3M and Rainbow Technology Systems Collaboration introduces New Photo Tool Coating

Rainbow Technology Systems (RTS) and 3M’s Protective Materials business have joined efforts to make liquid coating protection for photo-tools available for use withthe RTS Panda coating machine. 

After several years of development, 3M’s proprietary coating solution is suitable for application by the RTS Panda coater and is ideal for use on photo-tools used in PCB manufacturing.

The Panda coater applies four microns of a liquid coating, which cures under ultra violet (UV) light.

The 3M coating is optically clear, and provides a non-stick and abrasion resistant surface that protects the surface of the photo-tool.

The RTS Panda coater incorporates patent applied for technology reducing wastage and floor space and can accept sheets of different dimensions without adjustment.

The coating solution (PPC-007) and the Panda unit will be available through RTS in Europe and the UK. Sales and distribution arrangements in Japan and other geographic markets are under discussion between RTS and 3M’s Protective Materials business.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

USB Power Delivery: Power for Portable (and Other) Products
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Bel
USB Type C power delivery was created to standardize medium and higher levels of power delivery but it also can support negotiations for multiple output voltage levels and is backward compatible with previous versions of USB. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Bruce Rose from Bel/CUI Inc. explore the benefits of USB Type C power delivery, the specific communications protocol of USB Type C power delivery, and examine why USB Type C power supplies and connectors are the way of the future for consumer electronics.
