Bespoke fibre optic datalink design & manufacturing service from OMC meets demanding requirements of IIoT applications

November 2024…OMC, the pioneer in optoelectronics design & manufacture, now offers a bespoke fibre optic datalink design & manufacturing service for industrial applications that require secure information transmission in environments that suffer from electrical interference or contain combustible dust which can cause explosions.

Explains William Heath, Director, OMC: “The increasing use of industrial IoT (IIoT) practices means that more and more information needs to be transmitted around factories between machinery and control centres. Wireless transmission can often be unsuitable in demanding electrically noisy environments – and traditional electrical solutions can also present … Read More → "Bespoke fibre optic datalink design & manufacturing service from OMC meets demanding requirements of IIoT applications"

Vishay Intertechnology Automotive Grade Surface-Mount Thick Film Power Resistor Offers Multi-Pulse Capabilities in TO-263 (D2PAK) Package

MALVERN, Pa. — Nov. 26, 2024 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new Automotive Grade surface-mount thick film power resistor in the TO-263 (D2PAK) package. For automotive applications, the AEC-Q200 qualified Vishay Sfernice D2TO35M combines multi-pulse capabilities with high power dissipation of 35 W at 25 °C.

Compared to standard devices in the TO-263 (D2PAK) package, the device released today provides higher power dissipation and reliability for multiple and repetitive pulse use. The resistor offers a maximum drift of 2 % after 1000 pulses at 25 °C and a drift less than 5 % after 100 000 pulses, with a turn-on time of 500 ms, … Read More → "Vishay Intertechnology Automotive Grade Surface-Mount Thick Film Power Resistor Offers Multi-Pulse Capabilities in TO-263 (D2PAK) Package"

AURIX™ TC3x from Infineon supports FreeRTOS

Munich, Germany – 21 November 2024 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has added FreeRTOS support for its AURIX™ TC3x microcontrollers (MCUs). A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is a key software component that runs on the microcontroller and efficiently manages hardware and software resources to ensure timely and reliable execution of tasks. By serving as an intermediary between hardware and application software, an RTOS enables developers to focus on their application code, abstracting away hardware complexities. This enables portability and reusability of application code across different levels of abstraction and reduces time-to-market.
