BAE Systems has secured a $473m US Army Paladin order. The award covers 40 more M109A7 howitzer sets, including M992A3 ammunition carriers, plus support services. For electronics teams, the programme’s high-voltage electrical system and growing digital integration remain the upgrade pathway.
A UMass-led system processes touch events using memristive hardware locally. Demonstrated in Nature Sensors, the architecture combines a flexible haptic sensor array with event-triggered circuitry and a memristive system-on-chip to cut energy and latency versus conventional digital sensing pipelines.
MEAN WELL’s SPWM drivers add tunable lighting control options now. The 75W to 240W constant-voltage range supports DALI-2 dimming and colour control, push-button input, and multi-channel PWM outputs, with minimum dimming down to 0.1% for smart building lighting deployments.
Microchip has launched a new 600V gate driver portfolio. The range targets high-voltage motor control and power conversion applications, adding half-bridge, high-side/low-side, and three-phase options to the company’s power management offering.
SK hynix is accelerating capacity as HBM demand tightens again. The company is expanding near-term output via M15X and progressing its Yongin cluster plan, with the first fab scheduled for completion in May 2027 and designed to produce next-generation DRAM, including HBM.
Samsung has placed an Intel Xeon 6 vRAN call successfully. The companies say a live-network commercial call ran on Samsung’s cloud-native vRAN using Intel’s Xeon 6700P-B series, targeting higher consolidation and better power efficiency for virtualised RAN deployments.
Datalogic has launched a new Gryphon 4600 handheld scanner series. The devices combine AI-based decoding, dual-sensor optics, and an eco-design approach aimed at reducing power consumption and material impact across high-volume scanning environments.
Microchip has launched military-qualified plastic TVS devices for aerospace applications. The JANPTX family meets MIL-PRF-19500 requirements while offering lightweight, surface-mount protection against electrical transients.
Crystal Display Systems has released its 2026 display product brochure. The guide positions CDS as a single-source supplier across industrial LCD panels, monitors, and specialist formats, with the document pitched at integrators specifying everything from high-brightness TFTs to transparent OLED.
