Presto Engineering announced the availability of high volume semiconductor testing above 100GHz today at European Microwave Week in Madrid. “Commercial test equipment does not test much about 50GHz,” said Presto COO Cédric Mayor. “The current method used by most customers is in-house bench testing by hand. This is because testing equipment above 50GHz is expensive as ...

Vishay has introduced its first automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualified, phototransistor optocoupler. Called VOMA617A, it operates at 5mA and has a current transfer ratio between 50% and 600%. Maximum collector-emitter potential is 80V, and 3,750Vrms isolation between input and output circuits is provided, along with ≥5mm creepage and clearance distance – even though it comes in a SOP-4 ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have 3D printed an array of organic light receptors on a hemispherical surface. Starting with a bowl-shaped glass substrate around 20mm in diameter, the team printed a silver nano-particle-based ink, extruding it through a fine nozzle on a custom-made 3D printer – see image. “The dispensed ink stayed in ...

Würth Elektronik has extended its range of AEC-Q-qualified products with a high current inductor for automotive applications. A proprietary ferrite core design with in the WE-CHSA family has an air gap that is “optimally centred to ensure a precisely defined saturation current”, claims the firm. The “air gap enables saturation currents up to 54A.” – ...
