It features Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 processors, offering choices including Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285H, Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 255H, and Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225H. As these processors come with an integrated Intel® Arc™ GPU and an Intel® AI Boost NPU, the module is capable of reaching…
STMicroelectronics has introduced a Matter NFC chip, which is a first for the sector. With just a tap, the new ST25DA-C chip allows users to add connected devices to their home network, such as smart lighting, access-control devices, and security cameras. To anyone unfamiliar, Matter is a standard created to allow devices from different brands to talk to each other. With this product,…
ROHM’s new three-phase brushless DC motor gate driver uses its proprietary TriC3™ technology to minimise FET switching loss without compromising on electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is designed for motors that run on 12 to 48V power sources, meaning that applications include electric drills, industrial fans, air conditioners, and E-bikes.
The TriC3™ tech helps mitigate the usual…
Renesas has announced the RRG5006x, which is the industry’s first 6th-generation Registered Clock Driver (RCD) for DDR5 Registered Dual In-line Memory Modules (RDIMMs). It achieves 9600 Mega Transfers Per Second (MT/s), outperforming Renesas’ Gen5 RCD by 800 MT/s. The chip maintains backward compatibility with 5th-generation platforms.
The RCDs support AI, HPC, and LLM workloads…
DigiKey, the leading global electronic components and automation products distributor, announces the just-released Arduino ® UNO Q is available for preorder through the DigiKey website. The cutting-edge new generation of development boards combines a powerful microprocessor with graphic acceleration and a dedicated microcontroller for streamlined product development.
Whether you need a…
Qualcomm’s recent acquisition of Arduino marks a turning point in the maker and embedded space. As announced on October 7, 2025, Qualcomm will acquire Arduino while preserving its brand, tools, and commitment to open-source development. In parallel with the acquisition news, Arduino and Qualcomm jointly unveiled the Arduino UNO Q, a hybrid single-board system combining Linux-capable compute…
Traditional analog power supplies struggle to keep up with today’s performance and control accuracy requirements, which have gotten way stricter. Even though digital power supplies work better, they’re just too expensive and use too much power for smaller industrial applications. This makes their use limited. To counter this, ROHM has just announced a new reference design for power supply…
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the TSM41 series of industrial-grade, multi-turn surface-mount cermet trimmers. They are designed to fit constrained applications and work in harsh environments, with a 4 mm by 4 mm size, -55 °C to +140 °C range, and IP67 sealing. They occupy less space on a circuit board compared to older versions, as the case is 42% smaller.
The range of…
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two new automotive-grade inductors. Both IHDM-1107BBEV-2A and IHDM-1107BBEV-3A come in a 1107 case size with soft saturation current up to 422 A, depending on the model. These are through-hole, edge-wound inductors with a powdered iron alloy core that works reliably from -40 to +180 °C, keeping power losses to a minimum and achieving high thermal…
Vishay Intertechnology has released a new series of surface-mount transient voltage suppressors (TVS) that are rated at 1500 W. Designed for reliable performance in automotive systems, the T15BxxA (unidirectional) and T15BxxCA (bidirectional) series are qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and can operate at temperatures up to +185 °C.
These devices, packaged in the compact SMB (DO-214AA)…
