The internationalization of flows has brought about more complexity in business management. Supply chains are now managed at a global scale, take outsourcing strategies into account and integrate wide product portfolios.
With more internal or external suppliers, and more products and raw materials coming from different...
Ask system designers to list the problems they face – it doesn’t matter whether they’re building mobile consumer, automotive, industrial, medical or scientific applications – and inevitably they’ll mention optimizing host processor performance. It’s hardly surprising. The event-driven...
An accepted energy solution, conventional Electrical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) have many notable drawbacks relating to self-discharge characteristics, energy density, reliability, longevity and thermal design. TAIYO YUDEN Lithium Ion Capacitors overcome these issues and are an effective replacement for EDLCs. Lithium...
An ever-increasing requirement for data on mobile networks, driven by a myriad of applications from HD video on the move to autonomous vehicles and Industrial IOT, means a part of the new 5G network is to be deployed at mmWave frequencies, with a 26 GHz pioneer band defined for the UK between 24.25-27.5GHz.
This near...

Obtaining safety certifications and pre-market approvals for safety-related systems is arduous, costly, and prone to failure. And yet such certifications and approvals are integral to the sale and market acceptance of software for a wide range of products.
Further, safe system design continues to evolve as embedded...

Despite the best intentions at the outset of an electronic product’ s design, it’s commonplace for the power supply specification to evolve during the process and to only be finalized later on. At this point, it’s not uncommon to realize that the remaining physical space cannot accommodate an industry...
Ethernet seems to be one of the fastest growing transmission protocols ever, on both medium types, fiber and copper. Over fiber it easily reaches 40G and 100G transmission speed but in the future it may achieve even 400G or tera-level speed.
Over copper, of course, much lower speeds are achieved and 1G Ethernet has...
When transitioning from a traditional phone network to a voice over IP (VoIP) network, it is essential to recognize a key difference between the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and the private data network that will be called upon to take its place.
The PSTN is connected to a massive battery array that allows...
More and more consumers are looking to Hi-Res source material and playback devices for a premium listening experience. Balanced armature drivers provide the high frequency bandwidth necessary to demonstrate Hi-Res Audio capability in earphones.

5G NR (New Radio) has pioneered the use of mmWave frequencies that provide large bandwidths. This frequency range 2 (FR2), ranging from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, enables reliable, high data rate transmissions required particularly for demanding real-time applications with low latencies. Wide bandwidths and a very high configuration...

As lead-free and RoHS compliancy fast approaches, it is more important than ever to build it right the first time. Leadfree assembly and RoHS will bring about numerous changes and the number of variables with which to contend is increasing, creating increased risk of defects and reduced product reliability.
However,...
In order to ensure an acceptable level of residual risk has been achieved prior to deploying equipment for active service, it is imperative to implement one final series of steps. This stage is necessary to confirm that all risk reduction measures applied (design and build, technological, and organizational) are working...
Power system designers can now benefit from flexibility and the ability to customize electrical parameters by using configurable and programmable power supplies as well as fast and low-cost modifications of the electrical and mechanical properties of standard power supplies.
This white paper explains how, through...
In this application note, the basic operation principle and driving method for OMRON’s MEMS switch (2SMES-01), that has an electrostatic actuator, will be described.
OMRON’s MEMS switch has a SPDT（Single Pole Double Throw） contact configuration. Two MEMS chips that have a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw）...
