ROHM Semi conductor has recently announced a new series of resistors called the LTR50. These resistors come in a compact 2550 size (2.5mm × 5.0mm × 0.55mm) with a wattage rating as high as 2W and resistance values between 10mΩ to 910mΩ. These small package resistors comes in high wattage rating and also helps in improving energy saving and reducing the size of the circuit…
Toshiba released the TC78H653FTG dual-H-bridge driver IC for DC brushed motors and stepper motors that delivers the low voltage (1.8V) and high current (4.0A) essential for low voltage equipment powered by dry-cell batteries, such as mobile devices, electronic products for the home and USB drives.
With the growing…
Vishay Intertechnology released a new fully integrated Automotive Grade proximity and ambient light sensor with four different slave address options. The VCNL4030X01 sensor device features Filtron™ technology and combines photo detectors for proximity and ambient light, a signal conditioning IC, a 16-bit ADC, and a high power IRED in one compact 4 mm by 2.36 mm by…
As touchscreen displays in the car grow larger, drivers expect screens to operate with the same touch experience as mobile phones. However, screens in automobiles need to meet stringent head impact and vibration tests, and so need to have thicker cover lenses that potentially impact the touch interface performance. As screens get larger, they are also more likely to…
Renesas Electronics introduced a USB-C™ buck-boost battery charger to support both Narrow Voltage Direct Charging (NVDC) and Hybrid Power Buck-Boost (HPBB) charging for notebooks, ultrabooks, tablets, and power banks using the reversible USB Type-C™ connector cable. Through firmware control, the ISL9241 can switch between NVDC and HPBB modes, providing a low-cost and small…
Designers of small, battery-powered electronics can enhance the user experience by extending battery life and further shrinking device size with six new low-power power-management ICs (PMICs) from Maxim Integrated. The MAX17270, MAX77278, MAX77640/MAX77641 and MAX77680/MAX77681 PMICs help to reduce the power-management footprint for space-…
Mouser Electronics announces the newest issue of its Methods technology and solutions e-zine focusing Smarter Edge Computing for IoT. The third issue of volume two examines the evolution of traditional edge devices to smarter edge devices that are capable of processing and decision making — tasks that are currently done in the cloud.
