To facilitate the fast-growing electronics industry, the semiconductor companies and component manufacturers constantly improve their designs and announce new products and components that are smaller, more efficient and powerful than the exiting ones. This section covers all the latest electronic components introduced in the market to enable design engineers to be aware about the latest options and helping them to keep their designs up-to-date for competing in the ever-evolving market.
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the RL78/G21, a new member of its RL78 family. Renesas holds the No. 1 global market share in 16-bit MCUs (Note 1). The RL78/G21 MCU extends that leadership into the next generation of smart appliances. Optimized for smart system control, the new MCU product series RL78/G21…
Bourns today announced the CSI2F-6918, CSI2F-7036, CSI2F-8518 and CSI2F-8536 Series Current Sense Resistor Modules. These module-style current sense resistors provide ultra-low resistance values from 25 to 200 µΩ, an integrated 10 kΩ NTC thermistor, continuous power ratings up to 36 W at a terminal temperature of 125 °C and operating temperatures from 40 °C to +125 °C.
Every CSI2F…
Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the expansion of its L-Series of timing devices with the launch of its LX-820 Radiation-Tolerant Quartz Oscillator, designed for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and other space applications. The L-Series portfolio provides satellite developers with a wide range of oscillator architectures to select from, each with varying frequency stability, phase…
Infineon has added two new parts to the main line of its PSOC Control C3 motor and power microcontrollers. The PSC3M6 is for motor control and the PSC3P6 is for power conversion. The headline features are that one 180 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 can now run up to four brushless DC motors, sensored or sensorless, and that firmware verification uses post-quantum cryptography in line with the US CNSA 2.0…
TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) announces the expansion of its NTC temperature sensor portfolio with the M704 (ordering code: B57704M0103A001) and M705 (ordering code: B57705M0103A001) series, engineered for reliable temperature measurement in high-voltage environments. With voltage ratings of up to 4000 V (AC) for the M704 and 2500 V (AC) for the M705, these probe assemblies enable safe and…
Renesas has launched the RX74M and RX74N, the first RX-family microcontrollers built on a 22nm process and the first to use embedded MRAM instead of conventional flash. Both run an RXv3e core at up to 600 MHz, and Renesas says they deliver more than twice the performance of the 240 MHz RX72M and RX72N they succeed. The RX74M targets factory automation gear like AC drives, industrial robots and…
Temperature sensing on a crowded board usually means putting the thermistor wherever there is room, not where the heat is. Murata has announced the NCU01 series, an NTC thermistor in the 008004-inch size (0.25 mm × 0.125 mm, called 0201M in metric), which the company says is the world's smallest based on its own research as of 19 October 2026. Compared with its previous smallest 01005-inch…
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) is advancing its collaboration with NVIDIA on 800 Volt direct current (VDC) power architectures for AI data centers. Timed with NVIDIA's GTC Berlin developer conference, the announcement centers on the high-voltage intermediate bus converter (IBC), one of the most critical and demanding conversion stages in the power delivery chain of AI data…
At the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) debuted the first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to enable 24/7, low-power, event-based remote monitoring at nanosecond resolution.
As AI workloads rapidly increase, data center operators face significant challenges around power instability, inadequate real-time monitoring and signal…
Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the POL-05-20S-T, a radiation-tolerant, Point-of-Load (POL) converter, designed to address the demanding power requirements of space processing applications. The new device uses Gallium Nitride (GaN) power devices to deliver up to 20A of output current with high efficiency and power density.
The converter is supplied in a compact, 25g…
As appliance and equipment manufacturers look for ways to reduce system costs, many are replacing displays with Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) using high-end decoration and illuminated capacitive-touch buttons, sliders and wheels. These interfaces often require a large number of touch sensors which can increase acquisition time and reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when using…
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has expanded its GaN portfolio into low-voltage applications with its first family of 100V enhancement mode (E-mode) GaN-based discrete power transistors. The RTP100E005G1FL, RTP100E2P6G1FL, RTP100E1P8G1FL-DSC and RTP100E1P2G1FL-DSC low-voltage GaN FETs deliver ultra-fast switching speeds and…
