Lighter and Faster Connectivity Solutions for Defense Systems

Members of the media are invited to visit TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, at booth #03-C27 for IDEX 2017, an international strategic defense exhibition and conference. TE will showcase lightweight connectivity solutions for rugged military defense systems.

Nothing is more important on the battlefield than having a reliable system. As military and defense systems grow more complex, electronic soldier systems, weapon systems, and unmanned vehicles must balance superior and reliable performance with space and weight savings.

TE develops connectivity solutions that meet these challenges in rugged harsh environments and applications from power distribution to defense networking.

Some of TE’s latest products include solutions for harsh military systems. The INSTALITE ZH-15 tubing is the first heat shrinkable tubing to combine high-temperature and zero halogen capabilities in a lightweight material. The Ceelok FAS-X connector is a high speed solution for 10Gb/s data delivery, available in aluminum or composite shells. TE’s range of 38999 connectors are mil spec qualified and available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, materials and finishes to meet virtually any need.

TE also makes weight savings a priority when it comes to materials. TE uses composites in replace of metal enclosures to give the mechanical and electrical benefits of metal but with lower weight and costs and higher corrosion resistance. TE also uses carbon nanotube technology (CNT) in military systems such as satellites, UAVs, and military aircraft for significant weight reductions in the thousands of pounds.

TE representatives will be available throughout the show to answer questions and participate in interviews related to TE’s end-to-end solutions.

SHOW:             IDEX 2017
DATE:               February 19-23, 2017
WHERE:           Booth #03-C27
                         Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre
                         Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

For more information on any of these connectivity solutions, contact the TE Product Information Center at 1-800-522-6752 or visit the IDEX landing page.

How MediaTek Optimizes SI Design with Cadence Optimality Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In the era of 5G/6G communication, signal integrity (SI) design considerations are important in high-speed interface design. MediaTek’s design process usually relies on human intuition, but with Cadence’s Optimality Intelligent System Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver, they’ve increased design productivity by 75X. The Optimality Explorer’s AI technology not only improves productivity, but also provides helpful insights and answers.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

Package Evolution for MOSFETs and Diodes
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Vishay
A limiting factor for both MOSFETs and diodes is power dissipation per unit area and your choice of packaging can make a big difference in power dissipation. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Brian Zachrel from Vishay investigate how package evolution has led to new advancements in diodes and MOSFETs including minimizing package resistance, increasing power density, and more! They also explore the benefits of using Vishay’s small and efficient PowerPAK® and eSMP® packages and the migration path you will need to keep in mind when using these solutions in your next design.
