The LilyPad Arduino USB board is designed for e-textiles and wearables projects. They can be sewn into fabric and to power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. The board can be attached directly to a computer using only a micro USB cable. The LilyPad Arduino USB microcontroller board is available from Cool Components. The […]

In order to meet the frequency ranges of satellite communication, radar and mobile communication systems, Siglent has expanded the addressable frequency range of its RF instruments to 26.5GHz. The two newest members, the SSA5000A spectrum analyser and SSG5000A RF/MW signal generator instruments support the X- and K-band measurements up to 26.5GHz. They have been added

A resonant transformer integrates an inductor in a single package for inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) applications. Vishay Intertechnology said the MRTI5R5EZ saves space and simplifies PCB layout in LLC (inductor-inductor-capacitor) applications.  It features tuneable magnetising and leakage inductance, minimal parasitic variation and “excellent” heat dissipation performance, Vishay added. The 5.5kW Vishay Custom Magnetics MRTI5R5EZ is believed to

Custom paint colours for Metcase’s aluminium electronic enclosures now include eight new colour options. They are available at no extra cost, confirmed Metcase. The company has added eight new shades to its range of always-in-stock paints. These additions bring the total number of colours available to 37, plus anodising, passivate, pre-treatment and anti-corrosion finishes. The

u-blox has announced that Move-X has chosen to integrate u-blox positioning technology and u-blox cloud positioning service in their new LoRa connectivity solution – the Cicerone board. Cicerone board leverages u-blox CloudLocate service On the move and in the field, asset tracking IoT devices need to be ultra-low-power. Move-X’s new Cicerone board gives asset tracking

Siemens Digital Industries Software has collaborated with semiconductor foundry United Microelectronics (UMC) to develop and implement a multi-chip 3D IC planning, assembly validation and parasitic extraction (PEX) workflow for the foundry’s wafer-on-wafer and chip-on-wafer technologies.  Stacking silicon die or chiplets on top of each other in a single packaged device allows companies to achieve the

Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 platforms developed by Qualcomm extend battery life in wearable devices, said the company. They are designed for low power operation in connected wearable devices with a focus on extended battery life and sleek designs. Manufacturers can scale, differentiate and develop products faster using these platforms, confirmed
