...
JEDEC JESD406-5 expands market for “raw card” memory modules
The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association has published its JESD406-5 LPDDR5/5X Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Contents V1.0, supporting the memory module configurations known as “raw cards” (JESD401-5B). This is consistent, says the standards body, with the recently updated contents of JESD401-5B DDR5 DIMM Label and JESD318 DDR5/LPDDR5 Compression Attached Memory Module (CAMM2) Common Standard. JESD406-5 The new publication documents the ...
Haptic actuators come with Immersion Corp license
Vishay has added five solenoid-based haptic actuators to its IHPT range, which come with operation licenses from Immersion Corporation. There are four sizes, from 29 x 21mm to 44 x 37mm, that can provide forces up to 120N. Not immediately obvious from the photo, each transducer us in two parts: the top left part is a separate laminated metal bar ...
