Keysight has introduced a series of 14bit general purpose oscilloscopes with up to 1GHz bandwidth. The HD3 Series is “built from the ground up with a custom asic deep memory architecture”, said the company, while also saying that it is “leveraging custom hardware technology from the UXR Series”. There are two channel and four channel versions, both with 16 digital ...

AEC-Q200 transformer isolates battery management signals
Bourns has created an AEC-Q200 compliant 1:1 signal isolation transformer for automotive battery management systems. SM91872AL is surface-mount and will fit into a 17.4 x 10.6 x 8.1 envelope – including its visible legs. Inductance is 150 to 450µH (100kHz 100mV) across its -40 to +125°C operation range, and leakage inductance is 1µH max. Both sides have a maximum resistance ...
Peering into the life of neutrinos
Juno is a neutrino detector under construction 750m below Jiangmen in China. A collaboration between 17 countries, 730 scientists from 74 universities and national laboratories have worked on it. At its heart will be a 34.5m diameter acrylic sphere filled with 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator, which will emit photons if neutrinos interact with it – neutrinos sourced from eight ...
Automotive CXPI interface has GPIO, ADC and PWMs
Toshiba is developing an interface IC for the automotive CXPI (clock extension peripheral interface) bus whose hardware logic “can control data communication by CXPI protocol and GPIO, eliminating the need for dedicated software development”, according to the company. Not a lot more has been revealed about the function of the IC, called TB9033FTG, except that it has 16 GPIO pins, ...
Qorvo FEM for WiFi7
The Qorvo QPF4209 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) systems. The small form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application. Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for a 5V supply voltage that minimizes power consumption to allow for systems that use digital pre-distortion to achieve the highest linear output power ...
ST joins Quintauris
ST has joined Quintauris, the RISC-V facilitator, as its sixth shareholder alongside Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP and Qualcomm. Quintauris was founded in December 2023 to advance the adoption of products based on RISC-V principles. This will include access to reference architectures, and assistance in the creation of versatile, cross-industry solutions. The initial core industry applications will be for the ...
Scope-like data visualisation for Segger SystemView
Segger has added an oscilloscope-like window to its SystemView embedded system analysis software to record variable data alongside runtime events. Called DataPlot, its graphs are synchronised with SystemView’s Timeline and CPU Load windows. Data can be sent in fixed point or floating-point formats and multiple variables can be recorded – each identifiable by a descriptive name and a different color ...
#4-40 threads in Cliff FeedThrough connectors for US market
Surrey UK based Cliff Electronics has created versions of its DualSlims FeedThrough connectors to suit the North American market with #4-40 (UNC) threaded mounting holes. The connectors measure 19 x 35.5mm (17.15 x 22.86mm panel cut-out = 0.675 x 0.9in), allowing up to 20 connectors to be mounted across the front of a 1U, 19inch rack panel. Mounting holes are ...
ODU broadens low-loss optical fibre connector range
ODU has added its EBP (expanded beam performance) optical connection technology into its Mini-Snap Series K, Medi-Snap, ODU-Mac product ranges. “As a non-contact lens technology, EBP achieves low attenuation, virtually no cleaning or maintenance requirements and a long service life,” claimed the company, which explained: “Under normal conditions no maintenance is required – cleaning the ferrule is only necessary in ...
All-constellation RTK GNSS modules
Distributor Rutronik has added three surface-mount RTK-enhanced GNSS modules from Unicore to its portfolio. RTK – ‘real time kinematics’ – is a service that increases the accuracy of satellite navigation systems.
