A new QFN socket design uses high-performance elastomer capable of 60+ GHz and has a low inductance to handle ATE applications. The GTP-QFN-1001 socket is designed for a 5.9×5.9-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 60+ GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The contact resistance is typically 20 mΩ/pin. The […]
IC testers handle Arm eMRAM compiler IP on Samsung 28-nm FDSOI process technology
A new IC test solution is optimized for the eMRAM (embedded Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory) compiler IP from Arm, built on Samsung Foundry’s 28-nm FDSOI process technology. The new eMRAM test solution is the result of a collaboration between Mentor and Arm. Mentor also has a long track record of working closely with Samsung on […]
High-speed differential probes handle DDR5, LPDDR5 memory signals
The MX0023A InfiniiMax RC is a new high-speed differential probing solution for Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) and Low Power Double Data Rate 5 (LPDDR5) memory. As data rates of mobile bus systems increase, the edge speed of the signal gets faster, thus requiring higher bandwidth probe solutions. At the same time, many systems deploy […]
Ultra-high isolation 2/3-W dc/dc converters come in compact SIP16 package
The RHV2 and RHV3 series unregulated dc/dc converters feature ultra-high isolation ratings of 12.5 kVAC/one minute or 20 kVDC/one second in a compact SIP16 package that measures just 45x15x17 mm. With more than 30 mm input-to-output pin separation, the converters are certified to IEC/EN 62368 and IEC/EN 61010 for 12.5-kVAC reinforced isolation up to 5,000 […]
4U, 30-kW rack-mount programmable dc load returns 95% of power to grid
The EA-ELR 10000 30 KW Programmable Electronic Load is engineered with advanced SiC power conversion devices and boasts the industry’s best power density—requiring as little as half the rack space for the same power output as competing programmable loads. This latest generation ELR combines its high-efficiency programmable dc load with an equally efficient inverter (regenerative) […]
PSMA/PELS sponsor pre-APEC power magnetics at high-frequency workshop
The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS) are jointly sponsoring the fifth high-frequency magnetics workshop, “Power Magnetics @ High Frequency,” on Saturday, March 14, 2020. The workshop will be conducted on the day before and in the same venue as APEC 2020 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention […]
EV advances come from Formula E electric racing
You may thank Formula E electric racing technology for some of the advances that ultimately make electric vehicles practical on ordinary highways. Just as automakers have sponsored racing programs to help perfect advances in conventional automotive technology, electronics makers are taking the same approach with Formula E racers to get a jump on components for […]
Hand-held spectrum analyzer app streamlines in-building signal mapping
A hand-held spectrum analyzer series (Spectrum Compact) coupled with NEON Signal Mapper software delivers real-time geo-referenced signal data that can be visualized both locally by the user and remotely on a 3D display. This new in-building signal testing solution leverages the Spectrum Compact’s exceptional measurement accuracy and industry-leading noise floor (-128 dB) to provide a […]
Researchers find ways to integrate GaN power circuits onto ICs
This year’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (December 7-11, 2019) played host to presentations describing advances in gallium-nitride technology that may lead to smaller, more integrated power circuitry such as single-chip switching power supplies and more efficient power transistors. The IEDM is considered one of the premier technical conferences for developments in semiconductor and integrated […]
