Vehicle gateway controllers feature I/O peripheral connectivity
Lanner Electronics has launched next-gen rugged, fanless V3 series vehicle gateway controllers - V3G and V3S. While V3G is targeted for smart bus implementation, including fleet management and passenger information display, V3S aims at video surveillance, recording and analytics. The V3 series gateways can operate under wide temperature range (-40 to 70°C), indicating their reliability in harsh environment.
What is a voltage supervisor?
This video from Texas Instruments will highlight the voltage supervisor and explain what a voltage supervisor is, how it works, and go over use cases.
RF ADC sets performance benchmarks for defence
Analog Devices has introduced a RF ADC that delivers speed and bandwidth. The AD9213 features higher parametric performance, Nyquist bandwidth, and RF sampling capabilities at higher analog input frequencies than conventional RF ADCs, allowing for the digitisation of RF signals up to 7GHz.
4.5 kV press-pack IEGT with improved rupture resistance
Toshiba Electronics Europe will be providing details on packaging for its 4.5kV class press-pack IEGT (PPI) devices at PCIM 2018 in Nürnberg. The packaging has been developed to further improve the rupture resistance of the device, thereby reducing the likelihood of damage to surrounding components and systems in the event of device failure. The package is the result of research undertaken to evaluate the optimum volume ratio of materia...
Rugged modular power supplies support 30W to 120W range
Elma has added four rugged power supply modules to its growing family of power solutions. The PCI-104-based PSUs can be used as the bottom module in any PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104, PCIe/104 or PCI/104-Express embedded system stack arrangement. They can also provide power for other small form factor (SFF) embedded computing systems, such as COM Express.
FETs deliver industry’s highest-performance upgrade path
Designers of Power Factor Correction stages (PFCs), Active Frontend Rectifiers, LLC converters and Phase Shift Full Bridge converters can now upgrade existing system performance by using the UJ3C1200 series of SiC JFET cascodes from UnitedSiC. With a voltage rating of 1200V and ON-resistances of 80 and 40 milliohms, these devices offer a ‘drop-in’ replacement solution for many existing IGBT, Si-MOSFET and SiC-MOSFET parts, with no cha...
Packaging keeps its cool

Redesigning a classic
High frequency ranges bring speed and noise immunity improvements to the established CWT range of wideband Rogowski current probes, says Chris Hewson, Power Electronic Measurements
Driving leading-edge SiC/GaN power converters
To take advantage of the new power switch technologies, a complete ecosystem of ICs must be implemented in converter design, starting with the gate driver, says Stefano Gallinaro, Analog Devices and Imad Owaineh, Watt&Well
GMR isolation boosts Profibus
Best practices for new designs of Profibus DP nodes, bus node isolation, Profibus compliance, and bus signal polarity are discussed by Tom Kugelstadt, Renesas Electronics
