Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT printer friendly version Wireless connectivity expanded Espressif Systems has introduced two new members of its ESP32 wireless SoC family: the ESP32-E22, the company’s first Wi-Fi 6E connectivity chip, and the ESP32-H21, an ultra-low-power Bluetooth LE microcontroller aimed at coin-cell and battery-powered devices.

Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT printer friendly version Integrated X-band radar front-end module The Qorvo QPF5012 is a fully integrated X-band transmit/receive front-end module operating from 8,5 to 10,5 GHz, delivering 10 W of transmit power. With 42% power-added efficiency and 2,1 dB noise figure in a 7 x 5 mm package, the QPF5012 enables designers to extend radar range, reduce thermal load and improve detection sensitivity without increasing system complexity.

DSP, Micros & Memory printer friendly version 1 GHz crossover MCU with Arm Cortex Cores i.MX RT1170 Crossover MCUs, from NXP Semiconductor, are dual-core devices featuring an Arm Cortex-M7 and Arm Cortex-M4 for real-time microcontroller (MCU) performance and high integration for automotive, industrial and IoT applications. The i.MX RT1170 Arm Cortex-M7 operates at up to 1 GHz and the Arm Cortex-M4 up to 400 MHz with 2 MB on-chip RAM.

Power Electronics / Power Management printer friendly version More room to scale Designing secure, connected systems often means balancing performance, memory, integration, and cost. With the latest STM32H5 lines from STMicroelectronics, you can now scale within the same platform, from a compact 1 Mbyte device to higher-memory MCUs for graphics-rich and feature-heavy designs.

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services printer friendly version Smarter local buying could reboot South Africa’s manufacturing sector South Africa’s manufacturing sector has become largely stagnant, with years of factory closures, shrinking order books, rising input costs and erratic demand hollowing out industrial capacity that once anchored hundreds of thousands of jobs. Yet this decline is not inevitable.

Passive Components printer friendly version Harnessing Leakage Inductance Würth Electronics has expanded its WE-MCRI product series with the new 1090HL variant (HL = High Leakage), a coupled inductor specifically designed to improve the performance of SEPIC, ZETA and Ćuk converters. This unique double choke takes an unconventional approach by deliberately harnessing leakage inductance, which is normally treated as a parasitic element in conventional designs.

Opto-Electronics printer friendly version High-voltage X-Ray generators for advanced imaging High-voltage X-ray generators form the core of every advanced imaging and inspection platform, shaping the clarity, stability, and reliability of each scan. Backed by more than three decades of engineering expertise, X-ray has developed a high-performance range of HV generators designed for accuracy, long-term durability, and seamless integration into OEM environments.
