Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a series of surface-mount bidirectional transient voltage suppressors in SMC (DO-214AB) packaging for automotive, industrial and telecom use. Surge capability is 3kW at 10/1,000μs to meet the specifications of ISO 16750-2 Pulse b. Called the SMC3KxxxCAHM3_A series, leakage current can be as low as 1μA from 22 to 120V, and operatioj is up to 175°C. For high reliability, ...

Seco has introduced a COM Express Type 6 Compact Module and a 3.5inch single board computer built around 11th Gen Intel Core processors – also known as Tiger Lake UP3. “11th Gen Core processors combine CPU/GPU engines with integrated artificial intelligence acceleration and deep learning capabilities in a low power processing platform, built on Intel third-generation 10nm process technology,” according ...

Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) is the subject of a webinar to be hosted by Digi-Key Electronics, in partnership with SparkFun, Würth Elektronik, Harting and Analog Devices. The title is “Remotely Monitor Equipment in a Challenging Environment with Single-Pair Ethernet” and the webinar will run on Wednesday, June 8, at 11 a.m. (CDT). It will cover SPE’s benefits – to acquire and ...

Vox Power has added more voltage options to its medical and industrial VCCS300 fan-less 300W power supplies. Standard outputs are now 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, 48 or 56Vdc, and custom versions between 12 and 58V can be arranged. The 54 x 101 x 40mm (4 x 2 x 1.61 inch) power supplies will run from ac voltages between 85 and ...

Digi-Key Electronics, along with Texas Instruments, is hosting a webinar about isolated USB repeaters, titled ‘Enhanced Protection with TI’s new Isolated Repeaters’. Taking place on Tuesday 24 May 24, at 11 a.m. (CDT), it will demonstrate how to improve both performance and protection in harsh environments with high-speed isolated USB repeaters. Specifically, how it’s possible to meet emission requirements in ...

Infineon has released a pair of high power IGBTs, both blocking 4.7kV, in ceramic PPI (press pack IGBT) packaging. The 125mm pole piece diameter housing is hermetically sealed and specifically designed to withstand system-induced failures. “This PPI is specifically designed for transmission and distribution applications, and is ideal for high current MMCs [modular multi-level converters], medium voltage drives, dc breakers, ...

Rohm revealed details of its fourth generation of silicon carbide mosfets at PCIM in Nurembeg, claiming up to 50% lower switching loss and 40 % reduction of on-resistance compared to its earlier parts, without sacrificing short-circuit ruggedness. They are all trench types and have more flexible gate drive requirements than before – operating at 15 – 18V, with support for ...

U-blox has announced a radio module supporting Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth low energy 5.2 and IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread and Zigbee) that occupies only 10.4 x 14.3 x 1.9mm. “Wi-Fi 6, also referred to as 802.11ax, offers better network efficiency – especially in congested areas, lower latency and improved range over previous Wi-Fi standards,” said U-blox. “Thread paves the way for low-power IP-based mesh ...

Analog Devices has introduced a 24bit 2Msample/s dual-channel SAR analogue to digital converter, branding it ‘Easy Drive’ for its front end. “Our Easy Drive feature is to eliminate in most cases the need for a dedicated buffer amplifier – a user is still free to use a buffer, but it is not a requirement,” the company told Electronics Weekly. “Easy Drive is ...

NXP is claiming first, for a microcontroller that includes a Gbit time-sensitive networking switch and traditional industrial busses for industrial IoT. Called i.MX RT1180, the family can handle real-time industrial ethernet protocols such as Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, CC-Link IE Field and HSR, as well as TSN standards compliant to IEC 60802. Protocols include OPC UA Pub-Sub, Profinet over TSN and CC-Link ...
