32 input precision thermocouple scanner
Chell Instruments has introduced a 32 input thermocouple scanner for temperature measurement in industry and aerospace. Called 2432T, “it measures all types of thermocouples with high accuracy and at high speed, and outputs the data over interfaces that including Modbus, iDDS, IENA, Netscanner, or Chell native TCP/IP protocol or UDP protocol”, according to the company. Its construction includes a copper ...
Touch sensor shuns dirt, oil and water
EBE Sensors + Motion has introduced a touch sensor evaluation board for challenging environments. It implements a technology branded ‘TCRC’, which is aimed at operating panels in industry, construction machinery, medical environments and kitchens, for example. “Whether in freezing cold, tropical heat, wet, or dusty environments, TCRC sensors work reliably,” claimed EBE. “They can be operated with gloves or dirty ...
28 x 38mm i.MX 8M embedded computing modules
Diamond Technologies has introduced a series of 28 x 38mm embedded computing modules based around NXP’s i.MX 8M processors, which combine Arm Cortex-A53 and Cortex-M cores. Initial boards are: DTI 8M Plus Quad with NXP i.MX 8M Plus up to four 1.8GHz Cortex-A53 800MHz Cortex-M7 Neural processing unit 1GHz GC7000UL 3D graphics GC520L 2D graphics 1080p60 video decode 1080p60 video ...
15W radiation-rated dc-dc for space
Microchip has introduced a 15W radiation-rated dc-dc converter for space use. Intended to be fed from a satallite’s 28V bus (22V to 42V, 50V abs max), SA15-5-5T has three isolated 5V 1A outputs that can be paralleled for more current or connected in series for higher voltages. Output ripple is <1%, and operation is over-55 to 125°C, with de-rating above ...
ZVS GaN PFC chip switches at 2MHz
Wise Integration has released its GaN PFC (power factor correction) controller chip to production. WIW1101 is based on a 32bit MCU, said the company, and is specifically for totem pole PFCs operating in critical conduction mode (CrCM), switching at up to 2MHz and delivering between 100W and 1.5kW. Its proprietary internal algorithm “enables ZVS [zero voltage switching] across all power ...
Translation tool tackles optimisation in large SoCs
Designers looking to optimise PPA (power, performance, area) are finding that optimisation engines can render original programmatic timing constraints unusable in their original form. At DAC 2025, Ausdia introduced Timevision OneSource which automatically generates a new version of block-level constraints after optimisation engines have worked on hierarchies, duplicate elements and performed advanced transformation. Such optimisations can save two weeks of ...
1% current sense amplifier ICs for high or low-side measurement
Rohm has created a set of six current sense amplifiers with AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. They work with external shunt resistors, and there are two basic types: one (BD1423xFVJ-C) that can sense across the common-mode range of -14 to +80V and runs from 2.7 to 18V, and the other (BD1422xG-C) that can sense across -14 to +40V and runs ...
Down-hole accelerometer for drilling
TDK is challenging quartz accelerometers in down-hole measure-while-drilling applications with a ±14g MEMS accelerometer that works across -30 to +150°C. With a “unique closed-loop architecture that provides an unprecedented level of vibration rectification and resistance to operational shocks, AXO315T0 exhibits a bias residual error of 0.8mg over its operating temperature range, enabling a precise and continuous inclination measurement for directional ...
Switch fabric scales up data movement for AI
San Francisco: At last year’s DAC, Baya Systems emerged from stealth mode. At this year’s event, the design software company announced a switch fabric technology that is claimed to enable a x100 increase in node density. NeuraScale is designed to overcome critical scaling and data movement challenges in AI infrastructure that are driving advanced SoCs and emerging 3D chiplet-based designs, ...
