Kioxia is sampling CD9P Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs built with TLC-based 3D flash memory. BiCS flash uses CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology which boosts power efficiency, performance, and storage density while doubling the capacity available per SSD compared with the previous generation model. The CD9P Series drives deliver 4-corner performance improvements of up to approximately 125% in ...

Two software tools, Innovator3D IC and Calibre 3DStress, address chiplet integration and thermal management at the transistor level. Siemens Digital Industries Software announced the duo at DAC 2025. The Innovator3D IC suite advances 3D IC integration using AI to execute chip design and raise productivity, as designers increasingly reintegrate chiplets into high performance substrates, said the company. It enables IC ...

Bosch has included ±28g accelerometers in its latest 3D inertial measurement unit, aimed at sports wearables. Called BHI385, it also includes a 32bit processor running embedded AI software “creating a complete programmable system”, claimed the company. It “accurately captures dynamic movements such as smashes, swings, and jumps [enabling] motion analysis for high-impact events across sports, fitness and gaming”. Features include ...

Murata has introduced an industrial-grade 3-axis accelerometer for structural health monitoring, machine control and construction. Includes temperature and drift over lifetime. Excluding mechanical shocks The company claims an offset error over life and temperature of ±4mg for x and y axes, and ±6mg for z, for the unit, dubbed SCA3400-D01. (‘g’ in this article is gravity rather than grams). Offset ...

All three stages of chip design will be automated and accelerated, says Moores Lab AI, which has introduced four design tools using agentic AI. Agentic AI is one of the buzzwords at this year’s DAC in San Francisco. Whereas generative AI generates content, agentic AI is an automation process. It autonomously makes and acts on decisions with little human intervention. ...

STMicroelectronics has made an eight-channel low-side driver for vehicles with extra functional safety hardware that “eases system-level ISO 26262 certification up to ASIL-B”, said the company. The nominal ratings of L9800, as it will be known, are: 12V power rail and 260mA per output. L9800 outputs can drive resistive, capacitive or inductive loads like relays, solenoids and LEDs,” said ST. ...

Wevo has created three soft potting compounds that can be used “for wire bonds and inductive components such as chokes or transformers, either with or without ferrite cores”, it said, adding that they “offer excellent protection against mechanical stresses [and] also enable thermal management”. All of them are silicones which pour with a standard viscosity of under 5,000mPa·s, suiting them ...

Filtronic is aiming at satellite up-links with a 500W V-band linear RF amplifier. Called Prometheus, it was unveiled at the International Microwave Symposium this week. I combines gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor with the company’s Cerus 32 solid-state power amplifiers. Bandwidth is 5.2GHz from 47.2 to 52.4GHz range, and typical saturated output power is 57dBm (500W) after a typical gain of 70dB. ...

BLM15VM is an automotive ferrite beads inductor intended to block frequencies around 5.9GHz. Announced by Murata, it is particularly intended for 5G vehicle-to-everything (5G-V2X) applications. “In recent years, the use of high-frequency wireless communication in the automotive sector has increased.,” according to the company. “It is primarily used for content distribution for navigation, audio and other infotainment systems. Improving sensitivity ...

X-Fab has improved 25V isolation for better SPAD integration in its 180nm XH018 fab process. 4×3 SPAD arrays: Original Isomos1 and new Isomos2 (right) SPADs – single-photon avalanche diodes – are used as optical receivers in lidar, 3D imaging, depth sensing and quantum communication. The improved isolation module, called Isomos2, improves pixel density and fill factor. “In a typical 4×3 ...
