Littelfuse has expanded its SPXI series in-line 1500VDC solar fuses with new 35 to 60 amperage models that were designed to be integrated into in-line assemblies within a wire harness. The new solar fuses protect photovoltaic (PV) installations from overloads and short circuits to avoid damages in the solar panels. You can check the SPXI series datasheet to check the…
Melexis has introduced the ASIL-ready MLX91377 Hall sensor IC that can operate at ambient temperature up to 160°C and suitable for safety-critical automotive systems such as electric power-assisted steering (EPAS). By combining high linearity with excellent thermal stability, including low offset and sensitivity drift the MLX91377 supports accurate, dependable torque sensing…
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has extended its U-MOS X-H series with the new 80V N-channel power MOSFETs that are designed with the latest generation process. The expanded line-up includes "TPH2R408QM," housed in SOP Advance, a surface-mount type packaging, and "TPN19008QM," housed in a TSON Advance package.
The new 80V U-MOS…
STMicroelectronics has introduced its IIS3DWB vibration sensor and supporting STEVAL-STWINK1 multi-sensor evaluation kit that can accelerate the development of condition-monitoring systems that boost productivity by inferring equipment maintenance needs. The owners can create strategies that maximize uptime, minimize servicing costs, and avoid emergency repairs with the help…
A team of researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new multi-directional tactile sensor to be used as a fingertip for robotic manipulation with robotic hands. Named OmniTact, the sensor uses multiple micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations of a gel-based skin. This provides a rich signal from which a variety of different contact state variables can be…
TDK Corporation has introduced the EZA2500W-32048 bi-directional DC-DC converter model to its EZA series, which is designed for an energy storage system with rechargeable batteries. The new 2500W converter is digitally controlled and the compact U1 power supply can change the conversion direction from high voltage DC sources, powered by solar or wind to 48Vdc batteries and…
STMicroelectronics has come up with high-speed image sensors that use a global shutter for capturing distortion-free images when in motion or when near-infrared illumination is required. The new sensors namely VD55G0 with 640 x 600 pixels and the VD56G3 with 1.5 Mpixels (1124 x 1364) measure 2.6mm x 2.5mm and 3.6mm x 4.3mm, respectively. This makes them…
The Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced a new Renesas Solution Starter Kit (RSSK) for developers working with the 32-bit RX23E-A Microcontroller (MCU) by bringing together hardware, software and tools optimized for evaluating the MCU’s high-precision 24-bit delta-sigma (ΔΣ) A/D converter with industry-leading accuracy. The RSSK was designed to optimize the…
MORNSUN has extended its K78 series with the K78_3AR3 a new 3A output non-isolated switching regulator with an ultra-wide input voltage range of 8-36V. With the high efficiency of 97% and 2mA, no-load input current, the new device can operate at a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C without a heat sink.
With characteristics such as continuous…
