Murata has introduced the ultra-thin LW reversed, low equivalent series inductor (ESL) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with a capacitance value of 1.0µF ±20% for 4VDC-rated automotive applications.

Murata has announced the release of the BLM18KN_EH series of ferrite chip beads for noise suppression in power lines at temperatures up to 175°C. Target applications are automotive equipment such as engine and transmission electronic control units (ECUs) and turbo motor controllers, with the components meeting AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.

Murata Electronics has announced the availability of two new metal terminal type MLCCs (multilayer ceramic capacitor) with temperature compensating U2J characteristics. The KCM line for automotive applications delivers low loss and excellent stability performance in high temperature, high voltages, and high frequencies.

Murata is now including in its portfolio advanced 1D linear and 2D angular sensor devices from Crocus Technology based on tunnel magnetic resistance (TMR) technology.

Murata ID Solutions has helped Bayer leverage radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking in the first large-scale application of the technology in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The pioneering project has enabled Bayer to gain real-time visibility over its distribution processes to optimise customer service, improve product security and asset tracking, and enhance response to unprecedented threats.

Murata announces the integration of Wirepas Mesh, the wireless connectivity software focused on industrial grade, large-scale IoT applications, with its MBN52832 embedded Bluetooth Module, creating a scalable solution for low-power sensor networks.

Projections show that the trend for people living in urban, rather than rural, environments will continue, with hundreds of millions relocating to cities over the next few decades. Consequently, the demands being placed on local amenities and the rate at which available resources are consumed are both rising dramatically – and this, in turn, is putting intense strain on the existing infrastructure.

Murata has announced compatibility of its MBN52832 embedded Bluetooth Module with VitaNet Suite, the secure IoT platform from VitaNet, California, USA, delivering a solution for the automatic identification and authentication of Bluetooth Low Energy, (BLE), IoT devices.

Murata has announced the development of a tiny laminated multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with a capacitance value of 1.0μF in the 01005 inch size (0402M) measuring just 0.4x0.2x0.2mm.

Murata has announced the BLM18SP_SH1 series of surface mount ferrite beads constructed in a 1608 (1.6x0.8mm) package designed specifically for automotive applications.

Murata has announced the development of a new single package 6-DOF XYZ-Axis MEMs sensor for safety-critical automotive applications. 

Murata has now begun volume production of two new multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Each of these components exhibits low levels of equivalent series inductance (ESL) and is targeted at automotive implementation. Supplied in a 0402 format (with 1.0x0.5mm dimensions) and providing a 1μF capacitance, the NFM15HC105D0G3 a tiny three-terminal low-ESL MLCC.

Murata Electronics has announced that its LTE-M solution powered by Altair Semiconductor’s advanced cellular chipset has secured Deutsche Telekom certification for operating on the carrier’s German 4G LTE wireless network.

Murata has developed an all-in-one 24V battery module (LIPY041WWPCSY6), that is well suited for any industrial equipment requiring high levels of output such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robots.

Murata Manufacturing says it has succeeded in commercialising the world's smallest*1 PTC thermistor*2 (commonly known as a resettable fuse*3) in the 0201 inch size (0.6×0.3×0.3mm) for mobile devices, and has recently begun mass production of this device under the part number PRG03BC181QB6RL.

Murata has announced that it has created a tiny AI module in partnership with Google – the Coral Accelerator Module. The custom designed module packages Google’s Edge TPU ASIC within a miniaturised footprint.

Murata has announced a small new multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC). As portable devices such as smartphones, hearing aids, wearable technology and other modules become increasingly multifunctional and more compact, so the demand for higher circuit densities is growing among electronic engineers.

Murata has inaugurated a new factory in Vantaa, Finland, increasing the size of its existing production and product development unit by one-third. The company’s investment of €42 million has brought the total area of the new plant to around 16,000 square metres.

Murata has announced the release of the DLW32MH201YK2 common mode choke coil (CMCC) for Automotive Ethernet (100BASE-T1) applications. The choke coil is able to withstand extreme temperatures and is AEC-Q200 compliant.

Murata has announced the PQU650 series of open-frame, 650W-rated AC/DC power supplies by Murata Power Solutions. The PQU650 series offers the highest power-density product on the market, with forced air- and convection-cooled ambient ratings.
