SoC adds Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E to IoT devices
The CW641 from NXP supports the latest version of Wi-Fi while still supporting legacy versions.
Reverse polarity SMA cable assemblies for antenna applications
Amphenol RF has expanded its fixed length cable assembly product line to include additional RP-SMA connector configurations. These new cable assemblies feature the popular RG-174 and RG-316 flexible cables and join the robust offering of previously released RG-58 options. Straight plug and bulkhead jack configurations are available in a number of standard lengths from 6 […]
Atomic clock works from 5 V, outputs CMOS-compatible signals
The new IQRB-4 bridges the gap between the 12 V powered IQRB-1, IQRB-2, and IQRB-3 and the recently released 3.3 V powered ICPT-1. IQD has been active in the frequency products market for over 45 years and in recent years developed its know-how to specialize in the field of atomic clocks. The company has invested […]
MPPT chip boosts efficiency of space-constrained solar harvesters
Designers of space-constrained designs can now significantly increase runtime with the MAX20361 single-/multi-cell solar harvester with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. The industry’s smallest solar harvesting solution is ideal for space-constrained applications such as wearables and emerging internet of things (IoT) applications. Designers are often challenged with the tradeoff between […]
CES 2021: The engineering perspective
CES isn’t just about the latest consumer gadgets, there’s something for engineers, too.
NVMe: The storage underneath 5G and edge computing
Sold-state drives using the Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe) architecture support computers that include wireless routers, IoT and sensor network gateways, video cameras, and industrial PCs. Solid-state drives (SSDs) connect to hosts over PCIe, which can even run over network fabrics such as Ethernet. SSDs connected using NVMe and PCIe can attain higher data rates than…
Platform helps build IoT networks
Smart home integration is growing in popularity for many homeowners but is usually only possible with advanced whole-house systems. Quantum Integration’s internet-of-things (IoT) platform provides users complete control; whether novice or expert, anyone can build a powerful IoT network that can control just about anything from simple buttons to complex home integration systems. How is […]
High-temperature EEPROMs reduce initial data writing time by 30%
New 125°C operation-compatible I2C bus EEPROMs, BR24H-5AC series, targets applications that require data storage under harsh environments, such as factory settings for onboard cameras and sensors, airbag operating history, and data logging for always-on operating industrial automation systems and servers. The BR24H-5AC series of 125°C operation-compatible EEPROMs is the first in the industry to achieve […]
Low-cost non-isolated POL regulator modules provide up to 2 A
Introducing the SVR surface mount and VR through-hole, non-isolated DC-DC switching regulators. With efficiencies of up to 96% and operating temperatures of -40°C to +85°C, the Point of Load (PoL) devices are ideal as replacements for low-efficiency linear regulators. They operate from a wide input range of up to 36V and feature a low quiescent […]
