The Cambridge-based startup, Paragraf has collaborated with the Magnetic Measurement section at CERN to demonstrate the potential of graphene-based Hall effect sensors to improve accuracy in magnetic measurement applications. Overcoming the shortfalls of existing Hall effect sensors that exhibit planar Hall effects that produce false signals, Hall effect Sensor from Paragraf…

Nexperia has introduced a new range of GaN FET devices that consists of next-gen high-voltage Gan HEMT H2 technology in both TO-247 and CCPAK surface-mount packaging. The GaN technology employs through-epi vias for reducing defects and shrinking the die size up to 24%. The TO-247 package reduces the RDS (on) by 41mΩ (max., 35 mΩ types. at 25 °C) with high threshold…

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has introduced two lens reduction type 1500-pixel monochrome CCD linear image sensors, TCD1105GFG and TCD1106GFG, for industrial equipment. These new sensors provide faster operation of equipment that incorporates sensors, including inspection equipment with monochrome CCD linear image sensors and they consume lower power.

These…

Renesas has expanded its ZMOD4410 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sensor platform with the power of embedded artificial intelligence (e-AI) to provide smart odor sensing for ventilation systems, bathroom monitoring and controls, and air quality monitors. The enhanced platform combines neural network-trained firmware on various microcontrollers (MCUs) like Renesas RL78MCU to…

Putting tens of thousands of tiny memristors (memory transistors), the team of Engineers at MIT has come up with a chip named ‘brain-on-a-chip’. The silicon-based components that mimic the human brain's information are put onto a single chip. Proving to be a stepping stone, the chip when run through various tasks has the ability to "remember" and reproduce stored images.…
