Kontron has announced a series of industrial mini-STX motherboards built around AMD’s Ryzen Embedded V1000 and R1000 processors, including Vega graphics. This is its first completely new motherboard since the acquisition of Fujitsu’s industrial motherboard division. Aimed at Windows 10 or Linux-64, and called D3714-V/R mSTX, they support up to four independent 4K displays for industrial PCs, medical displays, digital signage and kiosks, ...
Infineon is aiming at high switching frequency applications dc-dc converter applications such as telecom and solar with its OptiMOS 6 family of 100V mosfets. Compared with OptiMOS 5, the company is claiming: Rds(on) better by 18% Qg x Rds(on) better by 29% Qgd x Rds(on) better by 42% “In a 600W, 36-60V to 12V zero-voltage switched buck-boost converter, OptiMOS 6 in SuperSO8 with 2.2mΩ can achieve 1% ...
Teledyne e2v HiRel has introduced pair of isolated 650V 4A gate drivers aimed at GaN power transistors, offering 2.5kVrms isolation and 100% ac-dc testing at -55 to 125°C. TDGD271 is a single channel driver in 8pad SOIC, while TDGD274 is a dual channel driver in 16pad SOIC. “The TDGD27x family devices are ideal for isolated mosfet, IGBTand SiC or GaN HEMT gate ...
Renesas has introduced a battery pack monitor for long strings of cells that uses an ac-coupled bus to solve the thorny problem of passing data up and down the line. At the same time, it revealed a high-side battery protection and monitoring IC for 4S to 16S cell battery packs. RAA489204 for long strings Stackable up to 30 ICs Up ...
The circular connector specialist binder has released rectangular-flange M12 connectors with multi-position, lockable A-coding. The two-piece M12 panel mount connectors – with square-flange housings and multi-position, lockable A-coding – aim to simplify secure sensor/actuator connections, in applications such as factory automation and robotics. binder writes: The 763 series includes M12 A signal connectors equipped with 4, 5 and 8 pins ...
Trinamic will be demonstrating motor control through Python programming at Smart Production Solutions (SPS 2021) the week after next – for the first time under the Analog Devices flag along with Maxim. Intended to ease prototyping, the company’s TMCM-0960-MotionPy single-board computer (right) runs MicroPython on an Arm Cortex-M4, works over 6V to 50V, and includes CAN, RS485 and UART interfaces as ...
NXP has announced the first processors of its i.MX 9 family, originally announced in March, with some including its first Arm ‘Ethos-U65’ neural network processor (dubbed a ‘microNPU’), with added security for artificial intelligence at the edge. “These attributes enable developers to address areas from voice-assisted smart home and building systems, to low-power industrial gateways and automotive driver monitoring systems,” ...
Power supply component failures are perhaps the most common malfunctions affecting electronic devices. This is due to several reasons. First of all, the systems supplying current to the rest of the circuit are directly exposed to all kinds of input interferences – voltage surges, power shortage, etc. Another reason is the use of poor quality components in stabilizers and converters ...
A ”smart automation warehouse” enables complete visibility, reduces complexity, improves operational performance, increases the productivity process in the industry by operating smart machines including robots, AGVs, RGVs, carton shuttle, forklift, etc. These devices are typically powered by batteries or cables or trolley wire, which require charging regularly, a place to charge as well as maintenance. And for outdoor systems ...
Amphenol’s Conec range of M8x1 D-coded circular connectors are optimised for industrial automation applications. “These connectors present engineers with all the attributes necessary to meet the ISO11801 Class D standard for up to 100Mbit/s fast Ethernet signal transmissions,” according to RS Components, which is stocking the parts. They have 0.8mm diameter contact pins rated at up to 4A at 40°C, work at 50Vac ...
