Cadence is aiming at high-end PCBs and motherboards with a 3D electromagnetic modelling package called Clarity 3D Solver. It is intended particularly at the fastest parallel and serial links, such as DDR4 and 112Gbit/s – the latter achieved using PAM4 four-voltage-level signalling. “Chips are getting much faster,” Cadence product director Brad Griffin told Electronics Weekly. ...

To boost signalling data rate, Smiths Interconnect has introduced ‘split-pair quadrax’ contacts to its rugged D-Sub connector series. Just in case you are not familiar with twinax and quadrax: coax has a single central conductor inside a circular shield, twinax has two side-by-side conductors in a circular shield and quadrax has four. Until now, twinax ...

XP Power has launched a range of 20W dc-dc power modules with international agency approvals for medical and healthcare applications. The series, called JHM20, is particularly intended for use where a reinforced (two measures of patient protection – 2x MOPP) safety isolation barrier is needed – including patient contact and patient vicinity applications. Certified is by ...
