Analogue devices has created a fast-responding low-noise low drop-out linear regulator, digitally-programmable to output various voltages between 500mV and 4.2V at up to 3A. Input range is 600mV to 5.5V. Dubbed LT3073, its output, set through three tri-level pads, can be: in 50mV increments from 500mV to 1.2V, in 100mV increments from 1.2 to 1.8V, ...

Bourns is aiming at high power density forward converters with a series of planar construction transformers. Called the PLN0xx-ED21 series, of them the company said: “Planar-style transformer components offer efficiency and power density advantages over conventional wire-wound transformer designs due to significantly reduced ac resistance losses.” Ratings vary across 48 to 70W with inputs from ...

Liquid gallium alloy and micro-fluidics could be the key to low phase dispersion millimetre wave phased array antennas, according to the University of Birmingham. The proposed shifter uses a half-mode substrate-integrated waveguide, with phase shifted in a via-pad-slot structure where a through via is attached to a pad surrounded by an annular slot. “The phase ...

The Swiss Polar Institute has selected Astrocast, a satellite IoT (SatIoT) service provider, to develop a satellite-based communication system for remote snow, glacier, and permafrost monitoring stations in Central Asia. The goal is to acquire a continuous time series of environmental parameters over a long time period, particularly at remote high-latitude and high-altitude field sites. ...
