Google has updated Flutter – its mobile UI toolkit for creating embedded graphic components from a single codebase via native Arm code – to version 3.13. The latest release sees performance improvements to its Impeller graphics renderer, APIs for foldable devices (for example, reporting the physical size, the device pixel ratio, and the refresh rate of the display), supporting wide-gamut ...

E-peas has created a power IC that can mediate between two energy harvesters, a 5V charger, a power store and a load. AEM13920 can work from any combination of two sources including: photo-voltaic cells, thermo-electric generators, RF energy harvesters or kinetic pulsed sources. “For instance, a remote control could have separate PV cells on its front and rear, to maintain ...

Powell Electronics has announced that will be stocking a second generation  of GDBC (Gigalane direct board contact) one-piece contacts from Gigalane. The “contacts are easy to use in the assembly as they require no SMT”, said Powell. Instead, the connector is installed in the face of an assembly, and then pushed face-down onto the PCB to make coaxial contact – ...

Infineon recently released 650V H variants of its gen 7 IGBTs, without a lot of detail on how they differ from the rest of gen 7, so Electronics Weekly got in touch. H brings the total to three gen 7 classes in two voltage ranges: H7 in 650V and 1.2kV, T7 in in 650V and 1.2kV, and S7 in 1.2kV. ...

Bel Fuse is aiming at railways and transportation with a series of dual-output dc-dc converters. RCM300 converters can deliver ±24V at 300W, with the two outputs independently regulated to deal with asymmetric loads. There are two types to cover different input ranges: 24Vdc nominal with a range of 16.8 to 45V (14.4 to 52.5V short term) 110Vdc nominal with a ...

Cherry has announced quieter operation amongst other up-grades to its long-running MX series of keyboard switches, with the introduction of MX2A types. At the same time, it revealed a keyboard, Xtrfy K5V2, built with the switches. The original gold cross-point contacts are retained and changes are largely details, with, for example. a move from cylindrical spring to an barrel spring to ...

Users can add un-supported MCUs to Segger’s range of in-circuit programmers following the introduction of its ‘flasher device support kit’. “Customers have the flexibility to add new devices when required, on their own timeline, independent of Segger,” said company founder Rolf Segger. “They can work with Segger to get their devices supported, or simply do it themselves, even for devices ...

Google is extending its MediaPipe on-device machine learning system to support the Raspberry Pi, enabling – for example – audio classification, face landmark detection, and natural language processing tasks. Back in May, Google initially released MediaPipe for Android, web, and Python (‘MediaPipe Solutions for On-Device Machine Learning’, to give it its full name). The tools aim to provide “no-code to ...

Harwin has added four height options to its multi-directional spring contact range, which now spans from 4 to 10mm. “Although there are already many spring contacts that are suitable for vertical compression applications, it is less common to find parts that can also allow horizontal operation, Support for multi-directional operation is therefore appealing,” according to the company. The new parts ...

Rohm has developed Hall-based magnetic detectors for vehicle use. BD5310xG-CZ types are momentary (dubbed ‘unipolar’): turning on above a fixed south pole magnetic flux density and turning off below the same threshold (with a small amount of hysteresis) BD5410xG-CZ types are latching: turning on above a fixed south pole flux density, then remaining on until an equal north pole flux ...
