The Switch has added a battery-interface current limiter for DC. Its Electronic Current Limiter clamps fault current in microseconds, helping hybrid and electric vessels keep DC-link voltage stable during battery-side faults.
Microchip has broadened its Cortex-M0+ microcontroller range again today, globally. The new PIC32CM PL10 family targets 5 V, noise-tolerant embedded control, with pin compatibility intended to ease migration from AVR Dx designs in industrial, appliance, and automotive subsystems.
Microsoft has detailed Maia 200, its latest inference accelerator silicon. Built on TSMC 3nm, the chip pairs FP8/FP4 tensor cores with 216GB HBM3e, targeting higher token-throughput per watt in Azure-scale deployments.
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.
Fluorescent chloride sensors are moving from lab novelty to product. A Research and Markets report forecasts growth from $4.27bn in 2025 to $6.36bn by 2032, driven by new fluorophores, nanomaterials, and tighter digital integration.
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.
Enphase has started shipping GaN microinverters into US rooftops now. The IQ9N-3P targets 480Y/277V three-phase commercial solar, using GaN in the power stage to reach up to 97.5% efficiency and higher power density.
