Murata claims first MLCC with a capacitance of 100μF in a 0603-inch size package
Murata claims to have made the world’s first MLCC to provide a capacitance of 100μF in a 0603-inch (1608mm) size package with its GRM188C80E107M and GRM188R60E107M devices. With its compact packaging, 2.5V rated, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and impedance, and X6S/X5R temperature classes, the new GRM188 is suitable for decoupling and smoothing circuits in demanding computer and network environments. ...
17mΩ 13.5A e-fuses for 12V hot-swap needs
Nexperia has created a pair of 17mΩ 13.5A resettable electronic fuses for 12V hot-swap applications in 3 x 3 x 0.75mm DFN3030-10 (SOT8037-1) packaging. NPS3102A and NPS3102B operate with 9 to 18V on the input (21V abs. max) and can limit output current to anywhere between 2 and 13.5A range, programmed using a resistor – the voltage across which can ...
JEDEC plans advanced memory modules for next-gen AI applications
JEDEC has unveiled its plans for advanced memory modules to enable future high-performance computing and AI applications. Specifically, the standards body has revealed details about its standards for DDR5 Multiplexed Rank Dual Inline Memory Modules (MRDIMM) and a next-generation Compression-Attached Memory Module (CAMM) for LPDDR6. The aim is to provide “unparalleled bandwidth and memory capacity”. Both projects are in development ...
Micron claims world’s fastest datacentre SSD
Micron claims to have the world’s fastest datacentre SSD – the 9550 NVM SSD – which delivers 14.0 GB/s sequential reads, 10.0 GB/s sequential writes, and random reads of 3,300 KIOPS. The device supports a variety of AI workloads, including: GNN training with BaM, NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage, MLPerf and Llama LLM training fine tuning with Microsoft DeepSpeed. The SSD ...
Varistor handles surge current up to 6000A
KOA Speer Electronics has brought out a multilayer type metal oxide varistor that handles a surge current of up to 6,000A. The multilayer construction of the NV73S can absorb a large surge despite its small size. The two-way symmetries can absorb positive and negative surges. The NV73S replaces the NV732E (1210) through 2L (2220) due to its improved surge protection. ...
Laser distance sensors include Ethernet and RS-485
Panasonic has produced a range of micron-accurate industrial distance measuring sensors. Unlike its earlier similar sensors, digital output devices in the new HL-G2 series include interfaces for both Ethernet and RS-485 in each unit, selected by the cable used to connect them to the host system. They can communicate using EtherNet/IP, SLMP (seem-less message protocol), Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU. ...
Industrial Ethernet switches for Layer 3
Moxa is aiming at industrial Ethernet with Layer 3 rack-mount switches. There are two types of MRX Series 64 port Layer 3 switches (left in photo): MRX-Q4064 have 16 and up to 48 2.5Gbit/s ports MRX-G4064 have 8 10Gbit/s Ethernet ports and up to 56 Gbit/s ports “Commercial Ethernet switches are seldom tailored for industrial applications,” said Moxa product manager ...
Hall sensors latch at symmetical ± flux thresholds
The AH3712 is a latching Hall-effect magnetic sensor, protected for automotive electrical conditions, in a choice of SC59, SOT23 or SIP-3 packaging. The single output is switched ‘on’ with a magnetic pole above a certain flux density, and then switched ‘off’ when exposed to the opposite pole of the same flux density magnitude. There are three parts: AH3712: south pole ...
Solvent-less, dual-cure conformal coatings from Dow
Dow has introduced a range of solvent-less silicone conformal coatings to protect electronics components. The CC-8000 series, as it will be known, are dual-cure silicones where ultra-violet exposure gives a fast initial cure to ‘grab’ any loose parts, while exposure to moisture gradually cures areas from which the UV was obscured. “The ability to cure in seconds with broad spectrum UV ...
