Quantum control has several uses. Its primary use is to prevent the performance degradation of quantum computers as a result of the decoherence of qubits. It’s also an important function in the field of quantum sensing; for information on that application, see the FAQ on “What’s a quantum sensor?” This FAQ reviews the current status […]
Battery testing: critical to the rise of electric vehicles
When designing a battery into an EV, you must perform rigorous testing to understand a battery’s performance. Electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 13% of global vehicle sales in 2022 and are forecasted to reach 30% of global vehicle sales by 2030. The industry needs to continue working on making EVs affordable to support this transition…
How to improve Open RAN security at the hardware level
Open RAN telecom network security begins in the microprocessors that control telecom network equipment. Configure and use these processors with secure booting and build trust.
Rectifier pair ideal for various power supply designs
Central Semiconductor, a leading manufacturer of discrete electronic components, announced the addition of two new products to its extensive lineup, the CRU24715-600 (600V, with dual common cathode 15A rectifiers) and CRU24730-600 (600V, with dual common cathode 30A rectifiers). These through-hole hyper-fast recovery rectifiers packaged in the TO-247 provide outstanding performance and couple perfectly with Central’s […]
Grypper sockets for BGA devices – controller, buffers and DDR’s
Ironwood Grypper sockets are great for enabling fast, easy swap out of BGA devices for development sorting and failure analysis. The Grypper socket allows you to snap the BGA device into the socket simply – no lid needed. The Grypper sockets are the same size as the device, “ZERO FOOTPRINT SOCKET,” so they will reflow […]
UWB applications bring design decisions
Ultra-wideband communications and location detection applications are steadily increasing. As a designer, you have options and therefore must decide how to best integrate UWB into your IoT design. Impulse radio ultra-wideband, commonly referred to as UWB, is a short-range, wireless communication protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.4z standard, operating at frequencies up to 9.5 GHz.…

High-Speed Elastomer Socket for Ethernet Switch Device Socket is constructed with high performance and low inductance elastomer contactor. The temperature range is -55 C to +150 C. The pin self-inductance is 0.10 nH, and the mutual inductance of 0.007 nH. Capacitance to ground is 0.069 pF. The current capacity is 4 amps per pin and […]
Inductors and all-mode filters now for frequencies up to 5 GHz
SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus GmbH & Co KG (SMP) has extended the frequency range for inductive components and filter systems. Filter damping in all-mode products now has an effective range of up to 5 GHz. SMP manufactures and develops EMC filter systems and inductive suppression components based on All Mode Technology (AM), a registered trademark of […]
Carbon matrix resistors drop in replacement for EoL parts
RCD Components, under the iNRCORE Family of Brands, is launching a new line of carbon matrix resistors comparable to the now unavailable Allen Bradley and other aftermarket Carbon Composition parts that have been marked end-of-life. The line enhances stability and reduces the common moisture-related issues of the Carbon Composition line, CC series. Ideal for Hi-Rel, Military, […]
Suppressor capacitors meet 2,000-hour 85/85 THB tests
Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. introduces its MXH series of X2, EMI/RFI suppression capacitors designed for harsh environments. The MXH series is AEC-Q200 qualified, meets a 2,000-hour THB (Temperature, Humidity, Bias) life test, and has applications in motors, AMR (Automated Meter Readers), UPS, power supplies, charging systems, and appliances. These X2, across-the-line capacitors filter out electromagnetic […]
