Miniature SIP Ac-Dc Power Supplies Maximize Board Space

September 4, 2013

TUALATIN, Ore. — September 03, 2013 — Today, CUI Inc launched their smallest ac-dc power supplies yet with the release of the PBK ultra-compact SIP series. Available in 1 W, 3 W, and 5 W families, the modules measure as small as 1.38 x 0.43 x 0.94 in. (35 x 11 x 24 mm), occupying less pcb real-estate than other conventional ac-dc power supplies, thus allowing designers to fully maximize space where on-board ac-dc power conversion is required.

The high density PBK series is offered in single output voltages of 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, and 24 Vdc and can operate at ac input voltages between 85~264 Vac. For high voltage dc-dc applications, the … Read More → "Miniature SIP Ac-Dc Power Supplies Maximize Board Space"

Advancing Graphene for Post-Silicon Computer Logic

September 4, 2013

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — A team of researchers from the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering have solved a problem that previously presented a serious hurdle for the use of graphene in electronic devices.

Graphene is a single-atom thick carbon crystal with unique properties beneficial for electronics including extremely high electron mobility and phonon thermal conductivity. However, graphene does not have an energy band gap, which is a specific property of semiconductor materials that separate electrons from holes and allows a transistor implemented with a given material to be completely switched off.

Programming on-board flash and EEPROM memory at SPI bus speeds from an FPGA explained in new eBook

September 4, 2013

Richardson, TX (Sept. 4, 2013) ? Designers and manufacturing engineers face challenges when it comes to programming flash and EEPROM memories that are already soldered to a circuit board. Often, the software or firmware content of these memories has not yet been completed when hardware prototypes are being validated and tested prior to volume manufacturing. As a result, the memories must be programmed and sometimes reprogrammed in-system and as quickly as possible, especially in manufacturing.
