Designed to withstand high temperatures up to +185 °C, the Vishay BCcomponents NTCLE350E4 delivers fast, high accuracy temperature measurement and sensing in a wide range of automotive applications.

The NiFe alloy of the NTCLE350E4’s conductor wire features the lowest thermal conductivity available on the market. As a result, the device offers a thermal gradient of less than 0.01 K/K (or 1 %), dissipating almost no heat to the surrounding environment and … Read More → "Vishay Intertechnology High Temperature NTC Thermistor With PEEK-Insulated, NiFe Leads Delivers Fast, High Accuracy Measurement in Automotive Applications"

MLCC World-Wide Shortages drive increased demand for Empower Semiconductor E-CAP™ Capacitor Technology: The Highest Performance, Smallest Size, and Most Configurable Capacitor Technology Platform Ever!

February 15, 2021

Milpitas, Calif., February 2021 — Empower Semiconductor, the world leader in Integrated Voltage Regulators (IVR), today announced it is increasing production of its E-CAP silicon capacitor technology. E-CAP is a vastly superior performing capacitor, far exceeding the semiconductor industry’s previously leading Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC), which is amidst another significant supply chain shortage. The MLCC market was estimated at $8.4B in 2018.

MLCC’s are space limiting, inefficient, unreliable, and low performing when compared to E-CAP. Empower Semiconductor has made the most significant advancement for capacitors in decades as E-CAP enables new possibilities for today’s applications due to … Read More → "MLCC World-Wide Shortages drive increased demand for Empower Semiconductor E-CAP™ Capacitor Technology: The Highest Performance, Smallest Size, and Most Configurable Capacitor Technology Platform Ever!"
