The latest Electronics Weekly product news, ranging from Analogue and Asics to Software and Test.
At the Small Satellite Conference in Utah, Imec announced a hyperspectral sensor with an on-chip line-based filter covering 450 – 900nm in 96 bands. It had equidistantly divided spectral bands and, compared with its previous generation, double the TDI (time-delayed-integration) capacity – to 10 line per band. Underneath the filter is a ‘2/3inch’ 2,048pixel image sensor from AMS – the ...
ROHM has developed an ultra-compact 1.8V – 5V, rail-to-rail CMOS op amp – the TLR377GYZ, optimised for amplifying signals from sensors such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, used in smartphones, small IoT devices, and similar applications. The size of smartphones and IoT devices continues to decrease – requiring smaller components. To accurately amplify small signals as needed in high precision ...
At Siggraph today, Supermicro announced a 4U PCIe rack processor cluster with eight Nvidia L40S PCIe GPUs (photo right), scalable up to 256 GPUs in a 32-node scalable unit (photo below). “A wide range of professionals depend on compute-intensive 3D workflows, with use-cases ranging from product design to industrial digital twins,” according to Supermicro. “Up to eight of the latest PCIe ...
Infineon Technologies is to integrate 600 and 700V GaN power hemts alongside gate driver chips inside single packages, in 5 x 6mm or 6 x 8mm SMD packages. IGI70NxxxA2xS is to be a 700V range that combines a single GaN transistor with a single-channel driver in 5 x 6mm PQFN with with 140 to 500mΩ options (IGI70NxxxA2PS), or 6 x ...
A grant from the Pivot into Space programme is funding a Novocomms R&D project to develop a next-gen PNT (positioning, navigation and timing antenna) system for use in space. Pivot into Space is a programme being led by the Midlands Aerospace Alliance. It has funding from the UK Space Agency that is matched by industry. The idea is for the ...
Cortec has created packaging paper that is both anti-static and anti-corrosion, positioning it as a replacement for plastic bags. The paper is recyclable and re-pulpable, and does not contain nitrites, phosphates, silicates or hazardous compounds. “This product eliminates static electricity build-up through the use of a coating made from soybean oil,” according to the company. “EcoSonic ESD Paper performs better ...
San Francisco-based Particle has announced an octa-core Raspberry-Pi shaped single-board computer built around a Qualcomm Snapdragon Kryo CPU with 12Top/s neural processing capability, and equipped with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E comms. Called Tachyon, and aimed at AI edge processing, it is designed to run Ubuntu across its four 1.9GHz Arm cores, three 2.4GHz cores and single 2.7GHz core. Particle describes ...
Dr. Ali Sadri considers how some of the limitations for 5G performance can be overcome, for example via RIS and in-building wireless coverage. With the rollout of 5G continuing to cause issues around the globe, some people would argue that it’s not yet living up to the hype. So what’s needed to unlock its potential? Dr. Ali Sadri, CTO of ...
Binder is adding an M8 12-pin circular connector to its industrial portfolio. Featuring 12 pins on the compact M8 connector face, the connectors are aimed at projects requiring miniaturisation. Applications suggested by binder include industrial sensor technology, measurement and control, in camera technology and robotics. Miniaturisation “The future of automation lies, among other things, in miniaturization, for which we are ...
CUI Devices has added tweeters to its range of loudspeakers. Called the CTW range, there are six tweeters, measuring from 30.5 x 30.5mm to 58.8 x 58.8 mm, and between 13.5 to 24mm from front to back. Oval, rectangular and round frame shapes are available, some with ferrite magnets and others with neodymium types, with cones of and paper, polyester ...
