Nexperia has extended its constant current LED driver family with eight new AEC-Q101 qualified devices that deliver up to 250mA. The 16V NCR32xx and 40V NCR42xx series are available in two package styles, the smaller SOT457 (SC-74) or higher power SOT223 (SC-73) – the latter which works up to 1.25W. Output is stabilised at 10mA ...

A solid electrolyte that only forms once its liquid precursors are in intimate contact with electrode material is mooted as a step towards all-solid lithium batteries by Cornell University. Intimate contact – inherent with liquid electrolytes – is needed to achieve high lithium ion throughput and low series resistance. “The key insight is the introduction ...
