With USB Power Delivery in mind, EPC has designed a 180W GaN dc-dc converter evaluation board. Its two-phase power section occupies only 24 x 24mm, using both sides of the board and ignoring input and output bulk capacitors. Called EPC91109 and intended to implement USB-PD 3.1, it delivers 12, 16 or 20V from an input range of 20 to 36V. ...
EBE Sensors + Motion has introduced a touch sensor evaluation board for challenging environments. It implements a technology branded ‘TCRC’, which is aimed at operating panels in industry, construction machinery, medical environments and kitchens, for example. “Whether in freezing cold, tropical heat, wet, or dusty environments, TCRC sensors work reliably,” claimed EBE. “They can be operated with gloves or dirty ...
Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping controller from STMicroelectronics that integrates eight n-channel mosfets with ultra-low Rds(on)”, according to Mikroe. “It features a 5MHz SPI interface, multiple safety protections, and additional control pins for ...
Amphenol has released the QEPT 4-TRX 200G NRZ, a 200Gbit per second high-speed optical pluggable transceiver module. The QEPT (Quad Embedded Pluggable Transceiver), capable of 56Gbit per second at distances up to 70m over the full temperature range of 0 to +70°C. The aggregate performance is 200Gbit per second over four channels. The module is in response to faster data ...
For those who wonder if NFC could usefully add function to their products, STMicroelectronics has a neatly-packaged contactless near-field communication development kit with eight snap-out boards to offer a “large set of ready-to-use antenna configurations”, it said. Built around the company’s 4 x 4mm ST25R200 NFC reader/writer IC, the boards within the kit, called STEVAL-25R200SA, plug together to create an ...
Rohm is sampling 320GHz resonant tunneling transmit and receive diodes in 4 x 4.3mm PLCC packaging, borrowed from LED production. “Terahertz waves are anticipated to be applied to non-destructive testing, imaging and sensing in the medical and healthcare sectors, as well as potentially fast communication technologies,” according to the company. The die within measure 500 x 500μm and are capable ...
Arrow Electronics has developed an ISO 15118 vehicle-to-grid data communication evaluation module. “The software, developed at Arrow’s engineering centre in Gdansk, contains protocol stacks for ISO 15118 V2G. There is also sample application code, as well as support for OCCP [Open Charge-Point Protocol] and Control Pilot interfaces as defined in IEC 61851 and SAE J1772,” said the company. ” V2G ...
Recom has launched a series of DIN-rail ac-dc power supplies with 90 to 264Vac inputs and 120W, 240W or 480W outputs – and it has some new mini buck dc-dc module evaluation boards. Efficiency of the ac-dc DIN modules is up to 93.5%. All measure 123.4mm deep by 123.6mm high, and width is 30mm, 40mm or 56mm respectivley. The models are: ...
SiFive has announced a quad-core RISC-V development board. HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache. It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard. “The board ...
NGK Insulators has teamed up with Rohm to produce a complete energy storage evaluation kit for IoT devices including shelf-edge labels. Called REFLVBMS001-EVK-001, it measures 56 x 32 x 1.6mm and the components, including the battery, stand a maximum of 1mm above the PCB. It can accept power at 4.5 to 5.5V, and outputs up to 500mA at one of ...
