Microchip has created a 78ps-resolution 20bit PWM timer block for a series of MCUs for GaN and SiC based dc-dc converters. There are 16 of them to implement 16 power rails, plus eight 16bit 1.25ns PWMs. The family, dsPIC33AK512MPS512, combines these PWMs with five of the company’s recent 12Bit 40Msample/s ADCs and backs them up with a 200MHz 32bit processing ...

The durable Arduino Opta micro PLC enables industrial and building automation. It integrates with existing machines, devices, and the modular Arduino ecosystem – from sensor modules to SOMs and gateways – for a tailored solution. Opta supports OTA updates and ensures security from hardware to cloud, compliant with the X.509 Standard. It is available at TME, making it easily accessible ...

Q-Tech has announced less accurate versions of its QT2020 and QT2021 series of space-qualified  MCXOs (microcomputer compensated crystal oscillators). “By expanding the selection of stability levels to include 50ppb and 100ppb versions, we’re able to supply with shorter lead times and at lower cost,” said Q-Tech v-p of marketing Scott Sentz. The list of options is now: ±10ppb, 0 to ...

Menlo Micro announced an 80Gbit/s PAM4 loop-back switch for testing asymmetric SerDes busses at IMS 2025, the International Microwave Symposium in San Francisco. “MM5625 delivers over 100 different configurations for the most complex SerDes bus test challenges,” according to the company. It can “support the high-speed differential signal switching required in the latest PCIe Gen 5, Gen 6, and other ...

Google is releasing Android 16, the latest major update to the mobile and embedded operating system. As always, the rollout begins with Pixel devices. Completed to its expected timeline, the major release marks the availability of the source code at the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). You can examine this code at cs.android.com. Edge-to-edge Highlight features include progress-centric notifications, the ...

STMicroelectronics is aiming at domestic induction hobs and microwaves with a 1.6kV IGBT in a long lead TO-247 package. “STGWA30IH160DF2 IGBT combines high thermal performance with efficiency in soft-switching topologies and easy paralleling,” claimed the company. Nominal current rating is 30A (120A pulsed), and the device works with its junction up to 175°C. Thermal resistance is 0.36°C/W junction-to-case, and 0.81°C/W for ...

Toshiba has created a pair of highspeed photo relays for pin-switching in semiconductor test equipment. “Improved infrared LEDs and optimised photodiode arrays in these models enable switch-on times to be reduced to 150µs while maintaining signal quality,” according to distributor Rutronik, which is stocking the parts. “In addition, the S-VSON4T package saves space on the circuit board.” – it measures ...

Phlux Technology has announced 1550nm avalanche photodiode with a 3.5GHz cut-off. Part of its existing Aura range, the speed increase comes from a reduced die size, down to 30µm from 80µm (1.8GHz) or 200µm (700MHz), which drops capacitance to between 0.15 and 0.4pF. “This makes it ideal for high-speed, time-critical applications, such as those found in gigabit speed optical communications, ...

Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate FSWX3044, a twin-input 44GHz spectrum analyser with cross-correlation measurement at IMS2025 in San Francisco. The company emphasises a novel multi-path architecture that supports a cross-correlation mode, explaining: A single signal input is internally split into two independent signal paths, each equipped with its own local oscillator and ADC. With this design, cross-correlation algorithms can be ...

Embedded compute modules based on Qualcomm Dragonwing processors, now support different operating systems, with options including Android, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, and Yocto Linux. Developed by Tria Technologies, an Avnet company, the boards are for embedded designs in the industrial, medical, agriculture and construction sectors, as well as  edge computing, machine learning and AI. The low-power Qualcomm Dragonwing processors have ...
