High-bandwidth socket incorporates liquid cooling for heat dissipation
Ironwood Electronics has announced a high-power, liquid-cooled socket for multi-chip modules. Constructed with stamped spring pin technology to accommodate 15+GHz bandwidth along with liquid cooling for dissipating 40+ W to maintain temperature below 85 C. With the spring-loaded compression mechanism, swapping the device and characterizing it while maintaining thermal requirements is straightforward. .
Active baluns bridge the microwave and digital worlds
To achieve the datasheet performance of ultra-high-speed data converters, now clocking to 64 GS/sec, the handoff to and from the microwave domain must be near perfect. To preserve the data converters’ spurious-free dynamic range, a new category of component has been developed that converts between the differential and single-ended signal domains while amplifying and filtering […]

February 2024 Issue: Power Electronics Handbook
Cold starts, hot power markets, and great expectations Recent cold spells across the United States have shifted the focus from “range anxiety” in electric vehicles (EVs) to concerns about their performance in cold…how they start, and how far they can go. Buzzworthy? Apparently. Newsworthy? Maybe, but it’s not new news. Reflecting on a youthful […]
Design and simulation powerhouses merge to deliver “silicon-to-systems” approach
Synopsys, a semiconductor design technology company, has announced its acquisition of Ansys, a simulation and analysis solutions provider. The deal, valued at approximately $35 billion, is expected to close in the first half of 2025, pending regulatory and shareholder approval. The acquisition aims to address the fusion of electronics and physics, augmented with AI, and […]
