Microcontrollers focus on sensors with I3C bus
Microchip Technology has released its PIC18-Q20 family of microcontrollers (MCUs), the industry’s first low pin count MCUs with up to two I3C peripherals and Multi-Voltage I/O (MVIO). Available in 14- and 20-pin packages as small as 3 x 3 mm, the PIC18-Q20 MCUs are a compact solution for real-time control, touch sensing, and connectivity applications. The MCUs […]
New color choice for MINI-DATA-BOX flanged IIoT/sensor enclosures
OKW’s flanged MINI-DATA-BOX plastic enclosures are now available in a new two-color option as standard: the base is traffic gray A (RAL 7042); the top is traffic white (RAL 9016). MINI-DATA-BOX is a small, ‘go-anywhere’ housing that is ideal for a wide range of miniaturized electronics. Applications include IoT/IIoT, automation, security, environmental technology, measurement and […]
Rotary potentiometer offered in single, dual-gauge, and dual-gang + on-off switch models
CUI Devices’ Motion & Control Group announced the introduction of a new rotary potentiometer series offering single or dual-gang models as well as dual-gang options with an on-off switch. The PTN16 series is housed in a 16.5 mm package with shaft lengths of 15, 20, 25, or 30 mm and D-cut or knurled shaft styles. […]
IR motion sensor also detects still object
STMicroelectronics is launching a novel human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The STHS34PF80 sensor contains thermal transistors that can detect stationary objects, unlike conventional PIR detectors that require the detected object to be moving to produce a measurable response from the sensor. Also, while […]
Capacitive sensor certified to EHEDG
Rechner Sensor KA1244 has a hygienic designed housing and is certified by EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group). Certification type: EL Class I The PEEK surface has the high-quality Ra 0.4 μm for smoothness and the PEEK conforms to EC 1935/2004 for traceability of the materials. The beveled edge body design prevents the possibility […]
Piezo actuators boast precision in the nanometer range
TDK Corporation presents two new piezo actuators made of RoHS-compatible lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with an internal copper electrode. COM30S5 (B58004M4030A020) and COM45S5 (B58004M4040A020) are available as unhoused, passivated components. They are characterized by an extraordinary dynamic range, a high force-to-volume ratio, and precision in the nanometer range. TDK achieves this through its patented copper-based High […]
Digital readout IC designed for SWIR and low-current detector technologies
Senseeker Engineering announced the availability of the Neon RD0033, an advanced digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) with low-noise performance, triple-gain modes, and a 10 μm pitch pixel with a capacitive trans-impedance amplifier (CTIA) front-end circuit. The Neon DROIC was developed for low-light applications such as short-wave Infrared (SWIR) and low-current detector technologies such as quantum […]
Safe compact encoders for autonomous vehicles
Safe angle and speed measurement is a key requirement in vehicles, including autonomous industrial trucks. This is possible with functionally safe and certified encoders with a suitable safety interface on rotary axes or drive motors. Autonomous vehicles can quickly approach their target positions with safe position and speed data. Monitoring by compact safety encoders helps […]
