Micron sampling HBM4
Micron is sampling HBM4 are built on the company’s 1ß DRAM process, with 12-high packaging technology and memory built-in self-test (MBIST). Volume production is scheduled for next year. With a 2048-bit interface, achieving speeds greater than 2.0 TB/s per memory stack, the device delivers 60% better performance over the previous generation while having 20% better power efficiency than HBM3E. Hynix ...
Absolute rotary encoders work on motors up to 8,000rpm
Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for sensing as all of its AMT series encoders, which is claimed to resist environmental particulates. Outputs options are 12 or 14bit, both over a bi-directional ...
IMS: USB and portable real-time spectrum analysers
Aaronia will reveal USB and portable real-time spectrum analysers at the IMS Microwave Symposium in San Francisco next week. Spectran V6 Mobile is the portable analyser (photo right), with a real-time bandwidth of 490MHz. “This means that even the 320MHz wide channels of the new IEEE 802.11ax standard can be fully recorded,” according to the company. “The tablet, which is ...
