Open-frame 9kHz to 54GHz module adds spectrum analysis to other systems
Anritsu has created a 9kHz to 54GHz spectrum analyser module that can be added to other test set-ups. MS27200A-0754, as it will be known, has 110MHz real-time analysis bandwidth, where it can can stream and capture IQ in 32bits, and -164 dBm DANL. That said, much of this performance requires options to be purchased and added. “The module is self-contained, ...
Integrate magnetics make 6A dc-dc as small as a rice grain
Texas Instruments has used integrated moulded magnetics to shrink the size of six multi-amp dc-dc converters – five buck types and one boost. The shrunk versions are branded ‘MagPack’ by the company, which will not reveal details of the construction except to say that the control IC and inductor coil are stacked before magnetic material for the inductor is over-moulded ...
Teledatics plans 1W Wi-Fi HaLow module for kilometre links
Teledatics is planning a 1W (30dBm) Wi-Fi HaLow wireless interface module, according to fabless chip company Newracom, which is supplying the key IC, an NRC7394. The module, to be called TD-Halom, will measure 18 x 13.5mm and 2.4mm high, and operate over 902 – 928MHz, which is only applicable to the Americas (ITU region 2). 30dB is the maximum power ...
PCIM: 1.2kV SiC half-bridge S3 modules
SemiQ will unveil 1,200V silicon carbide half-bridges packaged in S3 modules at PCIM next month. The industry-standard package is 62mm long and 26.3mm high. So far, only the part numbers and basic specs have been revealed: GCMX003A120S3B1-N 600A 3mΩ GCMX005A120S3B1-N 400A 4.5mΩ They will be aimed at induction heaters, welding equipment, uninterruptible power supplies photovoltaic inverters, wind inverters, energy storage, ...
10 x 20mm Bluetooth 5.0 module has 250m range
Infineon has introduced a ~10 x 20mm antenna-inclusive Bluetooth 5.0 (core spec) module that consumes 1.3mA receiving (-95dBm) and 3mA transmitting (0dBm). Called CYW20822-P4TAI040, it sleeps at 2μA when retaining 32kbyte of ram, or hibernates at 800nA – the latter rising to 950nA hibernating with the wake-up receiver enabled. At maximum transmit power (+4dBm) up to 250m of range can be ...
Drive for brushed and brushless dc motors to 1.8kW
Maxon has introduced a controller board for brushed DC and brush-less dc motors up to 1,800W (30A) continuous duty and 3,600W (60A) peak, designed for integrating inside products. Operation is across 10 to 60V and -30 to +25 °C (+75°C with derating). Called ESCON2 Module (part 783722), it is a four-quadrant device that can drive and brake in both direction, ...
LEM, Semikron Danfoss add current sensing to automotive power modules
LEM and Semikron Danfoss have teamed up to monitor current in automotive silicon carbide power mosfet modules. The result is ‘Nano’, a current sensor that is compatible with Semikron’s DCM SiC power modules, which are rated at 750 or 1,200V and 200 to 1,000A. “The idea behind the Nano concept was to design a core-based current sensor that could fit ...
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 forward guidance available, to some
For those of you wanting to design with Raspberry Pi’s much-awaited Compute Module 5 (CM5), the organisation has created a forward guidance document to help engineers get started. Electronics Weekly cannot publish any of it here, but you can download the CM5 forward guidance document from this web page – a sign-in is needed for this – creating a Raspberry ...
Modular 600W medical psu on 3 x 5inch footprint
Vox Power has introduced a compact 600W modular ac-dc power supply with four output slots, and a choice of eight output modules that can be mixed and matched among them. NEVO+600S is the name, and it measures ~41 x 78 x 134mm (plus blade terminals), giving it a 5 x 3inch footprint. “Tailored for demanding industrial applications where size, power ...
