Cincon Electronics of Taiwan is aiming at railway applications with a 20W dc-dc converter that can run from between 10V and 160V. The series is suited for all kinds of voltage parameters in different regions because of its ultra-wide input voltage,” according to the company. “Since rail traffic will be exposed to a harsh environment for a long time, this ...

Getting ESD protection right for CAN-FD The expectations of travel and human interaction with vehicles is changing dramatically. As such, mega trends of increased connectivity, autonomous driving and electrification are pushing the evolution of automotive wiring harnesses and driving the growing demand for high-speed data transmission and bandwidth to realize advanced driver assistant systems. All of which needs to be ...

It is not often you see a new bipolar transistor introduced, and Nexperia has just revealed not just one, but nine of them. All in surface-mount DPAK (TO-252, SOT428C) packaging, they are intended for automotive (in AEC-Q101 qualified form) and industrial applications, and fill out the company’s MJD family to span 2 – 8A and 45 – 100V. The new parts ...

binder, the circular connector specialist, has announced M12 and M12 Power control cabinet feed-throughs, to help ensure a secure connection between modules in the cabinet and automation components in the field. Specifically, new control cabinet feed-through connectors will be available for the M12 product series 713, 813, 814, 823 and 824, which are available with different codings and pin counts. ...

XGS 16000 is a 16Mpixel global shutter image sensor for factory automation by On Semiconductor. Consuming 1W at 65frame/s, it fits into standard 29 x 29mm industrial cameras with C-Mount lenses  – it has a 1:1 square aspect ratio. It also shares a common architecture and footprint with other XGS CMOS image sensors, enabling users to create a single camera design ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) of Kent has introduced an 8in TFT display module from industrial display manufacturer Tianma. Part of Tianma’s professional (‘P’) series, P0800WVF1MA00 features WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, 15:9 aspect ratio and -30°C to +80°C operating range. “The Tianma P-series display line-up is designed for use in a wide range of human-machine interface applications where guaranteed, long-term operation ...

ABB has introduced a 60A dc-dc converter for 5G, IT and IIoT networking equipment that fits inside 3cm3. Branded MicroDLynx IITM, but numbered UJT060A0X43-SRPZ, the converters is 20.3 x 11.4 x 13mm. DC input voltage range is nominally 12V and can range across 7.5 to 14.4V. The non-isolated output is digitally controlled and set over PMBus between 500mV to 2.0V. It can also be ...

Stacked multi-layer polymer (MLP) film capacitors from Paktron Capacitors are now available from distributor New Yorker Electronics, following a distribution agreement between the two companies. Paktron’s range of low ESR MLP capacitors, metalised polypropylene capacitors and film/foil polypropylene capacitors will be available at some of the shortest lead times available today, says New Yorker Electronics. Paktron Capacitors holds over 75 ...

TI is aiming at high-speed factory automation and robotics with an all-real-time branch of its Sitara microcontroller family tree. Called the AM2x series, the MCUs have multiple Arm Cortex-Rx real-time cores and, unlike other Sitara devices, no Cortex-Ax application processors. The first members available will be numbered AM243x (see diagram) and have 800MHz Cortex-R5F cores. “The AM2x family only features ...

STMicroelectronics has created a 5W dc-dc buck converter IC that produces a regulated non-isolated output plus one or more transformer-coupled isolated outputs. The isolated secondary voltage is governed by the transformer turns ratio – no optocoupler is needed. “Common uses include powering gate drivers for SiC mosfets and IGBTs that require asymmetrical isolated power rails, and powering isolated interfaces such as ...
