It seems to be Ideal Diode Week at Electronics Weekly (here and here) as Diodes is also promoting one, this time an ideal diode that can cope with ±65V on its input and drops only 20mV when conducting. The automotive-compliant AP74700Q operates down to 3.2V (or 3.9V at start-up) to allow for cold cranking of a vehicle engine. Inside, a ...

Alpha and Omega has turned to 5 x 6mm LFPAK surface-mount packaging for a family of mosfets aimed at industrial, server power, solar, and telecommunication applications. Available at 40V, 60V, and 100V (see table) “AOS’s LFPAK enables higher board-level reliability due to gull-wing leads, which offer a ruggedised solution for board-level environmental stresses”, according to the company. “Gull-wing leads also ...

Bourns has created a surface-mount thin-film resistor series with AEC-Q200 compliance for automotive use. Model CRT-A resistors are available with tolerance of ±0.1, ±0.25, ±0.5 or ±1%, and temperature coefficients of ±50, ±25, ±15 or ±10ppm/°C. These compact, yet high power-rated resistors offering accurate resistance levels are increasingly required in space-constrained applications such as mobile phones, SD cards, DDR memory ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer applications, and has an automotive-qualified cousin named NID5100-Q100. “NID5100 supports ‘OR-ing’ multiple power supplies while retaining reverse polarity protection and provides fast response time for smooth power transfer,” ...

Emil Otto has created a range of cleaning agents for solar panels. “Photovoltaic modules must be cleaned regularly to ensure maximum performance,” according to the company. “However care must be taken when cleaning as the use of chemical cleaning agents carries a considerable risk of damage. Aggressive chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents can scratch or corrode the sensitive surfaces of ...

Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking the TLS820F3ELV50 as an example, it has an input range of 3 to 42V (45V abs max) and outputs 5V ±2% at up to 200mA. “These regulators are ...

United Electronic Industries has launched a four-slot military-grade IO system for aerospace and defence. DNR-MIL-4 measures ~240 x 180 x 109mm and is designed to comply with MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-1275/708 and MIL-STD-461F. Operation is over -40 to +85°C. There are three versions, with: a 8347 PowerPC, an Arm-based SoloX, or a quad-core Zynq UltraScale+ main processor IC. “For use in PowerDNA/slaved ...

Monolithic micro-speaker company xMEMS has created a cooling fan. XMC-2400, as it will be known, measures 9.26 x 7.6 x 1.08mm. Designed to have one of its flat sides in contact with the object to be cooled, it draws in air through holes in its other flat side, and discharges it through one of the edges. “A single XMC-2400 can ...

Aaeon has announced 85.6 x 90mm industrial single-board computers with Intel Processor N-series (Alder Lake-N) CPUs. Called ‘UP Squared 7100’, there is a choice of Processor N97 or N100. Atom x7000E or Core i3 N-series can also be fitted to special order, and the board will also be compatible with Atom x7000RE (Amston Lake) CPUs starting from Q1 2025, said Aaeon. ...

Health-related chemicals can be detected on dry skin, according to the National University of Singapore (NUS), which developed a stretchable ‘ionic-electronic bilayer hydrogel’ sensor with the Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star). The chemicals are known as solid-state epidermal biomarkers. “These biomarkers, which include cholesterol and lactate, are found in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the ...
