![Elektor News Bytes - Show #8 - CAN-FD Motor Driver, Hall Sensor, Load Switch, and more!
Welcome to show #8 of News Bytes, Elektors news show looking at whats happening in the electronics and semiconductor industry.
This episode is sponsored by TME. Products for makers and hobbyists are a solid and growing segment of the TME product portfolio. The most popular are Arduino boards, ranging from the iconic UNO Rev3, through to the MKR and NANO series, up to the PORTENTA boards focused on the needs of professional developers. Arduino’s latest addition to the lineup, the UNO Rev 4 Minima & UNO Rev 4 WiFi, can also be ordered directly from the website at https://www.tme.eu
In this episode, Stuart Cording, The Electronics Reporter, looks at:
[00:00] Intro to the show!
[00:38] Motors drivers with support for CAN-FD are now available in the automotive-compliant MOTIX family from Infineon - www.infineon.com/TLE988x and www.infineon.com/TLE989x
[01:43] Magnets are a great way of detecting open doors and liquid levels. Diodes has launched a low-power Hall sensor for just this task - https://www.diodes.com/about/news/press-releases/micropower-push-pull-unipolar-hall-switches-from-diodes-incorporated-save-board-space-in-battery-powered-applications/
[02:46] NACS, the North American Charging Standard, is gaining popularity. Vector announces testing support across a range of their products, including the VH5100A that listens to charger-vehicle communication - https://www.presseagentur.com/vector/detail.php?pr_id=6736&lang=en
[04:22] Rather than use a MOSFET to control power to part of your circuit, why not take a look at the highly integrated NPS4053 from Nexperia for controlling your load - https://www.nexperia.com/products/analog-logic-ics/power-ics/load-switches/series/NPS4053.html
[05:30] Cyber attacks on industrial applications affected as many as 90% of businesses, according to Trend Micro. Moxa is tackling this with their OnCell G4302-LTE4 secure cellular routers - https://www.moxa.com/en/spotlight/industrial-wireless/oncell-g4302-lte4/index
[06:32] Sprung contacts with vertical compression are common for PCBs, but those supporting horizontal movement are few and far between. Harwin changes this with their S 1921/1931/1981/1991 spring contacts - https://www.harwin.com/products/S1991-46R/
[07:33] eCall has been mandatory in the EU since 2015, but relies on 2G and 3G networks that earmarked for decommissioning. As eCall moves to 4G/5G technology, Rohde & Schwarz releases a new test package for their CMX500 one-box signaling tester - https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/products/test-and-measurement/wireless-tester-network-emulator/rs-cmx500-5g-one-box-signaling-tester_63493-601282.html?change_c=true
[08:20] SMA connectors tend to stick directly upwards. Providing an alternative is Cinch Connectivity with their 30° Johnson millimeter wave RF connectors that complement the exisitng 45° angled range - https://www.belfuse.com/news-detail/cinch-connectivity-solutions-extends-rf-connector-line-with-new-mmwave-angled-30-degree-product-family
