Signals in the mmWave range require extra care and more expensive components than at sub-6 GHz frequencies. Data demands keep pushing for more bandwidth in wireless networks, and this trend will surely continue. AI, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR, and other technologies will see to that. The mmWave spectrum allocated for 5G can meet the bandwidth needs, […]
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 22, 2024 — Renesas Electronics Corporation today expanded its timing solutions portfolio with a new ultra-low 25fs-rms clock solution for wireline infrastructure, data center and industrial applications. The new FemtoClock™ 3 family includes ultra-low jitter clock generators and jitter attenuators with 8 and 12 outputs, enabling high-performance, easy-to-use, and cost-effective clock tree designs for next-generation, […]
“The gate driver IC offers functional safety according to ISO 26262 ASIL B,” according to Infineon. “It has a range of protection functions such as timeout-watchdog, drain-source monitoring, over-voltage, under-voltage, cross-current and over-temperature protection, as well as off-state diagnostics.” Called TLE9140, it can operate with supplies across 8V to 60V, or up to 75V with […]

The LDH40 delivers up to 200mA and is available in one version only, having adjustable output voltage from […]
Key Things to Know: Technology Overview: Understand the fundamental differences between Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT) and how they impact the assembly of electronic components on PCBs. Production Efficiency: Explore how SMT can enhance production speed by up to 25% and reduce costs by 30%, making it a preferable option for mass […]
The PCB pins are all press-fit, while the pogo pins are through-hole, surface-mount or wire-mount. All come under its CPG… part number family. “The CPG family of pogo and PCB pins offers gold plated contacts for high reliability as well as a variety of pin sizes and configurations to meet an array of interconnect needs,” […]
More recently, physics-based reliability prediction has related failure rates of electronic assemblies to the magnitude of temperature change over an operational cycle (power-on, power-off, power-on…) and rate of temperature change, both of which are influenced by steady-state operating temperature. Electronics failures are often attributed to solder joint fatigue at the package-board interconnect. In some applications, […]
“Electronic design automation (EDA) continued to report strong revenue growth in Q4 2023,” said Wally Rhines, Executive Sponsor of the SEMI Electronic Design Market Data report. “The Computer-Aided Engineering, Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module, Semiconductor Intellectual Property, and Services categories reported double-digit growth. Further, all geographic regions reported substantial growth.” The companies tracked in […]
