Introduction Power electronics play a crucial role in modern electrical engineering, essential for efficiently converting, controlling, and managing electrical power within circuits. These components are designed to handle high voltages, currents, powers, and temperatures, making them vital for various industries. Within power electronics, components are broadly categorized into passive components, such as power resistors, diodes, […]
ST’s LDH40and LDQ40 voltage regulators for automotive and industrial applications start-up from an input as low as 3.3V, operate with up to 40V applied, and have low quiescent current. The LDH40 delivers up to 200mA and is available in one version only, having adjustable output voltage from 1.2V to 22V. The 250mA LDQ40 is available […]
April 18, 2024 — STMicroElectronics releases regulators for automotive and industrial applications that can start from input voltages as low as 3.3V, operate at voltages up to 40V, and feature low quiescent current, the LDH40 and LDQ40. The LDH40 delivers up to 200mA and is available in one version only, having adjustable output voltage from […]
RC32312 and RC32308 “provide phase noise and jitter required to meet the needs of 112Gbit/s as well as 224Gbit/s SerDes designs using commonly-available 48MHz to 73MHz crystals”, claimed the company. “The devices can generate up to four frequency domains and offer integrated low-drop regulators with superior power supply rejection.” Clocks are available with 50fs rms […]
Here’s how you can add location tracking, without GPS, to the project for a smartwatch-like HID with keyboard and touchpad, which was published in March issue. Traditional GPS-based systems have limitations, especially indoors or in areas where signals are too weak or difficult to get due to obstructions. This is a novel approach to location […]
Dubbed AOZ1377DI, is can be used in both Sink and Source applications and it “offers features that significantly reduce voltage drop and power loss compared to back-to-back p-channel devices”, promises the company. Instead it uses a pair of internal drain-to-drain n-channel mosfets, whose gates are driven from a charge pump to a voltage above the […]
It enables small module designs with reduced component count for improved safety and electrification: high voltage interlocks, charging flaps, seatbelts, hood/trunk, gear tooth sensing, or brake-by-wire applications. For traditional safety automotive latches and switches, ranging from door and boot/trunk handles to seatbelts and brake light switches, the standard design uses a mechanical contact or […]
Mouser has entered into a distribution agreement with, Macronix, the Taiwanese flash manufacturer “Macronix’s world-class portfolio of unique, high-performance products aligns well with our line card and customer base,” says Mouser vp Kristin Schuetter. Mouser is stocking a wide range of Macronix memories. The MX25S 1.2V serial NOR flash offers ultra-low power consumption, effectively extending […]
“ICU-10201 offers the sensitivity required for obstacle avoidance or proximity sensing, which is used frequently in robotics, drones and robot vacuum cleaners,” according to the company. “The sensor provides millimeter-accurate range measurements to targets at distances up to 1.7m, in any lighting condition including full sunlight, independently of the target’s color and optical transparency, like […]
