Auto caps compensate for temperature

Murata has launched two new metal terminal type multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) series with temperature compensating U2J characteristics. The KCM line for automotive applications delivers low loss and excellent stability performance in high temperature, high voltages, and high frequencies. Similarly, the KRM was developed for general purpose functions, with certain models rated at 1,250 VDC. ...

Alias-free ADC

ADI has introduced an alias-free ADC that aims to simplify front-end design and speed up time to market for precision DC-350kHz applications. Traditional precision data-acquisition signal chain design is a time-consuming activity as designers balance anti-alias filter requirements, passive component tolerances, phase and gain errors, as well as high-speed ADC drive requirements. The AD7134 introduces ...

E-skin detects both temperature and force with one sensor

Ion-based sensing is at the heart of an e-skin that can separately detect temperature and pressure through a single mechanism. To create the skin, Pohang University of Science and Technology (Postech) teamed up with Stanford University. “Human skin is freely stretchable yet unbreakable because it is full of electrolytes, so the joint research team made ...
