The VisionSOM-RT1170 (SLS14) system on module (SoM) by SoMLabs is based on the i.MX-RT117x processor which incorporates Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4 cores to deliver up to 1GHz for the M7 and 400MHz for the M4 core. The SoM is available in the UK from franchised distributor Inelco Hunter. It also has 2MB on-chip RAM, up to 1Gb (128MB) of SDRAM and ...
From rotating magnets, Melexis is intending to generate two quadrature outputs with “minimal jitter as well as consistent 90° phase shift regardless of magnet pole pitch” from single IC containing two magnetic Hall sensors. The aim is to replace pairs of accurately-spaced single Hall sensor ICs with a single new IC, called MLX92253, that uses precision angles to replace precision ...
Kyocera AVX has released low-ESR C0G/NP0 dielectric RF MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors) “inspired by communications market demand for smaller RF capacitors that deliver repeatable performance”, it said. Called KGU, they come in values from 0.1 to 100pF with tolerances as low as ±0.05pF. They come in four chip sizes: 01005, 0402, 0603 or 0805 (EIA). Class I C0G, also ...
Nexperia has announced 20 bipolar power transistors in 2 x 2mm DFN2020D-3 packaging, half of them automotive-qualified. The span 50 and 80V ratings, 1 to 3A currents and both npn and pnp polarities. “DFN2020D-3 packaged devices deliver an 80% reduction in board space when compared to SOT89, and a 90% reduction compared to SOT223,” according to the company. “The package ...
EDA tool and semiconductor IP company, Synopsys, has announced revenue of $1.526bn for Q3 2024, up approximately 13% from Q3 2023. The company also announced it is expecting record full-year revenue with around 15% growth. Reflecting on the results, Sassine Ghazi, Synopsys’ president and CEO attributed a lot of growth to the increased use of AI. “The complexity and pace ...
Richardson RFPD is stocking 0402 (1005 metric) glass sandwich resistors designed to work from dc to 40GHz. Made by Kyocera AVX, and called the UBR series, they measure 1 x 0.5 x 0.5mm and have a flexible termination. “‘Flexiterm’ is a surface-mountable, automotive-qualified termination that adds an extra margin of protection against damage due to flexure during installation,” according to ...
Lee Harrison, Director, Product Marketing at Siemens EDA covers trends in the testing market, software defined vehicles, V2X, security, and advanced automotive hardware, such as multi-die chips to help scale complexity in a cost-effective way. He also talks AI and the use of SSN (streaming scanned networks) and why it represents a once in a decade testing technology. Note that ...
HBK has launches what it describes as a “tactical-grade” embedded inertial navigation system in a 38 x 24 x 8.6mm 8.3g package – 18% thinner and 20% lighter than its earlier 3DMCV5. 3DM-CV7-INS, as it will be known, has 1.5°/hr gyro bias instability – which is where the tactical grade comment comes from, and is calibrated over its operating range ...
Microchip Technology has announced a 32bit 200MHz version of its dsPIC33 series of DSP-heavy MCUs. dsPIC33A, as the family will be called, is aimed at fast closed-loop control of PSUs and motors. As with earlier dsPIC processors, the parts remain a combination of CPU and maths accelerator (‘DSP engine’), rather than a pure DSP architecture. In this fifth generation, the ...
Distributor Avnet has introduced the Tria brand for its embedded computing products (computer on modules, boards and systems). It has also announced the Tria Technologies business group which will also include its compute design and manufacturing capabilities. Tria Technologies will support OEMs with design either from scratch or using off-the-shelf products and will also make custom designs. Tria will be ...
