To handle suitable sub-Thz frequencies, transmitter and receiver were made on a 130nm SiGe BiCMOS process using largely bipolar transistors in the RF paths.
PICMG releases COM-HPC specification
It defines five module sizes to deliver edge server performance for small, rugged data centres and embedded use.
120V dc-dc converter for spacecraft
Called the SA50-120 family and delivering up to 56W, the parts now cover the following outputs:
Five million cycles from clickier tactile push button
The part family is named KSC TE, with ‘TE’ standing for, well… “the Tireless Endurance name says it all”, said C&K product manger Regis Clement. “It is the combination of a soft actuator and a revised internal structure that enables the KSC TE to provide such high life cycles and reliability. We are the first to…
Time buffering in DIN rail modules maintains power
The modules charge and maintain batteries for the highest level of availability to ensure full power is always available to the load. Multi-stage charging adapts to the battery’s status, so even when close to 0V, the battery can be recharged for a full recovery. Components count is reduced, because availability means that power for the system…
Portal manages assets for efficient testing
Managers, test engineers and purchasing staff can use the online tool to access information about rental and purchase contracts, asset details and documentation as well as the asset’s location. Actions, such as extending rental contracts, requesting calibration and assigning assets to projects and cost centres, can be done online. Electro Rent says that the portal can…
NXP announces i.MX 9, and extends i.MX 8 with security and Microsoft Azure Sphere
According to the company: “Scalable i.MX 9 families bring together higher performance applications cores, an independent MCU-like real-time domain, state-of-the art security and dedicated multi-sensory data processing engines for graphics, image, display, audio and voice. i.MX 9 integrates hardware neural processing units for acceleration of machine learning applications.”
Farnell adds Rohde & Schwarz’s source measurement units for semiconductor and wireless comms testing
Farnell now offers the R&S NGU201 and R&S NGU401 for testing wireless communications and semiconductor testing, respectively.
Tattooable OLED anyone?
So much like a child’s transfer is it, that it is made on the same type of substrate and applied the same way: wet it, stick it, and peel off the backing paper.
Smarc 2.1 modules use NXP i.MX 8M for industrial edge applications
The modules feature four quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 based NXP i.MX 8M Plus processors. The processors integrate the neural processing unit (NPU), adding 2.3 TOPS of computational power for AI. An image signal processor for parallel real time processing of images and video streams, operating at up to 60 frames per second for video enhancement. The compute performance…
