-
Tower Semiconductor and Axiro have introduced SiGe beamforming ICs for defence radar and satellite communications. The Ku- and X-band devices are fabricated in US facilities and target phased-array RF front ends.
-
Sentronics has released its RealFlow D-Series UAV fuel-flow sensors. The ultrasonic range targets commercial and defence aircraft requiring compact, accurate, multi-fuel measurement with no moving parts.
-
Direct Insight is supporting the QS91 system-on-module for secure Linux edge designs. The compact Ka-Ro module uses NXP’s i.MX 91 processor and targets industrial IoT devices requiring low power, reduced cost, and long-life support.
-
Macnica ATD Europe has acquired Indesmatech in Denmark. The deal expands semiconductor design-in support across Scandinavia and Northern Europe, covering embedded computing, IoT, sensing, power, memory, and ASIC applications.
-
FotoNation and SEMIFIVE have agreed to develop TriSilica perceptual AI silicon. The collaboration targets ultra-low-power multimodal sensor-fusion SoCs using Samsung Foundry’s 8nm Low Power Ultimate process.
-
Rohde & Schwarz and Greenerwave have demonstrated a faster route to electronically steerable antenna characterisation. The near-field measurement setup captured a 50cm Ku-band SATCOM array in 32 minutes with close correlation against simulation.
-
Sapient Perception has launched ECHO, a 10K UAV sensor and AI platform for wide-area autonomous surveillance. The system combines high-resolution imaging, onboard processing, and edge AI for defence, emergency response, and infrastructure security missions.
-
Infineon has secured a favourable ITC GaN ruling. The decision concerns gallium nitride patents, import and sales restrictions, and the growing commercial weight of wide-bandgap power semiconductors in high-efficiency systems.
-
Samtec has added through-hole options to mPOWER connectors. The ultra-micro power interconnect family targets high-current, space-constrained designs requiring stronger mechanical retention in industrial, aerospace, and military environments.
-
Toshiba has expanded its 74AVC level-shifter family. The new 1-bit and 2-bit dual-supply bus transceivers support low-voltage SoC interfaces, small packages, and bidirectional communication for UART, GPIO, and SPI designs.
