Renesas has expanded its 32bit MCU portfolio with the addition of the RX24T group. Based on the RXv2 CPU core, the devices are said to offer enhanced performance, a decrease of 30% in development time and additional instructions that accelerate performance and energy efficiency in a range of applications.There are six devices in the range, with...

With a power efficiency as high as 96%, devices from Infineon’s latest integrated power stage family can be combined with digital PWM power management controllers to provide a full multiphase voltage regulation system solution for server, storage, client and communications systems.The devices – said to reduce power loss and to simpl...

As demand grows for thinner and lighter microelectronic devices, manufacturers can be challenged when it comes to getting power sources into the smaller space. Looking to address the issue, researchers at the University of Missouri have developed a laser writing technique that enables energy sources to be created in virtually any shape. According t...

ESCO’s latest anti-counterfeiting forum highlighted some of the problems facing those procuring hard to get components.Gary Moffat, UK sales manager for Retronix, said: “It’s not always possible to wait for 24 weeks for a device and there’s pressure on purchasers to get products to customers.”While not all supp...

A series of power supplies for medical applications BF (Body Floating) has been announced by Powerbox. Complying with IEC 60601-1-2: 2014 (4th edition), the seven devices in the OBS01 series deliver 1100W, but can support peak demands of 1250W.Offering an efficiency of up to 89%, the devices are said to meet conducted and radiated EN55011 class...

Tektronix has unveiled its IsoVu technology at APEC 2016, the technology is claimed to offer complete galvanic isolation between a device under test (DUT) and an oscilloscope through the use of electro-optical sensors. Tektronix says it will be the industry’s first measurement solution capable of accurately resolving high bandwidth differenti...

Three weeks after announcing a partnership aimed at developing sodium ion cells for solar applications, Sheffield based Faradion will share £1.3million of Government funding from a competition aimed at cutting vehicle emissions. Joining Faradion in the latest project are Scottish company AGM Batteries and WMG, from the University of Warwick....

Using process and design optimisations, Belgian nanoelectronics research centre imec has upgraded its integrated silicon photonics platform with technology that is said to support non return to zero (NRZ) lane rates of 50Gbit/s. The development, according to imec, is an important milestone in the realisation of high data rate silicon integrated opt...

A three year European programme with funding of €3.9million, is bringing together industry and researchers to develop a tool chain for what the partners call ‘efficient, standardised and real time capable programming’.The ARGO project, being coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), is working on a method to conve...

A team of researchers from the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a processing technique that could bring two-dimensional electronic devices closer to their ultimate promise of low power, high efficiency and mechanical flexibility.Led by Olga Ovchinnikova of ORNL's Centre for Nanophase Materi...
