The latest news, developments and announcements from around the electronics industry.
A 3D-printed component significantly reduces energy consumption for cooling in datacentres. The Danish Technological Institute has developed and tested a 3D-printed cooling component for data centers and high-performance computers. The solution uses passive two-phase cooling and achieved a cooling capacity of 600 watts in tests – 50 percent more than the original target of 400 watts.. The component is produced ...
Synopsys has sold its Processor IP Solutions business to GlobalFoundries for an undisclosed sum. It follows the MIPS acquisition in August, which added its Risc-V IP software and tools to the foundry’s services. The Synopsys Processor IP Solutions business includes ARC-V (Risc-V) and ARC CPU IP, DSP IP, NPU (network processing unit) IP, software development tools, including ARC MetaWare development ...
Quectel has introduced its SH602HA-AP computing module aimed at powering robotic devices, for example humanoid robots, wheel-arm robots, quadruped robots, or service companion robots. It is based on the Sunrise 5 (X5M) SoC from D-Robotics and features the Ubuntu operating system (Ubuntu 22.04). The company says the module delivers up to 10 TOPs of “brain processing units” (BPU) computing power. ...
TSMC had Q4 profit up 35% YoY at $16 billion on revenue of $33 billion and full year revenue of over $100 billion for the first time. TSMC expects revenue growth of around 30% this year and has budgeted $52-56 billion for capex. “You’re trying to ask us whether AI demand is real or not. I’m also very nervous about ...
Q4 PC shipments grew 9.6% YoY reaching 76.4 million units, according the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker. The end of support for Windows 10 drove a wave of upgrade demand, and early year tariff concerns prompted vendors to pull forward more inventory than originally planned. While the holiday season typically drives stronger demand, the surge in late 2025 ...
Since the early 2000s, UWB technology has gradually found its way into a variety of commercial applications that require secure and fine ranging capabilities. Well-known examples are hands-free entry solutions for cars and buildings, locating assets in warehouses, hospitals, and factories, and navigation support in large spaces like airports and shopping malls. A characteristic of UWB wireless signal transmission is ...
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) continues to surge, supporting both residential and enterprise connectivity due to its ease of deployment along with the more widespread availability of 4G LTE and 5G Sub-6GHz networks, says Dell’Oro. FWA revenues, including RAN equipment, residential CPE, and enterprise router and gateway revenue grew at around 10% last year as mobile operators continued to expand the ...
Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared sensors, says its Noiseless InGaAs infrared sensors, are being evaluated for use in premium hunting and professional shooting optics. Designed to detect extremely faint infrared signals around 1550 nm, Phlux’s InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD) technology delivers an order of magnitude higher sensitivity than conventional near‑infrared detectors. This leap in performance, first ...
Littelfuse has launched two omnipolar magnetic switches, the LF21173TMR and LF21177TMR. The devices combine Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) and CMOS technologies in a compact LGA4 package. Designed for operation across the voltage range 1.8 V–5.5 V, the LF21173TMR and LF21177TMR support multiple magnetic thresholds, enabling flexible integration into space-constrained applications such as smart meters, electronic locks, medical devices, and portable consumer electronics. Compared with conventional Hall-effect ...
Murata has opened its RFID Innovation & Experience Hub in Parma, Italy. The laboratory is dedicated to IoT and RFID technology. The company describes it as a cutting-edge environment for housing demonstrations, testing, workshops and research. RFID Innovation For example, there will be detailed RFID demonstrations tailored to specific sectors, such as fashion and apparel, automotive, and healthcare. As well ...
