We’re all familiar with static electricity and its many “appearances.” It can be an annoying spark when you walk across a rug; allow you to stick a balloon against a wall after rubbing it across your ...

The ongoing computerization of vehicle systems is leading to additional electronic control units (ECUs) and sensors to ensure effective control. So, Hall effect sensors are widely adopted for their ...

There is a lot of demand for the tiny speaker in smart glasses and smartwatches to be even smaller and lighter. However, the century-old micro-speakers built around a dynamic driver, coil, and ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

Trying to troubleshoot a fault or malfunction in many of today’s consumer-electronic devices is a challenge. For nearly all portable products and many non-portable ones, this is due to several reasons ...

Ultracapacitors are moving beyond the status of a component in a quest for new energy storage solutions and UCAP Power’s funding led by investment management company Grantchester C Change is a ...

3D sensing—now widely used in autonomous driving, AR/VR, healthcare, industrial automation, robotics, and surveillance—employs depth sensing as a major building block to facilitate real-time object ...

Timing is a major source of performance challenges during system verification, qualification, and field operation in aerospace-defense electronics. As a result, a significant amount of engineering ...

Let’s face it: every engineer with any hands-on experience has at least one tale of a challenging debug battle fought and eventually won (or at least presumed to have been won). This is the scenario ...

While the electric vehicle (EV) industry is continually looking to maximize driving range, a new sensor for automotive battery management systems (BMS) claims to provide accurate state of charge (SOC) ...

Three new electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices for automotive Ethernet unveiled by Nexperia are fully compliant with the IEEE OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 test specifications, ...

A 12-bit current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) IP supports data rates of up to 5 Gsps and is now available for licensing. The DAC IP core—silicon-proven in 28HPC+ process ...
