Würth Elektronik has combined Classic and LE version 5.4 in a single Bluetooth module measuring 16.6 x 12 x 1.7mm including its antenna. Called Skoll-I, “the module is already certified for conformity in all major target markets”, said Wurth. The “module offers an opportunity for developing devices that need to connect to both legacy and modern devices. [It] also offers ...

SemiQ is aiming at solar inverters with 1,200V SiC mosfets that are avalanche tested to 800mJ, some co-packaged with silicon carbide Schottky diodes – all have intrinsic reverse diodes. There are four devices: GCMS008C120S1-E1 8.4mΩ with Schottky GCMX008C120S1-E1 8.4mΩ GCMS016C120S1-E1 16.5mΩ with Schottky GCMX016C120S1-E1 16.5mΩ The resistance figures here are the channel on-resistance. In addition, two more are avalanche tested ...

Emil Otto has developed flux gels for manual rework on solar modules, that are based on solar module production fluxes. Fluxes for manual and rework soldering tend to contain “different activators to those used for series production”, according to the company. “Thanks to the uniform activators of the Emil Otto flux gels, cross-reactions that can occur when using different activators ...

US-based Master Electronics has added RF modules to its offering with the signing of French RF module specialist, Insight SIP. The distributor is based in Phoenix, Arizona but ships worldwide as Online Components for web-based distribution and trades as Electro Sonic in Canada. The company credits the combination of  online e-commerce and field sales, organic growth and strategic acquisition for ...

Panasonic has picked Nordic’s nRF54L15 around which to build its latest Bluetooth and Matter module: the 10.35 x 9.8 x 1.9mm PAN B511-1C. Equipped for Bluetooth 6 and 802.15.4, its embedded microcontroller is a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33, backed by 1.5Mbyte of non-volatile Rram and 256kbyte of ram, and the module has a built-in antenna. Scheduled for production in Jun, output ...

Seco will unveil Intel Processor N-series computer-on-modules at Embedded World in March. Also called Twin Lake, the processors have up to eight ‘Efficiency’ cores and aimed at applications dissipating 6 to 15W. SOM-SMARC-TWL will have the SMARC (smart mobility architecture) form factor and provides connectivity options such as 2x NBase-T (2.5GbE supported), 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 6x USB 2.0 ...

U-blox has introduced Bluetooth LE modules with PSA Certified Level 3 security, based on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF54L family of wireless mocrocontrollers. The modules “are qualified against Bluetooth Core 6.0 that includes Channel Sounding, enabling tracking and locating use cases”, according to  U-blox. The multi-protocol 2.4GHz radio can also handle Thread, Zigbee, Matter, Nordic’s proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol and Amazon Sidewalk. ...

Congatec is offering computer-on-modules pre-programmed with module-to-cloud communication software for remote monitoring, remote control and response automation. Branded ‘aReady.IOT’, and there is a matching central control dashboard to go with it. “The aim is to simplify the use of modern embedded applications,” said the company, “The pre-configured building blocks enable communication with machines, systems, devices and sensors via protocols such ...

Tria Technologies, Avnet’s embedded computer boards brand, has partnered with Finnish software company, Qt Group to develop new products for OEMs building human machine interface/graphic user interface (HMI/GUI) designs. Design, prototyping, system assembly and product integration by Tria will be combined with software development by Qt to build user interfaces for different platforms (i.e., embedded, mobile and desktop). The Qt ...

Raspberry Pi has announced the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version of its 21 x 51mm Pico 2 microcontroller board. Called ‘Pico 2 W’, it shares the dual 150MHz Arm Cortex-M33 cores, which can be replaced at boot by dual Hazard3 RISC-V processors. Memory remains 520kbyte of on-chip SRAM plus 4Mbyte of on-board QSPI flash. The added wireless interfaces are 2.4GHz 802.11n ...
