TDK-Lambda has introduced a 1U 3.5kW hot-swap supply for industry. The HFE3500 series supports redundant rack configurations and parallel operation, targeting automation, ATE, and communications systems that need high-density bulk power with monitoring and control via PMBus.
UCLA scientists cut flicker noise in nanowires for sensors dramatically. The team demonstrated an ultra-low-noise transport regime in quasi-1D materials, indicating a path toward higher-fidelity medical sensing and more stable quantum devices.
Cree LED is targeting brighter displays using less power now. Its OptiLamp components integrate driver and control intelligence inside each LED pixel, aiming to cut system complexity while improving image quality and long-term maintainability in large-format display deployments.
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.
