The SL2000 high-speed data acquisition ScopeCorder  has been announced by Yokogawa. It is designed for prototyping test and complements the company’s benchtop DL950 ScopeCorder. The modular SL2000 is designed to capture fast signal transients and long-term trends in R&D, validation, and troubleshooting in automotive, aerospace, marine and rail applications as well as data centres, energy generation and storage and robotics ...

Infineon Technologies has announced a rad-hardened GaN transistor designed to operate in harsh space environments. It “is the first in-house manufactured GaN transistor to earn the highest quality certification of reliability assigned by the United States Defense Logistics Agency to the JANS specification MIL-PRF-19500/794”, according to the company. “The gallium nitride hemts [high electron mobility transistors] are engineered for mission-critical ...

Myir has announced a 37 x 39mm system-on-module (SoM) built around NXP’s i.MX 91 processor, which has a single 1.4GHz Arm Cortex-A55 core. “This module maintains pin compatibility with Myir’s existing i.MX93 MYC-LMX9X series, allows customers to scale designs without hardware redesigns,” according to the company. “It is capable of running Linux [6.6.36], making it perfect for electric vehicle charging ...

Not known for making microcontrollers, Allegro Microsystems has picked a 40MHz Arm Cortex-M4 as the processing heart of a series of stand-alone three-phase automotive brushless motor driver ICs for rails up to 90V. The parts are: 60V motor, 5.0V I/O, 252kbyte flash A89211GEVSR 60V motor, 3.3V I/O, 128kbyte flash A89211GEVSR-A 90V motor, 5.0V I/O,  252kbyte flash A89212GEVSR 90V motor, 3.3V ...

Aaeon has released two single board computers based on Intel’s Twin Lake Core 3 Processor N355. Called Up Squared TWL and Up Squared Pro TWL, they are also available with Processor N250 or Processor N150 CPUs. The non-Pro measures 85.6 x 90mm and includes two RS-232/422/485 pin wafers, three USB ports, and a 40-pin HAT connector offering GPIO, SPI, I2C, ...

Rhopoint Components is to supply a 1.2kV 260A three-phase silicon carbide power module for electric vehicles. Made by Cissoid and called CMT-PLA3SB12340, it can supply its 26A at 90°C, and up to 340A at 25°C. This is a complete power module, including output-to-baseplate (5kVdc for 1min) and input-to-output (3kV for 1min) isolation, power supplies to feed the secondary side gate ...

Recom has created a wide input range 1.5 x 2inch 15W ac-dc converter that operates over part that operates over 18 – 264Vac, or 18 – 375Vdc. All parts have a 40 x 52.5mm footprint and stand 25.5mm tall. PCB versions (RAC15-xxSK/WI) have through-hole pins underneath, while the flying lead version (add /W suffix) have four 100mm wires protruding from the ...

Aiming at aircraft, Powell Electronics is offering high power connectors and cables from Glenair. The 972 series is designed for up to 2kVac, 1,500Hz and between 150 and 800A. With stainless steel bodies and shells, “the connectors feature a +230°C maximum operating temperature”, according to component distributor Powell, which added that rope-lay cables optimised for the connectors are available at ...

UK start-up SCI Semiconductor has raised £2.5m towards developing its security-enhanced microcontroller based on CHERI, a memory securing framework developed by the University of Cambridge and supported by the UK and US governments. The investment was from NPIF II – Mercia Equity Finance, which is managed by Mercia as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II (NPIF II), and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed smart textiles that use acoustic waves instead of electronics to measure touch, pressure and movement. SonoTextiles work with glass microfibres that conduct sound waves; data processing is efficient thanks to use of different frequencies. The researchers have woven glass fibres into the fabric at regular intervals. At one end of each glass fibre is ...
