U-blox is sampling a module that combine LTE-M cellular communication (23dBm output) and GNSS for precise location finding. SARA-R520M10 is the super-set device, combining on-board an LTE-M and NB-IoT IC (v2 of UBX-R5) with the company’s M10 GNSS receiver IC, allowing concurrent communication and location-finding in a 16 x 26 x 2.2mm package. Cellular coverage is global, and the module ...

Texas Instruments has introduced a hex level translator for logic that can also be used as a line-driver. Called SN74LV6T17-EP and part of the LVxT logic family, it contains six independent buffers with Schmitt-trigger inputs. The output level is referenced to the supply voltage, which can span 1.6 to 5.5V and supports 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 and 5V cmos levels. The ...

Moxa has created a family of industrial PCs around Intel’s Tiger Lake (11th gen) processors. There are 75 models, all fanless, covering wall-mountable, rack-mount and DIN rail shapes (see photo). All can accept a single SODIMM DDR4 ram module up to 32Gbyte, but come with 8Gbyte pre-installed. All are rated to work across -30 to 60°C. BXP series has box-type ...

Toshiba has introduced a 60V p-channel mosfet rated at 60V and 90A continuous current, with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. Called XPH8R316MC (90A), the company sees it being used in vehicles, in load switches, electronic relays and motor drives. A similar part, XPH13016MC, is the same except rated at 60A. In both cases, pulse rating is double the continuous current ...

Erqos has announced a phone and cloud connected programmable logic controller backed by an AI-based semi-automatic control code generator, and a similar tool for making matching phone apps. The DIN-rain controller, dubbed EQSP32, is built around an ESP32S3 microcontroller with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the unit offers digital and analogue inputs and ouputs as well as serial busses. “EQSP32 lets ...

SignatureIP is offering a trial of its processor agnostic network-on-chip (NoC) configuration software. Called iNoCulator, the “tool enables users to find the optimal NoC configuration, and the company believes that it is the fastest on the market”, it said. “This try-before-you-buy offer will enable engineers to see for themselves just how easy it is to design a NoC with our tool.” ...

RS is stocking five kits of hand soldering and re-work components aimed at different applications, such as micro-soldering and de-soldering larger components. They collect together units selected from Weller’s WXsmart soldering component range. All the kit part numbers are of the form T005345x699, and all of the kits include get Weller’s ‘WXsmart Station’ controller, a soldering iron, a stand for ...

Congatec is to ship an installed hypervisor with many of its x86 computer-on-modules as standard. The hypervisor in question is related to RTS Hypervisor from Real-Time Systems – a company owned by Congatec, and installed as part of the BIOS. “It uses the same technology as RTS Hypervisor, but it is integrated in the modules” the company told Electronics Weekly, ...

Binder is adding protective caps for the cable connectors to its NCC (Not Connected Closed) 670- and 770-series portfolio. The industrial connector specialist, highlights the issue of connections having to be released – for inspection or maintenance – which reduces the environmental protection for that period of work. The cap can ensure meeting IP67 requirements of protection – against dust ...

Murata has announced multi-amp miniature automotive SMD inductors that are over 30% better than their forebears. Measuring 2 x 1.6 x 1.2mm (0806 or 2016), there are two types: DFE2MCPHR33MJLLQ 0.33μH ±20%, 0.018Ω 5.1A max (6.4A typ) at 40°C rise 6.9A max (8.1A typ) at 30% inductance change DFE2MCPHR47MJLLQ 0.47μH±20%, 0.022Ω 4.4A max (5.5A typ) at 40°C rise 5.4A max ...
