The latest news, developments and announcements from around the electronics industry.
Analog Devices has created a fast power op-amp that can handle ±55V rails and ±1A outputs, with a digital control bus for setting internal parameters. Called ADHV4710, the output can swing ±52V with ±100mA loading, and its rails can vary down to ±12V. Despite being able to drive ±1300V/μs into 1nF, it is a voltage feedback amplifier, that can handle ...
Toshiba has introduced a set of industrial-grade 650V SiC mosfets in 8 x 8mm DFN packaging. Of the four new devices, the company picks TW054V65C as its poster child for low turn-on and turn-off losses: 122 ad 58μJ respectively when a pair are used in a 400V 20A half-bridge* – said to be ~55% and 25% less than the company’s ...
Luc Van den hove (pictured), CEO of Imec, is expected to propose reconfigurable AI chips tomorrow in his address to Imec’s annual ITF event. Chips take too long to make to keep up with fast-moving algorithm development is Van den hove’s central thesis. “There is a huge inherent risk of stranded assets because by the time the AI hardware is ...
Q1 electronics and IC sales were not directly impacted by the tariffs, according to the SEMI/TechInsights Q1 Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor (SMM) Report. Electronics sales declined 16% QoQ in Q1 2025 and remained flat YoY. IC sales contracted by 2% QoQ but grew 23% YoY, reflecting ongoing investment in AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. “While the first quarter of 2025 did ...
The Elektra Awards 2025, organised by Electronics Weekly, are open for entries from both companies and individuals in the electronics industry. The date of the awards is Tuesday 9 December, taking place at the Hilton Bankside in central London. Elektra Awards 2025 “For more than 20 years, the Elektra Awards have been the bellwether for innovation in the electronics industry,” ...
Imec, has developed an ingestible sensor 2.1cm in length and 0.75cm in diameter to measure redox balance, pH, and temperature along the entire gastrointestinal tract. Monitoring gut health is challenging due to the complexity and inaccessibility of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Traditional methods, such as endoscopy and colonoscopy, cannot provide a comprehensive view of the entire GI tract and are ...
US car maker Rivian has signed up Infineon to supply traction inverter power modules, microcontrollers and power ICs for its ‘R2’ vehicle platform, expecting to start in 2026. The power modules will be in Infineon’s HybridPack Drive G2 format (pictured) and include both silicon and silicon carbide components. Along with these, Rivian has picked infineon’s established TC3x MCUs, not not ...
CEA-Leti revealed GaN micro-LED displays incorporating an array of organic photodetectors. “MicroLED’s high radiance allows us to free up space on the display panel to incorporate photodetectors,” said Leti’s project leader Michaël Pelissier. “Demonstrating the integration of microLEDs with photodetectors paves the way for multi-functional displays that combine imaging, gesture recognition and even biometric scanning.” The display-sensor was described in ...
In industries such as automotive, industrial automation, and heavy machinery, reliable electrical connections are crucial – especially in environments exposed to moisture, dust, and constant vibration. Harsh conditions can degrade traditional connectors, leading to system failures and costly downtime. This is particularly critical in applications like off-road vehicles, LED lighting, renewable energy installations, robotics, and construction equipment, where durability and ...
Earlier today, at Computex in Taiwan, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that the upgraded Grace Blackwell chip, GB300 Blackwell Ultra, would ship in Q3. “When new markets have to be created, they have to be created starting here, at the centre of the computer ecosystem,” said Huang (pictured).. He also announced volume production of an upgraded RTX Pro Server system ...
