Renesas Electronics announced the RX66T Group of microcontrollers - a 32-bit RX MCU family based on the new third-generation RXv3 CPU core. The new MCUs leverage cutting-edge CPU core technology to achieve substantially improved performance, as much as 2.5 times better than previous RX family MCUs. Combining the powerful new RXv3 core with the strengths of the…

Diodes Incorporated introduced the AH1911/AH1921 digital Hall effect sensors, which combine market-leading stable operating and release points (BOP and BRP) with ultra-low power operation. The 3rd generation devices will respond to either polarity of magnetic field and use a ‘hibernating clock’ system to reduce average current consumption to 1.6µA at 3V supply.…

The LPS22HH MEMS piezoelectric absolute pressure sensor from STMicroelectronics allowing manufacturers to eliminate one-point calibration (OPC) after soldering to increase throughput and efficiency.

 

With a pressure noise equivalent to 5cm, the LPS22HH enhances controls such as collision avoidance for drones…

Sensirion introduce the new pin-type relative humidity sensor SHT85 for easy integration and replaceability in a wide range of applications. The digital humidity sensor SHT85 builds on a highly accurate and long-term stable SHT3x sensor that is at the heart of Sensirion’s new humidity and temperature platform. The unique package design allows for the best possible thermal…

The MAX17250 DC-DC synchronous boost converter from Maxim Integrated is now available on Mouser Electronics. The MAX17250 offers up to 93 percent efficiency to minimize heat dissipation, with an ultra-low quiescent current that helps extend battery life in digital cameras, battery-powered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and other connected designs.
