Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced availability of two COM-HPC Client Size C modules from Aaeon for 12th and 13th generation Intel Core processors. HPC-RPSC supports CPUs with up to 24 cores and 32 threads, and is aimed at complex parallel simulations and data analysis using inference modelling. Up to 64Gbyte of DDR5 SODIMM memory can be fitted and it ...

Allegro MicroSystems has announced a 4 x 4mm QFN current sensor that measures hundreds of amps bidirectionally, with a burden resistance of ~100μΩ (plus ~500pH). Called ACS37220, five versions are available, giving a choice of sensitivity (±100, 150 or 200A) and operation voltage (3.3 or 5V) – only the ±200A 3.3V option is not available (see table). Power consumption is ...

Microchip has announced its first 64bit processors, picking the RISC-V instruction set for the initial parts: an octa-core for space and a industrial quad-core. Although, “future PIC64 families will include devices based on RISC-V or Arm architectures”, said the company. PIC64-HPSC is the family name of the space processors, which have come out of a 2022 deal with NASA to ...

JEDEC has published “JESD405-1B JEDEC Memory Module Label – for Compute Express Link (CXL) V1.1”, providing detailed guidelines for CXL memory modules. These modules are described as “end-user friendly hot pluggable assemblies” and are for data centres and similar server applications. They conform to SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) EDSFF form factors E1.S and E3.S. CXL Specifically, JESD405-1B defines the ...

HighTec EDV-Systeme has announced a time-limited evaluation bundle for Autosar-based development using Infineon’s TC4x automotive processors, created with Infineon. In Autosar development, besides a run-time environment and an application layer, ‘basic software’ is needed – which consists of pre-defined modules that are summarised in layers. The layers are intended to make it easier to migrate software to different hardware. One of these ...

Würth Elektronik has created a range of opto-isilated triacs for controlling light AC loads and larger triacs. They are called WL-OCTR, and come in a choice of packages: through hole DIP-4 or DIP-6, or surface-mount SOP-4. Through-hole parts offer 5kV breakdown between input and output, which drops to 3.75kC for surface mount. DIP parts can also be supplied with legs ...

Vishay has introduced a series of surface-mount solid moulded tantalum chip capacitors specifically for electronic detonation systems “combining a robust mechanical design with low leakage current and stringent testing specifications”, according to the company. “Each part is 100% surge current tested using standard screening methods, and undergoes two additional screenings for key electrical characteristics to eliminate lot-to-lot variations.” Called TX3, ...

Infineon and Swoboda are developing current sensor modules for automotive traction inverters and battery management systems. The deal combines Infineon’s sensor ICs with Swoboda’s expertise in sensor modules, and the first product (photo right) is aimed specifically at Infineon’s ‘HybridPACK Drive G2’ three-phase traction motor drive modules. Later models will cover more general applications. The infineon-specific model is called the ...

Nearly a year after announcing its strategic partnership with FPGA developer QuickLogic to produce FPGA chiplets, YorChip elaborated on its plans to apply chiplets to more general-purpose applications. Start-up YorChip specialises in UCIe-compatible IP. Last August the company announced a partnership with FPGA provider QuickLogic to collaborate in developing FPGA chiplets optimised for low power consumption and low cost. The ...

CRT display technology is well-established and is still prevalent in maintaining effective flight operations. Dave Ketchum looks at the science behind CRT display technology in aircraft. Being able to pilot an aircraft requires having confidence in the onboard technology. One type of technology that is frequently used for this purpose, and has been for many years, is the cathode ray ...
