Texas Instruments has introduced two 40ns comparitors with push-pull outputs – rather than open-drain outputs. TLV3214-Q1 is a quad with automotive qualification TLV3211 is a single for industrial use Operation is across 1.8 to 5.5V, and -40 to +125°C. Inputs are rail-to-rail, plus 200mV above and below, and maximum input offset is ±5mV across temperature at 5V (±1mV typically). This ...

Innatera and 42T hook up for anomaly detection and condition monitoring
Innatera, the Dutch specialist in neuromorphic processors for ultra-low-power intelligence at the sensor edge, and 42 Technology (42T), a UK-based product development and manufacturing innovation consultancy, are partnering to accelerate neuromorphic adoption in consumer, industrial, and manufacturing applications. By combining Innatera’s spiking neural processors with 42T’s experience in complex industrial systems, the collaboration will focus on developing edge AI solutions ...
CDS releases touchscreen displays powered for on-device AI functions
The Nebula AI series of touchscreen displays by Glory Star is now available from Crystal Display Systesm (CDS). Three sizes are offered – 10.1, 15.6 and 21.5-inch. They are powered by quad-core Cortex-A72/Cortex-A53 CPUs for multi-tasking and inference applications and have an integrated 6TOPS neural processing unit (NPU) for AI operations such as facial recognition, object tracking, text-to-speech and posture ...
Choosing the right edge AI for an application
Distributors can play a key role in helping engineering teams discover and evaluate new solutions: from concept to production, says Alex Iuorio. The technology behind edge AI is not a simple plug-in upgrade. The applications that use edge AI (and there are few that can’t) are using it in their own way. Distributors understand these disruptions and the key applications ...
SPS 2025: Raptor Lake industrial PCs
At SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, Kontron is announcing a series of industrial PCs based on Raptor Lake 13th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 mobile processors up to 45W, which have up to six ‘performance’ cores and eight ‘efficient’ cores. “These processors offer impressive computing power, making them the ideal basis for demanding real-time applications, machine learning or processing ...
Nano-ITX embedded computer boards
Portwell has chosen Intel Core 3 Processor N355 to be the CPU behind a series of 120 x 120mm Nano-ITX embedded computer boards for edge computing, automation and signage. Sharing the same NANO-6065 series name, there are two other boards: one with a Processor N150 and the other with an Atom x7835RE. “Its processor options allow system designers to tailor ...
56A minimalist blade socket has three entry directions
Rutronik has announced a 56A rated minimalist PCB-mount socket range that accepts 4.8 x 8mm blade plugs from three different directions. Made by Lumberg and with the base part number ‘4580 01’ it is “a solution for reliable power transmission and is suitable for operating from -40°C to +120°C”, according to Rutronik. “Certified according to LV 215 and VW 80332 ...
1,000W 1/16th brick dc-dc converter
TDK has introduced higher-power versions of its i7 range of 1/16 brick dc-dc converters, culminating in the 1,000W I7A24080A033V. This converter measures ~34 x 37 x 20mm tall and can deliver up to 80A at 3.3 to 18V so long as the power limit is not passed. The input is nominally 24Vdc, and can range across 18 – 32V. There ...
GaN mains PSUs cleared for medical and industrial
XP Power has launched a host of GaN-based plug-in ac-dc power supplies rated between 65W and 140W. The basic types are: PGW65 wall-mount 65W (0.37W/cm3 – 6.06W/in3) PGW100 wall-mount 100W (0.53W/cm3 – 8.72W/in3) PGD100 corded 100W (0.48W/cm3 – 7.93W/in3) PGD140 corded 140W (0.55W/cm3 – 9.0W/in3) They “are designed to conform to the Power Delivery protocol and are ideal for industrial ...
IP67 rear-mount FAKRA connectors
Amphenol has introduced a series of IP67 waterproof rear-mount FAKRA coax connectors for panels in industrial and automotive environments. There are four versions to cover four coax cables: TFC 302LL, RG-174, RG-58 or LMR-195. Within these versions, there are 10 keying patterns, each with its own insulator colour for easy identification, and also each with a nominated use: for example ...
