EPC has introduced an evaluation board implementing a 40Arms (60A peak) three-phase inverter that will run from 30V to 130V. Called EPC91200, it is “suitable for 80  and 110V battery systems commonly used in industrial automation, agricultural machinery and material handling equipment like forklifts,” according to the company. The inverter is designed around EPC’s 150V 3mΩ EPC2305 GaN HEMT, a ...

Rutronik has added a 2.1 inch round TFT to its small display portfolio, a 480 x 480 TFT from DLC Displays called DLC0210RHCS-1. It is an IPS type for wide (±80°) viewing angle, and typically achieves 16.7m RGB colours and up to 300cd/m2 – driven by an LED backlight. Claimed typical straight-on contrast ratio is 1,000. Operation is from 5V ...

Infineon has released a family of H-bridge driver ICs for small brushed dc motors in vehicles, that include hardware for ISO26262-level functional safety. Called the BTM90xx family, they are intended to work over 7 to 18V, but have some function at 4.5V, and can survive up to 40V. There are four parts: BTM9010EP ±3.4A continuous, PWM input BTM9011EP ±3.4A continuous, ...

Melexis has been delving into the intricacies of measuring the temperature of cooking pots on induction hobs, and has created an IC specifically for the job. “Customer requests initially sparked the development of the MLX90617,” said Melexis marketing manager Joris Roels. “However, the challenges of working with relatively small signals of infrared at short wavelengths made us question its feasibility.” ...

Rohm is sampling 320GHz resonant tunneling transmit and receive diodes in 4 x 4.3mm PLCC packaging, borrowed from LED production. “Terahertz waves are anticipated to be applied to non-destructive testing, imaging and sensing in the medical and healthcare sectors, as well as potentially fast communication technologies,” according to the company. The die within measure 500 x 500μm and are capable ...

SiTime has introduced SiT5977, a ±1ppb/°C mems-based 156.25MHz oscillator for network timing in data centres. It is “capable of driving 800G and higher links via 80fs phase jitter and LVDS outputs,” according to the company. Inside the tiny package, which measures 3.5 x 5mm, is what is claimed to be “the world’s most accurate silicon temperature sensor”. This sensor consists ...

Omron has designed a relay that can interrupt 200A at 500V, aiming to displace contactors from dc electric vehicle chargers, batteries and solar inverters. “A proprietary gas-less design cools arcs without the need for any special parts or materials in the manufacturing process, while eliminating the possibility of gas leakage,” according to the company. Gas-less? “G9EA, G9EC, and G9EH relays ...

JEDEC – the Solid State Technology Association – is publishing JESD220G: Universal Flash Storage 4.1, an update to the UFS standard. Aimed at applications where power efficiency is essential, UFS 4.1 offers faster data access and improved performance, says the standards body. It also maintains hardware compatibility to UFS 4.0. For example, it will be relevant for mobile applications and ...

Achieving high-efficiency current sensing requires shunt resistors that combine low resistance values with robust power handling. However, finding sense resistors that deliver both a high power-to-size ratio and affordable pricing can often be a challenge. Stackpole’s CSNL2512 series addresses this by offering a 3-watt power rating in a compact package, with low TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and resistance values ...

Same Sky has added 40 high-reliability models to its pogo pin selection. “The CPG family of pogo pins offers gold plated contacts for high reliability, with mating cycle ratings now up to 20,000 cycles,” according to the company. They come in surface mount, wire mount and through hole varieties, with initial operating forces across 10 to 125g, mid-compression forces from ...
