How YMIN’s LKC Achieves Only 11.62% Capacitance Loss at -55 °C – Benchmarked Against Japanese and Taiwanese High-Voltage Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Dear fellow engineers, one of the most frustrating challenges in power supply design is when capacitors “let you down” due to severe capacitance degradation in low-temperature environments. Today, through a set of real comparative test data, we take a ...
The National University of Singapore and Politecnico di Torino teamed up at ISSCC 2021 to describe a capacitive sensor interface designed to run from harvested energy, needing only a supply voltage between 300mV and 1.8V to produce an output accurate to seven bits, and consuming 1.4nJ per conversion. Not only that, but it needs no trimming, reference voltage nor supply ...
Tyco Electronics has added a 10A version of its Corcom GG series general-purpose and HG series medical filtered power-entry modules.
A step-by-step guide to coping with diabolical trade-offs inherent in analogue switch design, by Philipe Pichot and Christopher Graves
Infineon, Siemens and the University of Bologna have teamed up to produce an all-electronic DNA analysis chip
Cars and the drive for miniaturisation are calling the tune in the capacitor market, says Mike Fitzpatrick
Tantalum is still the heavyweight of the capacitor market, but there are solid electrolyte components which make good substitutes depending on which application they are intended for. Bill Millman describes the alternatives With a volumetric density that is unrivalled, and a host of other advantages besides, tantalum capacitors have become a staple of a wide variety of designs, notably in ...
European mixed signal foundry X-Fab aims to sign further outsourcing deals, adding to those it has with Zarlink and Zilog. The firm has a business model that sees part of its revenue coming from deals with fabless chip firms and part from foundry services to IDMs. “We’re looking for further outsourcing deals,” confirmed Thomas Hartung, v-p of sales and marketing ...
