Toshiba has launched the ST2000JXH35A, a new 6500V/2000A press pack injection enhanced gate transistor (IEGT) designed for high-voltage converters used in DC power transmission systems, industrial motor-drive equipment, and static synchronous compensators (STATCOM). The device uses trench-type IEGT ICs with an optimised cell structure to deliver high turn-off capability and robust short-circuit withstand performance. These technical enhancements enable the device to ...
TDK is expanding its NTCSP series of NTC thermistor components with two new options. For temperature detection and temperature compensation, they are primarily aimed at automotive power modules. For example, applications such anti‑lock braking systems (ABS), transmissions, and engines. As mentioned, there are two further variations in the series: NTCSP163JF103FT1H and NTCSP164KF104FT1H. They differ on resistance and the B constant ...
The AOTL037V60DE2, a 600V mosfet from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS), is its first high-voltage product to use the company’s αMOS E2 600V Super Junction MOSFET platform. Addressing high efficiency and high-power density demands, targets a range of applications. For example, including servers, workstations, telecom rectifiers, solar inverters, motor drives, and industrial power systems. AOTL037V60DE2 The AOTL037V60DE2 is available in ...
Imec has unveiled a 7‑bit, 175GS/s ADC that combines a record-small footprint (250 x 250µm²) and low conversion energy with one of the fastest sampling speeds ever reported. As such, the ADC meets the rapidly increasing throughput and processing demands of AI- and cloud-driven datacentres, without the area and power explosion typically seen at ultra-high sampling rates. Driven by AI and ...
With 4V minimum operating voltage, ST’s VNQ9050LAJ 4-channel automotive high-side driver powers through disturbances including extreme cold cranking operation down to 2.7V. This resilience when exposed to severe transients meets the latest version of LV124, the automotive industry’s quality standard for electrical and electronic components. Designed to power 12V ground-connected loads, the VNQ9050LAJ is compatible with 3V and 5V logic ...
Lacuna Space, the Satellite IoT specialist, is opening up LoneWhisper for wider, third-party collaboration. LoneWhisper is its LoRa over satellite D2D (direct-to-device) network. The aim is to enable other operators and agencies to plug into the company’s global platform. One early adopter it cites is the Portuguese fiber network operator dstelecom. LoneWhisper Lacuna highlights that much of the world remains ...
MatrixSpace is widening its portable drone detection portfolio with the launch of MatrixSpace Fusion 360. The system looks to fuse radar, optical, and RF/Remote ID sensor data into a unified view – the company describes it as its multi-sensor device. Unified According to MatrixSpace, this reduces false alarms while improving identification of smaller devices. For example, low-flying, and evasive drones. ...
A Quantum-safe test bed has opened in Quebec, Canada, at the Université Laval’s Centre for Optics, Photonics and Lasers and the National Optics Institute. The Kirq test bed simulates a real-world environment to test quantum-secure technologies, identify vulnerabilities in existing networks and assess solutions before they are deployed at scale. Quebec-based non-profit organisation for large-scale digital innovation Numana invested $2m ...
Silanna Semiconductor is announcing its FirePower laser firing system ICs are now available in production quantities. They aim at LiDAR and rangefinder applications. Specifically, there is the SL2001 (above) and SL2002, and both have their own evaluation kits (SL2001 EVK, SL2002 EVK). The company highlights they combine resonant capacitor charging and high-current laser diode firing on a single device. This ...
The R&S FPL1044 spectrum analyser sees Rohde & Schwarz expanding its portfolio of mid-range instruments. There’s also a new 40 MHz real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) option for its entire FPL family. The new model offers a DC coupling option, expanding the measurable frequency range to start from 10 Hz. Applications include testing satellite and radar systems and components. Also, the ...
