Nexperia has developed small and low profile 14, 16, 20, and 24 pin DHXQFN packages to provide a small footprint in standard logic devices. Measuring just 2 mm x 2 mm (14 pin), 2 mm x 2.4 mm (16 pin), 2 mm x 3.2 mm (20 pin), and 2 mm x 4 mm (24 pin), the 0.4 mm pitch, 0.45 mm height, these DHXQFN packages help in saving space on PCB.
The 16 pin…
The next generation MAX25405 infrared-based dynamic optical sensor from Maxim Integrated detects wider proximity of movement and doubles the sensing range to 40cm besides offering 10x lower cost than time-of-flight (ToF) camera-based systems in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. This new sensor with integrated optics and a 6 x 10 infrared sensor array…
The innovative digital Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) chipset from Dialog Semiconductor enables designers to reduce component size and BOM cost for delivering small form-factor, lightweight power supplies, including travel adapters for smartphones, tablets, laptops, power tools, and other portable devices. Targeting high power density PSUs with Zero Voltage switching…
Ensuring to optimize system efficiency and extend industrial and automotive system lifetimes, the two new humidity sensors, HDC3020 and HDC3020-Q1 from Texas Instruments provide high reliability and built-in resistance to contaminants and harsh environments. With extremely high accuracy and low power, these new humidity sensors offer improved relative humidity…
Expanding its range of TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes, TDK Corporation has introduced two new micro-packaged TVS diodes designed specifically to protect voltage-sensitive components from ESD for existing and future applications within IoT, smart home, or Industry 4.0. The new compact TVS diodes - SD01005SL-ULC101 (B74111U0033M060) and SD0201SL-ULC101 (…
The MLX91218 and MLX91219 from Melexis are the next-generation high-precision IMC-Hall 400 kHz current sensor ICs that simplify module designs with a dual OverCurrent Detection (OCD) functionality, a flexible supply 3.3V/5V, and an improved SNR in automotive power-conversion applications.
Available in a single inline (SIP) 4-pin…
The RAA2230XX non-isolated buck converters from Renesas Electronics deliver low power consumption, noise, and EMI suppression, while also reducing overall system cost giving designers the competitive edge. These new universal input AC/DC switching buck regulators feature a 700V integrated MOSFET capable of delivering up to 8W output power, with the output voltage as low as 3…
ON Semiconductor has added a critical conduction mode (CrM) totem pole PFC controller to their solution set for ultra-high density offline power supplies and power factor correction. The new NCP1680 CrM totem pole PFC controller employs novel current limit architecture and line phase detection while incorporating proven control algorithms to deliver a cost-effective solution…
Maxim Integrated unveiled the MAX98396 Class D/G speaker amplifier with the industry’s lowest noise and lowest quiescent power consumption, which is nearly five times lower power than similar amplifiers. The 20V digital input audio power amplifier offers 12.7mW of quiescent power to meet and exceed the industry’s power compliance regulations, which support the always-on…
CUI Devices’ Motion Group has announced a new model to its AMT incremental encoder family which is based on the existing AMT 10E series package. The new AMT10E series offers 13 new resolutions which are not possible in the standard version, including the common 1250 PPR, 2500 PPR, and 5120 PPR resolutions and the series achieves this by increasing the internal sinusoidal…
