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.
Vishay Intertechnology has announced an expansion of its CHA series of thin film chip resistors. The resistors, being AEC-Q200 qualified, meet strict automotive reliability standards. The initial launch was in a 02016 case size, supporting up to 70 GHz, and the currently introduced model is in a 0402 case size.
Though the frequency performance goes slightly down from up to 70GHz to…
Murata has introduced a 3-axis accelerometer called the SCA3400-D01. It is designed for use in structural health monitoring, machine control, inertial measurement units, construction tools and systems, tilt sensing, levelling & platform stabilization, and positioning & guidance systems. 3-axis sensing means measuring motion or tilt in X, Y, and Z directions.
The ultra-low noise…
Infineon has introduced its radiation-tolerant memory portfolio. These are important for space use, specifically in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions. LEO satellites are closer to Earth, where the severity of radiation is less, and hence these COTS components offer cost-effective and time-efficient solutions.
The current release includes three types of memory chips: F-RAM (Ferroelectric…
RAKwireless has launched the RAK11160 WisDuo Module. This dual-core IoT module combines two microcontrollers: an STM32WLE5 for LoRaWAN-based long-range wireless communication and an ESP32-C2 for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
The ESP32 can enter a deep power-off mode using only ~1 µA. This makes it great for remote farming sensors, moving vehicles, forests, and even asset…
Broadcom Inc. has introduced Tomahawk 6, the world’s first 102.4 Terabits per second Ethernet switch chip, and it’s already started shipping. This new chip is designed for large-scale AI training and inference clusters, providing the highest bandwidth and performance that can be packed in a piece of silicon.
The Tomahawk 6 is twice what its predecessors were in terms of switching…
Infineon Technologies has unveiled a new family of radiation-hardened Gallium Nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) fabricated using its trademark CoolGan technology. The tech was designed and manufactured at their own foundry to sustain the harsh conditions of space. These are the first internally manufactured GaN devices to receive the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA)…
RECOM has released power modules featuring an ultra-wide input voltage range of 18 to 264 VAC and 18 to 375 VDC. Designed with a standard 1.5 by 2-inch footprint, these modules deliver fully regulated output voltages ranging from 5V to 54V DC. The RAC15-K/WI provides a full 15W output rating, typically above 48 VAC input at ambient temperatures up to 60°C, with diminished yet effective power…
Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (NTCJ) has started mass production of its 4th-generation Gerda HMI display ICs, available in three variants. These ICs are designed to support future vehicle display systems, including electronic mirrors, AR head-up displays, and digital clusters, striving to improve driver visibility, comfort, and security.
Gerda-4M addresses optical challenges in…
ROHM announced the launch of a new series of compact surface-mount near-infrared (NIR) LEDs, designed to meet the surging demand for precise, power-efficient sensing in contemporary applications such as VR, AR, automation systems, and biosensors. The introduced lineup includes six models across three package configurations.
The LEDs are available in 850nm and 940nm wavelengths, tailored…
Renesas Electronics Corporation has unveiled the RZ/A3M high-performance microprocessor (MPU) designed to power next-generation human-machine interface (HMI) systems across various industries. As part of the RTOS-based RZ/A series, the RZ/A3M enables real-time operation essential for responsive and smooth graphical user interfaces. This new addition to the family focuses on cost-sensitive HMI…
SiTime Corporation, a company focused on precision timing tech, has just introduced the Symphonic SiT30100, a compact clock generator designed for mobile and IoT devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and asset trackers.
What makes this chip different is it combines the functionality of 4 of such timing devices into one small…
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now stocking the AR0145CS Hyperlux™ SG image sensors from onsemi. The AR0145CS is a 1/4.3 inch CMOS digital image sensor with a 1280 (H) x 800 (V) active-pixel array. Capturing both continuous video and single frames, the AR0145CS sensors are ideal for…
