Advantech is aiming to put artificial intelligence into heavy industry with a computer built around an Nvidia’s 100Top/s Jetson Orin NX system-on-module. This processor gives it an octo-core 64bit Arm Cortex A78AE CPU plus a 1,024-core Nvidia Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor cores – partnered with 16Gbyte of LPDDR5 memory. Called MIC-715-OX, it is IP67-rated, and all the IO connectors ...

137 years ago, after a series of botched judicial hangings, the Governor of New York set up a commission to look at alternative means of execution. A New York dentist, mindful of the central tool of his trade, suggested a method which was officially adopted as the state’s preferred method of execution in 1888 and which was first used for ...

EPC is claiming “the lowest on-resistance GaN FET on the market” for its 1mΩ 100V EPC2361, which comes in a 3 x 5mm QFN package with top and bottom cooling. 1mΩ is at 50A 25°C with 5V on the gate, and rises to ~1.8mΩ at the max operating temperature of 150°C (minimum is -40°C). The preliminary data sheet has no ...

Sourcengine has published its Q1 lead time report. Volatile memory is at 11-17 weeks and going up and NV memory is at 13-19 weeks and is mostly going up or, if not, is stable. Storage is at 10-15 weeks and mostly going up. Discretes are at 20-47 weeks and stable Standard logic and linear are at 7-20 weeks and mostly ...

The EU PREVAIL project to accelerate the development of edge-AI technologies is installing cleanroom tools and gearing up to design, evaluate, test and fabricate new circuits from across Europe.  CEA-Leti,  Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft,  imec and  VTT are running the initiative to set up a  Testing and Experimentation Facility for Edge-AI Hardware (TEF Edge AI HW to validate edge-AI components and fabricate  prototype ...

Infineon’s 750V G1 discrete CoolSiC MOSFET aims at industrial and automotive power applications. The product family includes both industrial-graded and automotive-graded SiC MOSFETs that are optimized for totem-pole PFC, T-type, LLC/CLLC, dual active bridge (DAB), HERIC, buck/boost, and phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) topologies. The MOSFETs are suitable for use in both typical industrial applications, such as electric vehicle charging, industrial ...

Pulsiv, the Cambridge power electronics specialist, is set to release a series of reference designs and assembled modules for USB-C applications that will deliver an average efficiency of more than 95%. This has been developed in collaboration with the GaN company Innoscience and magnetics expert, Frenetic. Designs will be released throughout 2024 to support a new class of sustainable USB-C ...

English, the internet’s lingua franca, connects people from all over the world. According to estimates from W3Techs, more than half of all websites use English as their content language. While  English is in fact the best bet if you want to maximize your potential audience online, its global footprint is not as large as one might think. According to estimates ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have made what is in effect a very agile ruler using a novel sub-THz radar technique, and reported it last week at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference. Its 235GHz antennas and the core active components are integrated on a single IC, and across a desktop it measures the range to a target with sub-mm ...

While 5G has been available since 2019  we’re still in the early stages of the transition to 5G,  according  to estimates from Ericsson’s Mobility Report. The number of 5G smartphone subscriptions worldwide reached 1.5 billion by the end of 2023 and will be past two billion by the end of this year. That would mean 5G reaching that milestone quicker ...
