“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
April 12, 2024 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently introduced four new series of surface-mount industrial-grade TRANSZORB® and Automotive Grade PAR® transient voltage suppressors (TVS) in the low profile DFN3820A package with wettable flanks. Providing space-saving solutions for automotive, computer, consumer, and industrial applications, the 6DFNxxA, 6DFNxxxCA, T6NxxA, and T6NxxxCA offer peak pulse power of 600 W at 10/1000 μs and low leakage […]
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 […]
