Flex Power Modules squeezed an 800W dc-dc converter into a 23.4 x 17.8 x 9.6mm surface-mount package. Called, BMR314 product, the task was made slightly easier by it being non-isolated, and having a fixed conversion ratio – of 4:1 – turning 38 to 60Vdc (68Vpeak) ratiometrically into for 9.5 to 15Vdc. “Featuring a controller developed by Flex in conjunction with ...
IDS has adopted Onsemi’s 20Mpixel AR2020 image sensor for an industrial camera called uEye+ XCP. It has 5,136 x 3,856 pixels, a USB3 interface and a closed housing measuring 29 x 29 x 17mm that includes a mechanical interface for C-mount lenses. “With the rolling shutter sensor AR2020 [is] the technical successor of the Onsemi AR1820,” said IDS. “With 20Mpixel, ...
In today’s evolving business landscape, companies must adapt their customer interactions and services to unlock new revenue and value-producing opportunities. The key lies in digitalization, which enables both operational and business model innovations. By increasing operational efficiency and embracing new ways of delivering value, businesses can gain a competitive edge. IT/OT convergence is essential for businesses to succeed in the ...
Variscite has added neural processing to a 33 x 68mm edge-connected Arm computer-on-module with built-in security and Wi-Fi 6. Centred on NXP’s iMX93 processor and called VAR-SOM-MX93, the module has a 1GHz NPU (neural processing unit) for AI and machine learning algorithms with 256 MACs (2ops/MAC) which can handle 8bit and 16bit integer RNNs, and 8bit weights. Alongside this are ...
Recom has created 12V and 48V variants of its 24V 450W RACM600-L ac-dc mains power supply. Like the original, they are open-frame supplies with an aluminium U-channel chassis measuring ~100 x 200x 40mm, this time delivering up to 430W by convection cooling and using convection cooling, and 600W continuously if there is sufficient airflow. Peak power from the original was ...
Sony has created a 61Mpixel interchangeable lens camera for professionals with industrial applications, such as those using drones for inspection, investigation, surveying or mapping. ILX-LR1, as it will be called, is box-shaped and measures 100 x 74 x 42.4mm and 240g. M3 screw holes allow mounting on any of its six sides, and there is a 1/4-20 UNC threaded (‘tripod’) ...
Rohm has co-packaged a gate driver and a 650V GaN power transistor to ease the design of power supplies in servers and ac adaptors. “While GaN hemts are expected to contribute to greater miniaturisation and improved power conversion efficiency, the difficulty in handling the gate compared to silicon mosfets requires the use of a dedicated gate driver,” according to the ...
Toshiba has picked a four-pin package for its latest third-generation silicon carbide mosfets. “Devices in the TWxxxZxxxC series are the first Toshiba SiC products to be housed in a TO-247-4L(X) package with a fourth pin,” according to the company. “This allows the provision of a Kelvin connection of the signal source terminal for the gate drive, thereby reducing the parasitic ...
In an effort to create and standardise an open api (application programming interface), multi-domain simulation framework across different industries, Accellera Systems Initiative, has announced a Federated Simulation Standard proposed working group. Its first meeting to “gather input and discuss expectations” will be held in Toulouse, France on 25 and 26 September. Different industries, for example avionics, space, semiconductor, automotive and ...
Moxa has introduced families of Ethernet switches for industrial environments. Spread across EDS-2000 and EDS-4000, they are being stocked in the UK by Impulse Embedded. “The core difference between ranges is their manageability: EDS-4000 switches are managed, which provides a higher level of control, security and optimisation,” according to Impulse, “EDS-2000 switches are unmanaged, which means that these function out-of-the-box, ...
