Snap-in electrolytics save space over previous Vishay parts

Vishay has introduced a series of snap-in power aluminium electrolytic capacitors for use in high power density designs. The ‘257 PRM-SI’ series offers up to 20% higher ripple current than its previous solutions, in case sizes that are up to 20% smaller, while providing longer useful life to 5,000 hours at 85°C, according to the ...

Hardware blocks chip hacking by analogue attack

UltraSoC and Agile Analog have teamed-up to deliver hardware-based security against ‘analogue interference’ attacks such as power supply or clock signal tampering. The aim is to combining UltraSoC’s embedded on-chip analytics with Agile Analog’s on-chip analogue monitoring IP. As well as voltage and clock glitching, these side-channel attacks can also include deliberate brown-outs and temperature variations, ...
