Würth Elektronik has introduced two families of surface-mount multi-channel galvanic isolators for digital signals. Devices in the WPME-CDIP family have four 100Mbit/s isolated channels and a built-in dc-dc converter that provides isolated power from one side to the other. Different versions have different combinations of digital isolator directions: all from input to output, three in that direction and one returning, ...
Advantech has used AMD Ryzen Embedded 7000 processors in a series of industrial ATX motherboards dubbed AIMB-723. “This is the first industrial-grade motherboard integrated with the AMD B650 chipset, delivering high computing performance with a seven-year lifespan,” said Advantech. “It stands out as the first AIMB motherboard to embrace DDR5 UDIMM, as well as support up to a three-slot discrete ...
Vishay has introduced four ultra-fast 200V rectifier diodes: VS-1EAH02xM3 (1A) VS-2EAH02xM3 (2A), VS-3EAH02xM3 (3A) VS-5EAH02xM3 (5A) “Their low-profile DFN3820A housings provide a space-saving solution with high efficiency, predestined for commercial, industrial and especially automotive applications – they are each available as Vishay Automotive Grade, AEC-Q101 qualified versions,” according to distributor Rutronik, which is stocking the parts. Taking the 3A VS-3EAH02HM3 ...
The 2023 Avnet Insights survey reports that nearly three quarters (73%) of engineers who responded from around the world say the component shortages experienced recently in the supply chain have improved year on year year on year. This is an improvement from last year, when 59% said the component shortages had worsened year-on-year. A large majority (66%) said there was ...
Kvaser has created an M.2 slot compatible board that can add four CAN or CAN FD interfaces to a PC or computer Called ‘M.2 PCIe 4xCAN’ (and also 01333-9), it works with PCI Express M.2 slots with B or M keying. It has a main 22 x 80 x 2mm M.2 main board, and four smaller satellite boards (see images) ...
Infineon is putting 1,200V and 2,000V SiC mosfet half bridges into 62mm module packaging. “The package enables the use of SiC for mid-power applications from 250kW, where silicon reaches the limits of power density with IGBT technology,” according to the company. “Symmetrical internal package design provides identical switching conditions for the upper and lower switches.” For speedy replacement, the main ...
element14 and Schneider Electric have issued their “Experimenting with Industrial Automation Design Challenge.” This competition is a call to action for engineers, makers, and tech enthusiasts to dive deep into the world of industrial automation and unleash their creativity. Industrial automation is a cornerstone of modern industry, streamlining manual processes to enhance productivity across a wide range of applications, from ...
Perle Systems has introduced industrial grade real-time managed Ethernet switches with both fibre and copper ports, in a 45 x 93 x 109mm DIN rail mount package. “This represents a significant advancement in network infrastructure for industrial environments,” claimed the company. “The two 1000Base-X fiber connectors can extend Gigabit Ethernet operating distances over fibre up to 160km.” The fan-less units come ...
Vox Power has announced a set of conduction-cooled 300W dc-dc converters, for railway and other rugged environment use. Measuring 188.6 x 116 x 25.4, the 33.6 to 160V input range is intended to cover 48, 72, 96 and 110 V railway batteries. Dips to 28.8V can be ridden through covered for 100ms, complete drop-outs for 10ms, and 168V peaks for 1s. ...
Toshiba is aiming at pumps, air conditioning and fans with through-hole versions of its latest 600V three-phase brushless dc motor drivers. TPD4163K and TPD4164K come in a 32.8 x 13.5 x 3.525mm ‘HDIP30′ package, which has pins on a 1.778mm pitch (Electronics Weekly has asked why this odd pitch was chosen – watch this space). “This new package reduces PCB ...
