Two current sensors and fan motor driver
Allegro MicroSystems today announced three ICs: two analogue current sensors and a motor driver for fans. The first current sensor, ACS37630, is designed to be sat on top of a bus bar and partly surrounded by a U-core magnetic field concentrator. “Its vertical Hall technology enables sensing parallel to the package surface, ideal for system integration with U-core magnets,” according ...
Li-ion battery module for electric buses and boats
Toshiba has announced a 1.2kWh 27.6Vdc li-ion battery module for electric buses, ships and boats. Called Type4-23 (also FM01202CCB04A), it is electrically similar to the company’s existing Type1-23 in that it is 2P12S (24 cells in two parallel 12 series arrangement) module, but the earlier versions resin baseplate has been replaced by aluminium to improve heat extraction. “When used with ...
STM32 with AI acceleration and cyber protection for industry
STMicroelectronics has announced a series of AI-enabled and security-enabled industrial and IoT microcontrollers: STM32MP235. The parts have dual Arm Cortex-A35 cores (1.3 or 1.5GHz depending on version), a 400MHz Cortex-M33 and an 0.6Top/s neural network accelerator. On board is a 400MHz VeriSilicon GC8000UL 3D GPU capable of up to 66.5Mtriangle/s or 400Mpixel/s, Open GL ES 3.2.8 or Vulkan 1.2. This ...
M8 D-coded panel connectors with single wires
Aiming at factory automation, Binder has announced D-coded M8 panel connectors with pre-installed single wires. “We supply the single wires untwisted, allowing customers to twist them according to their application needs to achieve better transmission results,” said Binder product manager Guido Werner. “M8-D-coded connectors enable communication between controllers, sensors and actuators in manufacturing and process plants.” There are three versions, ...
Stainless steel optical sensors for food processing
Leuze has introduced a broad range of stainless steel optical detectors for the food industry. “The devices are designed for reliable operation in wet areas and during intensive cleaning processes and have protection classes such as IP67, IP68 and IP69K, as well as Ecolab, CleanProof+ and Diversey certifications. There are retro-reflective sensors which send out light that is expected to ...
550W industrial or medical ac-dc PSUs
Cinon has created a range of 550W ac-dc single output power supplies measuring ~130 x 84 x 25.4mm. The power supplies do not have an internal fan, and 550W is only achievable with both baseplate and blown air cooling above 21.9cfm, with derating starting at 50°C ambient, and the maximum allowable load dropping to 350W at 80°C. With un-blown ambient ...
