Nordic Semiconductor rolls out its unique nRF91 Series cellular IoT module to all customers and makes cellular IoT accessible to any application

December 19, 2018
The nRF9160 – which will be available within the next 24 hours from major global distributors such as Digi-Key Electronics, Mouser Electronics, and Premier Farnell (amongst others) – is significantly smaller, lower power, and has more security features than any other cellular IoT module launched to date for both LTE-M and NB-IoT applications. It also has a host of unique IoT-targeted features, is certified for global operation, and is dramatically easier to design-in

High-Efficiency Super-Junction MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics Target Energy-Saving Power Topologies

December 19, 2018

Geneva, December 12, 2018 — STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh™ M6 series 600V super-junction transistors are engineered for high efficiency in medium-power resonant and hard-switching converter topologies.

The threshold voltage optimized for soft switching makes the the new transistors ideally suited for LLC resonant converters and boost-PFC converters in energy-conscious applications. MDmesh M6 devices perform efficiently in hard-switching topologies, too, with their capacitance profile enhancing light-load efficiency and gate charge (Qg) as low as 16 nC permitting high switching frequencies.

In addition, ST’s state-of-the-art M6 super-junction technology helps reduce RDS(ON) to as little as 0.036Ω, … Read More → "High-Efficiency Super-Junction MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics Target Energy-Saving Power Topologies"
