Precision thin-film resistors offer ±0.01% tolerances, ±2ppm TCRs
With the proliferation of electronics in nearly every market sector, there is an increasing need for precision resistors. For markets such as medical instrumentation and control, industrial and automotive controls, communications, and test & measurement, these precision resistors must maintain electrical and environmental stability long term. Stackpole’s RNCF series of precision thin film resistors meet these […]
What causes signal attenuation in a PCB and how can it be controlled?
Except for the most basic designs, system clock rates are inexorably creeping upward across a wide range of applications, from 5G telephony to automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), medical, industrial, and mil/aero systems. As frequencies rise into the GHz range, the need for impedance control to minimize signal attenuation and protect signal integrity gets […]
Automotive-grade chip resistors excel at handling pulses
High-reliability chip resistors can be more difficult to find and even more so when there are pulse handling requirements. Typically, the manufacturing process for thick film chip resistors allows for variation in the calibration trim, leading to variation in pulse handling performance. Stackpole’s recently released RPCA series addresses all these needs. The RPCA has limited to […]
6MHz rail-to-rail op amps boost performance in industrial and automotive apps
STMicroelectronics is simplifying designers’ search for high-performing operational amplifiers (op amps) by introducing three new 6MHz rail-to-rail devices with strong all-around parameters including a wide operating voltage range and low noise. The TSB511, TSB512, and TSB514 are single, dual, and quad op amps, respectively. They can operate from a single supply in the range from 2.7V to […]
Precision op-amps offer wide dynamic range, low noise
Diodes Incorporated is addressing the need for advanced signal conditioning in modern automotive designs by introducing two precision operational amplifiers (op-amps) aimed at different signal frequency scenarios. The low signal-to-noise ratio characteristics of the DIODES AS2376Q mean it is optimized for high-frequency usages, such as in on-board chargers (OBCs), DC-DC converters, battery management system (BMS) […]
MELF resistors offer 0.3-W power rating
MELF resistors are known for their superior thermal characteristics and their environmental and electrical stability. Many types of applications such as instrumentation and automation controls, automotive controls, and metering benefit from the exceptional performance provided by MELF resistors. In designs where space is critical, it is important to maximize the power ratings for resistors to […]

Dedicated antennas optimized for light rail vehicles have been launched by HUBER+SUHNER, further expanding its offering to the transport sector. As all transportation market segments look to cope with rising bandwidth demand, rail, light rail, and road vehicles all have different requirements. The SENCITY Tram rooftop antenna range has been developed to provide an all-in-one […]
How can MBSE be used in autonomous transportation?
One of the primary uses for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is the design of complex cyber-physical systems and systems of systems. Autonomous transportation certainly qualifies for that description. MBSE replaces the traditional document-based system engineering process with linked models to represent and analyze systems. The use of MBSE with aircraft and spacecraft is the subject […]
