QML Class V components are intended for use in the most demanding space flight applications and must me...
Next-gen smartphone battery inspired by the gut
Researchers have developed a prototype of a next-gen lithium-sulphur battery which takes its inspiration in part from the cells lining the human intestine. The batteries, if commercially developed, would have five times the energy density of the lithium-ion batteries used in smartphones and other electronics.
Aerospace power core module with integrated FPGA
Microsemi announced its aerospace power core module (PCM) with an integrated field programmable gate array (FPGA) and hybrid power drive (HPD) stage. The PCM controls the electrical motors used in applications such as primary flight control actuation, landing gear systems and other systems. The device interfaces seamlessly with both aircraft power supplies and flight controllers, providing vital sensor feedback for health monitoring.

Output powers range from 60-150W with ATX compatibility in a low profile 1U format. By using high efficiency thermal design techniques, the MPD series can operate in fanless configuration up to 50°C ambient without de-rating and have a maximum rating of 70°C.
Compact DC/DC coverters have high power density
The MYMGK series of miniature 'Mono Block' type surface mount Point-of-Load (PoL) DC/DC converters has been announced by Murata. These non-isolated 'Mono Block' type converters are available in two models, a 6 and 20A. Each version is available with two output voltage range options.
Ultralow power transistors could function without battery
A newly-developed form of transistor opens up a range of new electronic applications including wearable or implantable devices by drastically reducing the amount of power used. Devices based on this type of ultralow power transistor, developed by engineers at the University of Cambridge, could function for months or even years without a battery by 'scavenging' energy from their environment.
