CSP comparator operates from 1.8 V
Squeezed in a footprint smaller than 1mm2, STMicroelectronics’ new TS985 comparator combines battery-friendly micropower performance with enhanced dynamic range and high speed. The 0.8mm x 1.2mm x 0.52mm Chip-Scale Package (CSP) makes the device ideal for space-constrained applications such as smartphones, smartwatches, digital cameras, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and portable test equipment. The TS985 […]
Data acquisition system protects smart grid equipments, improves power delivery
Analog Devices announced a data acquisition system (DAS) that enhances smart grid equipment monitoring in order to protect equipment from harmful system faults and improve power delivery to residences and businesses. As electricity demand grows and renewable energy generation is added, utility companies must increase the scope, granularity and accuracy of monitoring points across the distribution […]
Class I ceramic SMD capacitors feature high stability, extended temperature range
KEMET Corporation, a leading global supplier of electronic components, introduced its advanced U2J Class-I ceramic dielectric capacitors. This U2J surface mount platform offers more than twice the capacitance available in C0G/NP0. It also provides superior temperature performance over X7R, X8R and X5R, rendering it an ideal capacitor solution for many applications including telecom, data acquisition […]
Hybrid inks for flexible electronics need no sintering
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) are building tools and developing a framework that developers can use to easily perform data analytics over a multitude of devices. Rather than having developers design custom algorithms for each network of devices, the framework of software RPI has in mind sits on all the network devices. The cloud […]
Harvesting power for IoT devices
by Tony Armstrong, Linear Technology Sometimes energy for IoT devices comes from the likes of thermoelectric generators and thermopiles thanks to power management ICs that double as energy misers. Power consumption is a controversial topic when it comes to IoT devices. At the low end of the power spectrum are devices where most of the […]
Sensors drive IIoT innovations
by Wiren Perera, ON Semiconductor The IoT has spawned the concept of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The IIoT includes the concept of greatly enhanced connectivity in areas such as industrial automation, security and surveillance and building automation. The IIoT uses sensors and actuators embedded in equipment and objects, linked via wired or wireless […]
How IoT and mixed-signal designs will drive SiP tech in 2016
By Ian Dennison As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes an increasingly competitive market, we should, in 2016, expect new package and board technologies to provide much of the innovation needed for successful IoT products. Since IoT products are driven by the need for the smallest form factor (think wearables) and ultra-low power (for longer […]
