Infineon has introduced a ~10 x 20mm antenna-inclusive Bluetooth 5.0 (core spec) module that consumes 1.3mA receiving (-95dBm) and 3mA transmitting (0dBm). Called CYW20822-P4TAI040, it sleeps at 2μA when retaining 32kbyte of ram, or hibernates at 800nA – the latter rising to 950nA hibernating with the wake-up receiver enabled. At maximum transmit power (+4dBm) up to 250m of range can be ...

CUI Devices has added M5 connectors and M5 cable assemblies to its product range. “CDM5 family offers a range of male or female jack or plug versions with 3 or 4 pins,” according to the company. “These connectors and cables are all A coded to support 1Gbit/s Ethernet, while carrying IP67 ratings [once mated] to deal with environments found in ...

Review Display Systems is stocking a pair of industrial mini-STX (140 x 148mm) motherboards from Kontron, built around Intel Alder Lake-N processors with in-built graphics. K3921-N (pictured) has two DisplayPort v1.4, one DisplayPort via front USB type-C, an embedded DisplayPort and a dual-channel 24bit LVDS interface. A total of two 4K UHD and one FHD can be driven. There are ...

NXP has fleshed out the MCX A microcontroller series it announced in 2022. The ‘A’ series is the lower-cost branch of the MCX family, and like other MCX MCUs, the devices are built around an Arm Cortex-M33 core – this is the security-enabled M3. The first parts are MCX A14x (48MHz core) and MCX A15x (96MHz core), which come in ...

ABB has created a liquid cooled synchronous reluctance motor series that achieves IEC international efficiency class 5 (IE5). It brands its synchronous reluctance motors ‘SynRM’, and is offering liquid-cooled versions across 37 to 710kW (400V in IEC 200-315 frame sizes (aluminum, steel on request). “A major advantage of the IE5 SynRM liquid-cooled motors is that they are much more efficient ...

Rohm has added a lineup of 600V super-junction mosfets in 6.5 x 7 x 1.66mm SOT-223-3 packaging. “In recent years, power supplies for lighting and motors for pumps are required to be smaller as devices become more sophisticated – spurring the demand for compact mosfets that are essential for switching operation,” said the company. “Generally, however, it has been difficult ...

Novosense Microelectronics has created a pair of isolated digital input chips suitable for 24V industrial control applications that only need power on the output side. 4-channel NSI8604 (SSOP16 package) and 8-channel NSI8608 (SSOP20) provide input/output isolation when converting voltages in the range of -60V to 60V to logic signals. (The third digit is a capital ‘i’, not a numerical ‘1’). ...

Advantech has announced a fan-less edge computer for kiosks and robotics, built around Intel’s 12th and 13th generation Core ix desktop processors up to 35W. ARK-3533, as it will be known, measures 200 x 75 x 215mm and workd from 9 – 36Vdc/ It “has a shock-resistant design that can also withstand temperatures from -20 to 60°C,” according to the ...

Teledyne has introduced a high-voltage connector system for use up to 13.5kV and 70,000 feet (21km) altitude. Called DHM, they use the company’s self-contained ‘Hi/Mate’ inserts, pre-wired inside sub-D housings and back-shells – they are only available made-up onto cables. “These inserts leverage Teledyne’s advanced interface sealing system, rendering them suitable for a wide range of aerospace and defense electronic ...

SemiQ will be exhibiting its 1.2kV SOT-227 silicon carbide mosfet power modules at APEC, the Applied Power Electronics Conference, at the end of February. The modules come with or without a co-packaged Schottky diode, with current ratings between 30 and 113A, and on-resistance spanning 80mΩ to 20mΩ respectively (see table). The SOT-227 package is designed to be bolted to a ...
