Toshiba’s TPHR6704RL is a 40V, 0.67mΩ N-channel MOSFET aiming yo to improve efficiency for industrial power supplies. It uses U-MOS11-H technology, highlights Toshiba, to deliver ultra-low on-resistance, fast switching and improved EMI performance in switched-mode power supplies. For example, by minimising voltage spikes generated between the drain and source during switching. TPHR6704RL The company writes: “By adopting the U-MOS11-H process, ...

The date is fast approaching for the Women Leaders In Electronics Awards 2026 in central London: Wednesday 29 April, at One Moorgate Place. It’s time to secure your seat at the event that recognises and showcases women’s work and impact in the electronics industry! As well as the awards themselves, of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for industry ...

As collaborative robots (cobots) are increasingly deployed alongside human operators, their system architectures continue to evolve toward higher integration, reduced size and greater modularity. These trends place growing demands on interconnect design, as connectors must deliver stable electrical performance while accommodating motion, vibration, assembly tolerance and long-term mechanical stress within confined spaces. Unlike conventional industrial robots, cobots typically employ lightweight ...

Tria Technologies, the embedded compute board specialist, is expanding operating system support across its Qualcomm-based hardware. Yocto Linux, Windows 11 IoT, and Android are all now available, it announces. Android 16 Specifically, for Android, while support for version 13 of the OS is currently available, Android 16 is planned for Q4 2026, says Tria. The release brings mobile capabilities to ...

Mistral AI, the French AI developer, says it has taken on debt of $830 million to run a datacentre. The datacentre, at Bruyeres-le-Chatel near Paris, is used to train of AI models using 13,800 Nvidia GB300 AI ICs, with operations expected to start in Q2. The $830 million has been borrowed from a consortium of banks including: HSBC, Mitsubishi UFJ, ...

OQ Technology, a Luxembourg-based satellite operator pioneering 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity through its direct-to-device (D2D) global satellite  network, has launched two satellites – ERMIS-1 and ERMIS-2 – aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-16 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The satellites were  deployed into low Earth orbit (LEO)  and will now begin initial commissioning and in-orbit testing. ERMIS-1 and ERMIS-2 are ...

Weebit Nano has raised $56 million in a share placement plus a non-underwritten placement to raise up to $6.5 million. Weebit will issue 19.8 million new securities representing about 19.4% of the company’s issued capital at $2.60 each and for the non-underwritten placement will issue 2.5 million new securities, representing about 1.2% of the company’s issued capital, also at the ...

Foundry 2.0, a motley collection of pure-play foundry, non-memory IDM, OSAT and photomask fabrication companies, is set to grow 17% this year to over $360 billion, says  IDC’s latest Global Semiconductor Supply Chain Tracking Intelligence. Advanced node foundry is benefiting from strong demand from AI GPU and ASIC customers. TSMC, has raised its 3nm monthly capacity target to 165,000 wafers ...

Infineon has brought out  a high‑current‑density quad‑phase power module with TLVR (trans‑inductor voltage regulator) inductors to meet the power demand of advanced AI data centers. The TDM24745T is a new OptiMOS quad‑phase power module designed to meet the rapidly growing power requirements of next‑generation AI accelerators. Integrating four power stages, a TLVR inductor and decoupling capacitors into a compact 9 ...
