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…
SMT isolation transfers measure just 7.2 x. 485 mm
XING Mobility has announced the official release of its IMMERSIOTM Cell-to-Pack (CTP) product at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany. This innovative battery pack, which features high energy density and exceptional heat dissipation and safety features, will be presented for the first time to the global audience at the event. XING’s IMMERSIO CTP Solution…
How much can GaN improve sustainability and reduce CO2 emissions?
Gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors are about less. Less CO2 emission from device fabrication, less materials in the devices and power converters using GaN, less cost due to higher frequency operation and smaller passive components, and less thermal dissipation due to higher efficiencies. Those performance factors combine to improve the sustainability of power converters built […]
Airline hydraulics expands Phoenix contact coverage
Airline Hydraulics Corporation announced the expansion of its authorized sales territory to include Western New York and New England. Local industrial automation users will see increased Phoenix Contact product availability, application support, and access to Airline’s eCommerce, airlinehyd.com, for easy online ordering. The expansion is part of the Airline’s commitment to providing productivity and safety […]
200-W half-brick converters feature 14-to-160-V inputs
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 200W-rated TDK-Lambda PYH200 series of half-brick DC-DC converters. Capable of operating from an ultra-wide 12:1 input voltage of 14 to 160Vdc, the converters are compatible with 24V, 48V, 72V, or 110Vdc nominal system voltages. Applications include railroad rolling stock and trackside equipment, robotics, power generation, and scientific research […]
12 GHz: Claims and counterclaims take hold
FCC records are full of comments, replies, reports, and a slide deck citing contrasting positions on 12 GHz and the feasibility of it becoming part of 5G frequency allocations. Proponents of using 12 GHz for 5G have filed an updated report with the FCC claiming that 5G can share the 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz…
GNSS antennas feature near-band filtering
Tallysman Wireless is announcing that it has added eXtended Filtering (XF) to the housed and embedded lightweight HC977XF (triple-band + L-Band), HC882XF (dual band + L-Band), and HC872XF (dual-band (GPS and GLONASS) + L-Band) precision helical GNSS antennas. Tallysman has designed the XF feature to mitigate interference from all near-band signals and ensure that the […]
New backshells give EMI/RFI protection to horizontal Gecko connectors
Harwin has introduced horizontal backshells for its Gecko-Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) series of lightweight, high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. These backshells ensure a fully EMI/RFI shielded connection for horizontal 1.25-mm pitch board-to-cable connections. Previously Gecko EMI/RFI shielding was only available on vertical board-to-cable orientations. This new development will be of real value to applications requiring EMI/RFI protection, but where […]
Dual-channel low-side 4/5-A gate driver ICs handle fast MOSFET, WBG switches
Infineon Technologies AG has released the new EiceDRIVER 2EDN product family. Aiming at space-limited designs, the next-generation devices complement the existing 2EDN driver ICs by providing higher system-level efficiencies, excellent power density, and consistent system robustness with fewer external components. Building upon this expansion, the 2EDN family is now able to drive the power switch […]
