Novocomms, the RF antenna design and manufacturing specialist, has unveiled NovoSat – a lightweight, dual-port, L Band antenna. Featuring high performance GNSS capability, the company highlights, it is also described as being ideal for high density environments, “urban canyons” and rugged terrains. The company writes: “The new antenna also performs well in poor weather conditions, thanks to its high gain, ...

Texas Instruments has announced a series of GaN power switches for ac-dc and dc-dc converters that include an integrated driver, protection and current sense emulation. The parts, called LMG362x, differ in the size of the GaN hemt switch included. They are: LMG3622 650V120mΩ 8.5A LMG3624 650V 170mΩ 6A LMG3626 650V 270mΩ 3.6A “Using the LMG3622 only requires setting the desired ...

Kvaser has created an M.2 slot compatible board that can add four CAN or CAN FD interfaces to a PC or computer Called ‘M.2 PCIe 4xCAN’ (and also 01333-9), it works with PCI Express M.2 slots with B or M keying. It has a main 22 x 80 x 2mm M.2 main board, and four smaller satellite boards (see images) ...

Rohm has developed a 120W 905nm infra-red laser diode for lidar. Called RLD90QZW8, “original technology allows Rohm to reduce the temperature dependence of the laser wavelength to just Δ11.6nm – 0.10nm/°C”, said the company. “This makes it possible to narrow the bandpass filter while extending the detection range.” 120W is at 38A where the diode drops 13V (50ns pulses, 0.05% ...

Infineon has created a 10Gbit/s USB peripheral controller, intended to be used in devices that connect to a host via USB-C. Called CYUSB4014-BZXI, it has an Arm Cortex-M4 processing core, a Cortex-M0+, 1,024kbyte of ram and 512kbyte of flash. Alongside USB-C, it has LVDS, LVCMOS and QSPI serial interfaces, and a crypto processor. This is actually one of four in ...

AMD is aiming at industrial automation with its latest embedded processor series, as well as machine vision, robotics and edge servers. The series has on-board graphics and “because embedded applications require additional operating system software options, Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors include support for both Windows Server and Linux Ubuntu, on top of Windows 10 and Windows 11”, according to ...

5G services enhance safety and convenience in connected vehicles – but rely on a reliable connection. A project at the University of Warwick is dedicated to making sure cars and equipment are 5G-ready. The way cars are designed, made and used should significantly change with 5G connectivity. Critical properties include low latency, real-time determinism, the ability to handle large quantities ...

Distributor, Telonic Instruments has introduced the SDS7000A range of oscilloscopes. The Siglent range is designed for acquisition and analysis of high frequency complex signals for telecomms, high speed digital and wireless technologies development. The SAS7000A oscilloscopes offer 12-bit vertical resolution that not only enables the precise imaging of high-frequency signals, but also offers fine differentiation in vertical detection, said Telonic. ...

LEDlenser has created a range of LED work torches for peering into electrical cabinets, amongst other applications. “Depending on the job at hand, professionals expect different things from their work lights: selectable colour temperature and higher colour rendering indices help electrical contractors test cables, the automotive mechatronics sector needs lamps with plane heads to light up hard-to-reach places,” according to ...

NXP has introduced an intelligent automotive RF IC that can implement automatic vehicle unlocking and short-range in-cabin radar, for example. “This enables OEMs to transform a single UWB-based car access system into a flexible, multi-purpose platform, enabling multiple use cases with the same hardware – for example, OEMs can leverage their secure car access system to also deliver features like ...
