High-rez 35-mm format CCD image sensor addresses inspection and surveillance apps
ON Semiconductor is extending capabilities for critical high resolution industrial imaging with the introduction of a new 43 megapixel (MP) resolution, charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor in the convenient 35 mm optical format. The KAI-43140 is ideal for use in applications where both very high resolution image capture and excellent image uniformity is required, such as end […]
Teardown: Leviton ground fault circuit interrupter
GFCIs detect hazardous current paths to ground and ground-to-neutral faults. A teardown reveals they are relatively simple but have circuit details that can be tricky to figure out. Bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms with access to water are required to employ ac outlets with ground-fault circuit protection. GFCIs disconnect the output if they sense a […]
Fully compliant USB-C 1.3 devices sport ultra-small footprints
The latest set of USB-C (Type-C) devices from ON Semiconductor are fully compliant with the latest revision 1.3 specification, enabling easy integration into USB-C systems. The new devices include two controllers and a switch, all of which are aimed at applications such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, as well as industrial and automotive use cases. The FUSB303 port […]
Wireless charging products to incorporate Qi- and PMA-compliant controller
ON Semiconductor has announced a strategic collaboration with ConvenientPower Systems (CPS) whereby CPS will design, develop and market in-vehicle wireless charging solutions using ON Semiconductor’s NCV6500 application dedicated, power management controller. The combined initiative is based around a single architecture that is scalable for multiple devices and coils to 15 W. A novel and patented technique for […]
Scalable image-sensor platform for ADAS and autonomous driving aims to speed design, implementation
A scalable family of CMOS image sensors address the spectrum of applications for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. Developed by ON Semiconductor, the sensor family offers car makers and tier-one suppliers a choice of imaging devices based on a common platform and feature set. The sensors have resolutions scaling from 8.3 megapixels […]
Top microcontroller stories of 2017
Here are the power electronics features that got the most interest from readers in 2017. What is an open drain? Open-collector and -drain devices sink current when controlled to one state and have no current flow (i.e., output a high impedance state) in the other state. It is fairly common to […]
Top power electronics stories of 2017
Here are the power electronics features that got the most interest from readers in 2017. Teardown: Inside Ikea’s smart LED bulb As smart LED bulbs go, this one is pretty simple. It doesn’t incorporate any sort of smartphone app and can’t be controlled over the Internet, like some other smart bulbs […]
