GT sockets are ideal for prototyping and testing almost any BGA device application that requires high signal integrity. This new elastomer technology has silver particles held in conductive column-like buttons which are embedded in a non-conductive polymer substrate on a proper pitch that provides high compliance and works in extreme temperature ranges.
Low ON resistance N-Channel MOSFETs operate on 24V/36V/48V power supplies
ROHM Semiconductor announces the RS6xxxxBx / RH6xxxxBx series of N-channel MOSFETs (40V/60V/80V/100V/150V; 13 part numbers) suitable for applications operating on 24V/36V/48V power supplies, such as base stations, servers, and motors for industrial and consumer equipment. In recent years, worldwide power consumption has been on the rise, driving the need for industrial equipment (e.g., servers and base stations, along […]
150 and 200 W dc-dc converters with 12:1 input range
Traco Power announces their new TEP 150UIR and TEP 200UIR families of 150 and 200 watt DC/DC converters with a 12:1 input range (14-160VDC) in a fully-encapsulated half brick package. These converters enable design engineers to utilize a single power supply solution that accepts an array of nominal system voltages, including 24/48/72/110 VDC input. The […]
1 W dc-dc converter in DIP-8 package
Traco Power announces their new cost-efficient TDU 1 series of one-watt un-regulated DC-DC Converters with 1,500 VDC isolation in the ultra-miniature DIP-8 package. The TDU 1 series consists of nine models offering 5 / 12 / 24 Vin (±10% input range) and single un-regulated outputs of 5 / 12 / 15 Vout. The converter is […]
1 Watt SIP or SMD converter
Traco Power announces their TRI 1 (SIP-8) and TRI 1SM (SMD-14) families of 1-watt high isolation and regulated DC/DC converters for industrial, transportation, and instrumentation applications. Both SIP and SMD families feature: TRI 1 (SIP-8 models) offer 5 / 12 / 15V outputs TRI 1SM (SMD-14 models) offer 5 / 12 / ±12 / 15 […]
Experiments bring hope for 6G above 100 GHz
Efforts to explore and “unlock” this frequency region require an interdisciplinary approach with high-frequency RF semiconductor technology. The THz region also shows great promise for many application areas ranging from imaging to spectroscopy to sensing.
How does 5G’s O-RAN E2 interface work?
Open radio-access networks (Open RAN) disaggregate a cell tower’s baseband unit into three units. The 5G Open RAN architecture specified by 3GPP separates functions into a centralized unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU), where these functions were otherwise contained in the baseband unit, which also included the radio. These units provide network operators with the…
How IEEE 1588 synchronizes 5G Open RAN
The three units that comprise Open RAN 5G networks need precise timing to properly interoperate. Standards dictate what is needed, but it’s up to design engineers to properly implement timing circuits. 5G networks, with their promise of increased bandwidth and improved responsiveness, impose new challenges on equipment designers and network architects. One such challenge comes…
