Zonal automotive power distribution can dramatically improve efficiency, weight, and cost: part 2
If something can’t go on, it won’t; supplying the automobile’s voracious electrical demands from a 12-V battery is an example of this reality. Topology changes affect the battery source Due to the 12-V issues, many newer ICE vehicles and nearly all EV/HEVs also have a 48-V battery. This battery serves loads that are more efficiently […]
What pressure levels impact the eardrum?
Previous blogs have discussed human body pressures including blood pressure and optical pressures. However, there are several more pressure measurements for different body locations that need to be considered. For example, the pressures created by different situations on the human ear, and specifically the eardrum, are critically important. High noise environments such as industrial machinery […]
Two Bluetooth modules bring high-end MCU, low power to IoT devices
u-blox has announced two additions to its Bluetooth LE portfolio, ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2. The modules are based on the latest generation nRF54 Series Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) from Nordic Semiconductor. They both support Bluetooth LE 5.4 and Thread/Matter technologies in a compact, power-efficient, and secure format. ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2 are designed for a wide range of IoT applications, including…
Zonal automotive power distribution can dramatically improve efficiency, weight, and cost: part 1
If something can’t go on, it won’t; supplying the automobile’s voracious electrical demands from a 12-V battery is an example of this reality. Today’s cars — whether based on the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE), some form of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), or even a pure electric vehicle (EV) — are loaded with electronics, sensors, […]
Expanded MCU portfolio optimized for machine learning at the edge
Infineon Technologies AG has unveiled the latest addition to its product lineup with the introduction of the PSOC™ Edge family of microcontrollers (MCUs) tailored specifically for machine learning (ML) applications. The release includes three distinct series, namely the E81, E83, and E84, each offering a flexible and compatible array of performance levels, features, and memory […]
Transformers designed for wide operating frequency and temperature ranges
TDK Corporation has introduced two new types of the EPCOS InsuGate series (B78541A). These compact SMT transformers with high working voltage are suitable for gate driver applications for IGBTs and MOSFETs in e-mobility and industrial electronics. The components with a MnZn ferrite core are designed for operating frequencies of 100 kHz to 500 kHz and […]
Medical speakers meet alarm signal requirements of IEC 60601-1-8
CUI Devices’ Audio Group announced a new line of medical speakers designed to meet the alarm signal requirements of IEC 60601-1-8. The CDSM and CMSM models feature resonant frequencies up to 400 Hz and a smooth frequency response with fluctuations no more than ±15 dB, making them ideal for supporting IEC 60601 medical designs. Available with a variety […]
How does OPC UA PubSub data support connector digital twins?
The use of digital twins can be an important factor in maximizing the performance and flexibility of Industry 4.0 factories. Open Platform Communications (OPC) is the interoperability standard for the secure and reliable exchange of data in industrial automation environments. OPC has been expanded to include the unified architecture (UA), standardized as IEC 62541, that […]
