element14.com has launched the Sixth Sense Design Challenge to create a small remotely-operated or autonomous vehicle, such as a drone, robot or a tunnel exploration device. As an added twist, the project should showcase a “sixth sense” by displaying the capabilities of STMicroelectronics and TE Connectivity products to improve remote vehicle sensing and data collection. Ideas ...

Molex and Ixia to use Ixia’s K400 QSFP-DD to generate and receive 400 Gigabit Ethernet line rate traffic over Molex’s 3-meter Direct Attached Cable (DAC). Real-time analysis on K400 will showcase test results of pre-FEC (forward error correction) per lane BER (bit error rate) of around E-9. The superior performance of the “inherent” BER of the ...

Murata has added extra functionality to its ‘SimSurfing’ ( https://www.murata.com/en-global/tool ) tool for simulation of the company’s capacitor, inductor and filter components. The previous version of the tool allowed visualisation of individual component performance characteristics for impedance, transmission and reflection variation, with frequency and other operating conditions. The new tool features simulation of the application circuits, ...
