Renesas Electronics introduced the world’s first 60 W wireless power receiver, the P9418, to deliver faster wireless charging experiences for smartphones, laptops and notebook devices in the industry’s highest power density solution...

Figure shows the classic implementation of an integrator. The circuit has two properties that may be undesirable in same applications: It necessarily inverts, and it requires a split-supply or midsupply reference...

STMicroelectronics’ 800 V 8H Triacs operate at full rated current up to the maximum junction temperature of 150 °C, allowing heatsinks in drives for AC loads to be up to 50% smaller to combine compact dimensions with high reliability...

A “swamp cooler” is an easy way to obtain effective air conditioning, especially in hot and dry climates, if a water source is readily available. Although most units are very reliable, the storage-reservoir control usually uses a single level-detector component...

Using measurements of anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and machine learning to extract data from raw signals, then matching them to accurate magnetic-anomaly maps, it may possible to navigate aircraft with reasonable accuracy independent of GPS...

The Raspberry Pi 400 is a Raspberry Pi 4 inside a keyboard...

The availability of a seemingly limitless variety of monolithic DAC chips makes it easy to implement most digital-to-analog-conversion applications with a single off-the-shelf device. Sometimes, an unusual set of requirements necessitates a multichip approach, however...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor announced the release of, AOTL66518 and AOB66518L, a 150 V MOSFET with low on-resistance and a high Safe Operating Area capability designed for demanding applications in Telcom Hot Swap...

Because they use practically no bias current (a useful feature in itself), JFETs also have practically no current noise. This feature means that you can use JFETs in very-high-resistance circuits and obtain good noise performance...

Microchip Technology announced its PIC18-Q84 family – the first PIC18 microcontroller (MCU) family that can be used to transmit and receive data through a Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate (CAN FD) bus...
