Embedded World: Adapter board sets the stage for LED design
Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet specific applications, using the manufacturer’s graphic user interface (GUI). LEDs are individually addressable chips for colour and driver selection. The LEDs can be used for interior and ambient ...
Embedded World: PIC32 with high-end analogue
Microchip has added high-performance analogue blocks to its PIC32 MCUs: 12bit 40Msample/s ADCs, 5ns comparators and 100MHz GBW (gain.bandwidth) op-amps. There are implemented in in the new 32bit 200MHz PIC32A family. On top of the analogue blocks are hardware safety and security features such as ECC (error code correction) on flash and ram, built-in memory self-test, IO integrity monitoring, clock ...
Embedded World: Profinet IRT and ProfiDrive stack for Renesas MCUs
Aiming at industrial networking, Renesas introduced a Profinet-certified IRT (isochronous real-time) and Profidrive software stack for some of its RZmicroprocessors today at Embedded World in Nuremberg. Initially, the stack is for the RZ/T2M servo motor control MCU and the RZ/N2L industrial internet gateway MCU. Binary versions are available for evaluation, and licenses for commercial come directly from Renesas. Read all ...
TDK shrinks 500V gate drive transformers to 11 x 13mm
TDK has shrunk its 500V gate drive transformers to 11 x 13mm and 11mm high, smaller than its existing E10EM series. The new parts, called the EP9 series and aimed at both IGBTs and mosfets, are built on a MnZn ferrite core with surface-mount L-pin construction. Creepage and clearance is 5mm, peak withstanding is 2.5kVac 50Hz, and coupling capacitance is ...
Embedded World: COM-HPC Mini modules with Intel Gen 13 Core H, P or U
Tria Technologies is launching COM-HPC Mini computer modules at Embedded World next week. At there heart are Intel 13th generation Core H, P or U series processors, enabling “system designers to pick from a variety of energy efficient and performance options scaling up to fourteen cores and twenty threads at 15 to 35W thermal design power”, according to Tria. Alongside ...
Atom x7211RE industrial PC is only 100mm across
Advantech has put Intel’s Atom x7211RE at the center of an industrial PC measuring only 100 x 70 x 40mm. Called UNO-2271G V3, its dual-core processor is supported by 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 ram, plus options of 64Gbyte eMMC non-volatile storage and an M.2 B+M key 2242 (SATA/PCIe) slot. Windows 11 LTSC or Ubuntu 22.04 are the favoured operating systems. Standard ...
Charcroft Electronics acquires Sensor Techniques
The range of load cells and strain gauges available from Charcroft Electronics has increased with the acquisition of Sensor Techniques. Charcroft is a privately-owned, distributor and manufacturer of electronic components, including passive, interconnect, electromechanical and optoelectronic components, load cells and strain gauges, power supplies and rugged semiconductors. Sensor Techniques is a distributor of load cells and strain gauges for use ...
Small circular connector for Cat 5e industrial Ethernet
Hirose has created a circular connector for Cat-5e Ethernet in tough environments. HR22K is metal, and has push-on bayonet-lock operation with an audible click to indicate retention – rotate the sleeve to release. For an idea of size, see photo, the outside diameter of the sleeve is 21mm and the panel-mounting part has an M17 x 0.75mm nut. Sealing once ...
19mm force sensor measures up to 45N
Megatron has launched a family of diminutive force sensors for industrial use. Measuring 19 x 16 x 5mm (sensor only), KM019 comes in three versions: 0 to 10N, 0 to 20N or 0 to 45N. Tension or compression is applied through a pair of 4-40 UNC threaded holes in the two opposing 16 x 5mm faces – see below for ...
