Microchip Technology Inc. via its Microsemi subsidiary, collaborated with STAR-Dundee to create an evaluation platform that implements SpaceFibre technology, which was recently recognized by the VITA Standards Organization (VSO) as a control-and-data plane option for its SpaceVPX interconnect standard. The SpaceFibre standard is already published as a very high-speed serial link standard by the European Cooperation […]
eSPI to LPC bridge enables integration of standard in legacy industrial equipment
As the industrial computing industry transitions from Low Pin Count (LPC) to enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (eSPI) bus technology, developers face high development costs to update existing equipment to the new standard. To allow developers to implement the eSPI standard while preserving large investments in legacy LPC equipment, Microchip Technology Inc.announced the industry’s first commercially […]
Eight-port PoE switch provides 60 W per port
The adoption of commercial smart lighting systems has grown significantly as organizations strive to improve energy efficiency and operational costs in buildings. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is rising in popularity for these systems, providing a reliable and easy-to-install solution that manages power and data over a single Ethernet cable. To support larger and more efficient […]
Specialized diodes, Part 2: Varactor, Gunn, and PIN diodes
Part 1 of this FAQ reviewed the standard PN semiconductor diode, and looked at some specialized variations called the tunnel, Zener/avalanche, and Schottky diodes. Part 2 briefly explores the varactor, Gunn, and PIN diodes. Q: What about the varactor diode? A: The varactor diode (Figure 1), also called a voltage variable capacitor (VVC) or varicap […]
Latest release of synchronization device addresses timing adds 10 Gb Ethernet support
One of the biggest 5G network deployment challenges is synchronizing higher volumes of more densely packed base stations. Another is keeping services operating through Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) lapses due to vulnerabilities such as jamming, spoofing or loss of signal. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi subsidiary, is solving these and other challenges for […]
Specialized diodes, Part 1: Tunnel, Zener/Avalanche, and Schottky diodes
There are diode varieties which do much more than just block current flow in one direction and allow it in the other; some of these special diodes have favorable attributes while others are essential in modern electronics. Every electronic engineer is familiar with the diode: it’s a basic, widely used, two-terminal semiconductor device. The diode’s […]
Power SiC components include 600-V MOSFETs, 600/1,200-V Schottky barrier diodes
Demand is growing for SiC power products that improve system efficiency, robustness and power density in automotive, industrial and aerospace and defense applications. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi subsidiary, today announced the production release of a family of SiC power devices that offer proven ruggedness and the performance benefits of wide-bandgap technology. Complemented by Microchip’s broad range […]
Key factors to consider when choosing a microcontroller
When designing an embedded system with an MCU, which one should you pick? This guide provides you with a quick overview to help you narrow down your choices. A microcontroller (MCU), is the smallest and most basic computer. Running on a single chip, it has a CPU, memories (RAM and ROM), and interfaces (input/output ports) […]
