At SAE Convergence 2014, 21st to 22nd October in Detroit, USA, Altera is demonstrating FPGA solutions which allow designers to rapidly add features and functionality to their automotive systems. Product highlights at the show will include solutions for ADAS and infotainment applications based on Cyclone FPGAs.

GOEPEL electronics has launched the CION-LX Module/FXT96, a new Boundary Scan module with high functionality and dynamics for test of analogue, digital and mixed signals at the ITC International Test Conference 2014 in Seattle. The module allows the extension of Boundary Scan test to non scannable circuit components such as connectors, clusters or analogue interfaces.

  Scheduled for Thursday 6th November in California, USA, Metcal will exhibit at the SMTA LA/Orange County Expo & Tech Forum. Company representatives will be on hand to demonstrate Metcal’s full line of solder fume extractors and convection rework systems.

The 'High-Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference', scheduled for 18th to 20th November in Illinois, USA, focuses on best practices and innovative technologies for meeting manufacturing challenges and producing reliable hardware. Celestica's Jason Keeping will chair session two: 'Ultra-Thin (UT) and Nano-Coatings ~ Polymer films designed to product circuit assemblies in harsh environments'.

Rohde & Schwarz has presented a compact test setup for generating and analysing signals up to 67 GHz at the 5G Global Summit in Busan, South Korea. The test setup consists of the up to 20 GHz R&S SMW200A high-end vector signal generator, a harmonic mixer from subsidiary Radiometer Physics GmbH (RPG) and the R&S FSW67 high-end signal and spectrum analyser.

The LED professional Symposium + Expo 2014 (LpS 2014), sponsored by UL, Auer Lighting, Tridonic and Osram, has drawn plaudits from many participants that attended the event which showcases the area of design and engineering for future LED lighting systems. “In my opinion, the LpS is one of the most important global LED events. It is really one of the only places where you get all aspects related to the LED”, said Heinz Seyringer, Hea...

There can’t be a more suitable place show an automotive capacitor than Munich, home to BMW, so distributor TTI has chosen electronica to feature capacitors for high temperature automotive applications from Kemet. The devices are ideal for automotive applications above +125°C and up to +200°C, electric and hydraulic steering systems, electronic braking systems, engine and transmission control, as well as stop/start micro hybrid.

At electronica 2014, 11th to 14th November in Munich, exhibitors will present new technologies and products in the medical-electronics sector. These will focus on the ongoing miniaturisation, increased efficiency and increased networking of components that make it easier to recognise diseases early and cure them.

At the Infineon stand (A5.506), visitors can expect to see a raft of live demos, exhibits and 'product to system' innovations which add value to application designs. Company CEO, Dr. Reinhard Ploss, will discuss the IoT at the CEO round table and other speakers from the company have slots at the Embedded Platform Conference, Automotive Conference and Embedded Forum.

Visit the Würth Elektronik stand (A2.602) where attendees will be guided quickly and flexibly through the PCB jungle. Product highlights on the Würth booth include SKEDD PCB connecting technology, which enables cables, plug connectors, boards and components to be connected directly to the PCB.
