NXP has started production of its S32K3 automotive MCU family, built around Arm Cortex-M7 cores, and launched real-time software (called ‘Real-Time Drivers’) alongside it to support S32K3 and all S32 automotive processors featuring Arm Cortex-M or Cortex-R52 cores – so existing S32K1/S32G families too. Intended for body control, S32K3 family includes single, dual and lockstep M7 ...

Silicon carbide mosfets and Schottky diodes are both subject to the unipolar limit – the trade-off between breakdown voltage and specific resistance of the drift layer. Super-junction transistors bypass this limit, and bipolar transistor are not subject to it, but both require p-type semiconductor layers in otherwise n-type unipolar devices. To create p-type SiC, it ...

In the US state of Illionois, nine coal power stations are being converted into batteries, some with local solar generation. The sites were aquired by a Texas company called Vista in 2018, and coal burning is being terminated for a variety of reasons including running costs and legal decision over pollution. Power station Net coal ...

Anritsu has introduced a signal generator family with a rubidium local oscillator option that works across 9kHz to 43.5GHz. Branded ‘Rubidium’, internal time base aging is <±2×10-8/year with option 0003 (low phase noise kit) or <±1×10-9/year with option 0056 (rubidium local oscillator). “This frequency stability is achieved either by an optional internal rubidium reference or by ...
