Infineon has created a 10Gbit/s USB peripheral controller, intended to be used in devices that connect to a host via USB-C. Called CYUSB4014-BZXI, it has an Arm Cortex-M4 processing core, a Cortex-M0+, 1,024kbyte of ram and 512kbyte of flash. Alongside USB-C, it has LVDS, LVCMOS and QSPI serial interfaces, and a crypto processor. This is actually one of four in ...

Diodes has created a series of automotive-compliant PCI Express 3.0 packet switches for in-vehicle networking. “The architecture used enables flexible port configuration with upstream, downstream and CDEP [cross-domain end-point] ports being assigned according to requirements,” according to the company. “They can connect with up to seven different endpoints and support multi-host applications.” PI7C9X3G606GPQ offers 6-port/6-lane operation, PI7C9X3G808GPQ 8-port/8-lane and PI7C9X3G816GPQ ...

Toshiba has introduced a series of multi-channel digital signal isolators that “ensuring stable high-speed digital communications even in the toughest factory floor environments”, it claims. They have 100kV/μs minimum common-mode transient immunity (1.5kV common-mode, 25°C), and carry data rates up to 150Mbit/s. Isolation is 5kV for 1 minute. Called the DCL54xx01 series, they are four-channel devices with different combinations of ...

At Embedded World today, Microchip announced six secure authentication devices that meet Common Criteria Joint Interpretation Library (JIL) secure key storage, and support algorithms that comply with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). They are intended to be companion devices, compatible with any microprocessor or microcontroller. “This portfolio lowers the barrier to entry and enables developers of products for new ...

STMicroelectronics has created a fast dual-channel high-speed digital isolator with both channels in the same direction. Called STISO620, it s”6kV thick-oxide technology ensures robust galvanic isolation”, according to the company. “Built to maintain insulation integrity during system faults and with ageing, they enhance reliability in industrial and consumer applications.” Peak withstanding is 4kVpk, isolation is to 2.83kVrms, and maximum working is ...

Shortly after Infineon launched its XMC7000 microcontroller series at electronica 2022, Rutronik has added the single- and dual-core devices to its portfolio. The microcontrollers have dual-bank flash memory for over the air (OTA) updates via read-while-write (RWW). The series consists of Arm Cortex-M7 core microcontrollers with Arm Cortex-M0+ support. It has a dual-bank flash whereby an update can be loaded ...

STMicroelectronics has created a pair of 10W Class-D audio amplifiers for use in vehicles “for automotive applications like eCall, telematics and wherever an audio channel needs to reproduce human voice, music or warning messages “, it said. They are almost identical, both offering a digital (I2S) front end, digital core, 24bit DAC (100dB resolution), a Class-D trans-resistance PWM output stage ...

Analog Devices has introduced ADIN2299, a multi-protocol industrial 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet switch, designed to operate in a star, line or ring topologies. “The platform was pre-certified so that the field device can operate in any of the supported industrial Ethernet networks,” according to the company. “The module contains everything needed to participate in a EtherCat, Profinet real-time and isochronous real-time, EtherNet/IP ...

Orolia has introduced a ruggedised version of its mRO-50 miniature (51 x 51 x 20mm) rubidium atomic clock. Called ‘mRO-50 Ruggedized’, its vibration rating has been raised from 4Grms to 7.7Grms (lock retained, MIL-STD-810H method 514.8 annex E – was annex C), and shock raised from 30G to 50G (MIL-STD-202G 11ms half sine) – qualification to the shock rating is ...

Diodes has put an array of seven 50V dmos open-drain transistors into a single IC for driving solenoids, relays, dc motors and LED displays, for example. Called ULN62003A, the output drop is 200mV and “far lower than the bipolar devices with which it is pin-compatible”, according to the company. This, according to the data sheet, is the typical value with ...
