March 18, 2024 — TDK Corporation recently announced the expansion of its Micronas 3D HAL® position sensor family with the launch of the HAR 3920-2100, a new dual-chip sensor for automotive and industrial applications. It was designed to meet the demand for highly accurate both linear and angular position measurements in the presence of disturbing […]
Laser beam incident on the structured droplet sets up plasma waves (blue pulses) that accelerates electrons (green solid spheres) to megaelectronvolt energies. Credit: Adapted from Communications Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s42005-024-01550-8 In massive particle accelerators, sub-atomic particles (like electrons) are sped up to super-high speeds comparable to the speed of light towards a target surface. The […]
In this article by Murray Slovick for TTI Inc, the pressing issue of semiconductor counterfeiting is highlighted, revealing a global risk that threatens electronics supply chains, exacerbated by chip shortages. Looking at solutions like Physically Unclonable Functions, Quantum Dots, and AI, the article delves into cutting-edge technologies aimed at combating this growing threat. For […]
March 14, 2024 — Infineon Technologies AG recently launched the new CoolSiC™ MOSFET 2000 V in the TO-247PLUS-4-HCC package to meet designers’ demand for increased power density without compromising the system’s reliability even under demanding high voltage and switching frequency conditions. The CoolSiC MOSFETs offer a higher DC link voltage so that the power can […]
This design for analog chips, which marries the precision of digital systems with the speed and energy efficiency of analog technology, holds promise for transforming data processing in autonomous vehicles, AI, and beyond. Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have made a significant advancement in analog computing, potentially revolutionising the way data is […]
The launch season for Apple’s latest devices also significantly contributed, fueling shipments for the A17 chipset and associated peripheral ICs, including OLED DDIs, CIS, and PMICs. TSMC’s premium 3nm process notably enhanced its revenue contribution, pushing its global market share past the 60% threshold this quarter. Last year the foundry market suffered a 13.6% fall […]
The partnership emphasizes the critical importance of aligning all system components, energy harvesting, power management and storage, to ensure optimal system performance. Recognizing that the efficiency of a system cannot be judged by its individual parts alone, the focus is on the combined operation of all elements. By combining e-peas’ specialized knowledge in PMICs with […]
The chips reduce timing jitter to 15 femtoseconds making the signals more stable and precise in ways that could increase radar sensitivity, the accuracy of ADCs and the clarity of astronomical images captured by groups of telescopes. Researchers have taken what was once a tabletop-size system and shrunk much of it into a chip, about […]
They are ABLIC’s first secondary protection ICs with an integrated cascade function that can reduce the number of components required for monitoring of batteries with 6 or more serially connected cells by approximately 30% compared to conventional products. When an overcharge occurs, a signal from the secondary protection IC causes the fuse to blow and […]
