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 announced the Full HD 1080p LCD video controller to include a 4-lane MIPI-CSI2 input for Automotive industry. The RAA278842 LCD video controller’s 4-lane (or dual 2-lane) MIPI-CSI2 input can support up to 1Gbps per lane to interface with the latest generation of automotive cameras, application processors and graphics processors. The controller can…
Integrated Device Technology (IDT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Renesas Electronics, introduced the first software-upgradeable, digital outdoor air quality sensor for high volume applications. The IDT ZMOD4510 sensor can detect ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) gases, two significant causes of unhealthy outdoor air quality. The ability of the ZMOD4510 to…
Traco Power introduced the ultra wide 8:1 input POL converters to cover many standard bus- and battery voltages. The TSR-WI line is a set of non-isolated POL converter series with an ultra wide 8:1 input voltage range which come in standard SIP-3 packages. Covering the majority of standard bus- and battery voltages this POL converter line is a versatile solution for…
Diodes Incorporated released the AL3644 high-speed, dual-channel flash LED driver designed to support advanced camera flash and torch functionality, as offered by the latest smartphones and other portable consumer devices. Key features include independently controlled output currents configured through an I2C-compatible interface and the ability to combine two…
Mouser Electronics is now stocking the highly anticipated BOLT maker board from UDOO. Combining powerful processing and graphics with machine intelligence features and Arduino compatibility, the UDOO BOLT provides the platform for such wide-ranging applications as gaming, virtual reality (VR), media centers, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Texas Instruments introduced an ultra-low-power low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator with the industry’s lowest quiescent current (IQ) of sub-25 nA – one-tenth that of competing ultra-small devices. The new regulator features low IQ control at light loads even in dropout conditions, allowing engineers to at least double the battery life of their applications. In…
Diodes Incorporated announced the PI3DBS16222 crossbar switch for high-speed differential and serial signals. Optimized for the latest protocols, it provides an almost-universal solution to routing high-speed signals up to 20Gbps around high-performance electronic equipment, from personal computers and mobile devices to network switch backplanes and high-end test tools.…
The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology introduced a new proximity sensor that offers a sensing distance of up to 30 cm. Combining an IR emitter, photo detectors for proximity, amplifiers, and ADC circuitry into a single package, the Vishay Semiconductors VCNL3040 sensor features a programmable interrupt function and supports the I²C bus…
RECOM introduces the RAC03-K series 3W AC-DC converter modules, that can be used in a wide range of applications with its complete certifications for ITE and household standards.
Available in a compact 1in² footprint, these modules deliver an output power of 3 watts from -40°C to 60°C and 2 watts up to 80°C. Despite such a high…
Molex releases the MicroTPA 2.00mm Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire Connector System, providing electrical and mechanical reliability in a high-temperature design that meets a diverse range of industry requirements. The connectors are ideal for the consumer and automotive markets needing a compact wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connector system, with a current rating up…
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the 40V-rated DMTH4008LFDFWQ and 60V-rated DMTH6016LFDFWQ automotive-compliant MOSFETs packaged in DFN2020. These miniature MOSFETs occupy just 10% of the PCB area of larger packages, such as SOT223, enabling greater power density in DC-DC converters, LED backlighting, ADAS, and other ‘under-the-hood’…
ON Semiconductor announced the introduction of the ARX3A0 digital image sensor with 0.3 Mega-Pixel (MP) resolution in a 1:1 aspect ratio. With up to 360 frames per second (fps) capture rate it can perform like a global shutter in many conditions but with the size, performance and responsivity benefits of being a Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) rolling shutter…
