MUNICH, Nov. 12 --ON Semiconductor, driving innovation in energy efficiency, continues to enable better power conservation in a wide range of portable and consumer electronics with an expanding portfolio of highly integrated, feature-rich, low power solutions for portable and consumer electronics.
ON Semiconductor debuts two new single-channel power MOSFETs for low voltage drive switching at this year’s Electronica tradeshow and conference. The new MCH3383 P-channel MOSFET has a drain-to-source voltage (VDSS) of 12 volts (V) and a drain current (ID) of 3.5 amperes (A) with an on-state resistance (RDS(ON)) of 69 milliohms (mΩ), while the MCH3484 N-channel MOSFET has a VDSS of 20 V, an ID of 4.5 A and an RDS(ON) of 330 mΩ. These devices are highly suited to use in IC recorders and smartphones.
The NCP4545, NCP45520/21, and NCP45524/25, also being introduced at the event, are new members of ON Semiconductor’s ecoSWITCH family of highly compact, advanced load management solutions for efficient power domain switching. Combing control and drive functionality, these devices each have soft-start via adjustable slew rate control and integrate a low RDS(ON) power MOSFET plus a charge pump. They are suitable for notebook/tablet computers, portable medical equipment, enterprise computing systems, hot swap devices, peripheral ports, telecom and industrial equipment and various portable devices.
Additionally, the NCP333, NCP334, NCP335, NCP336, and NCP337 are newly introduced cost-effective, ultra-compact, high performance load switches. Covering a 1.2 V to 5.5 V input voltage range, these MOSFET-based devices each have a built-in output discharge path to eliminate residual voltages on the output rail. They are optimized for use in cell phones, notebook/tablet computers and digital cameras.
Lastly, the NCP702, NCP703 and NCP729 are low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulators with a 2.0 V to 5.5 V input voltage range, ultra-low quiescent current and built-in thermal shutdown mechanism. These devices’ superior performance characteristics make them highly optimized for noise-sensitive applications, where signal integrity must be maintained, such as phase locked loops, oscillators, frequency synthesizers and low noise amplifiers. Among the end products they will prove particularly suited to inclusion in are smartphones, digital cameras, tablet computers, portable DVD/media players, wireless headsets, wifi boards and portable GPS systems, as well as portable medical equipment.

Sander Veenhof and Joris van Tubergen, of the Netherlands, joined their skills in media art and design to merge 3D printing with augmented reality. They call the result "UltimARker" and like the 3D printer it works with it's been designed for the open source community to give consumers more detailed information about their 3D printer.

Finally, we have someone to look to when we have to assemble our IKEA furniture--or at least something. This week, this solution was showcased at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, proving that robots might soon be surpassing humans at yet another task. At least we can gladly hand this one over.

03/20/2013 | SAS | This white paper examines how an enterprise-wide quality platform can turn existing data into substantial and sustainable revenue growth and cost savings for global manufacturers. The paper is based on the findings of the IW/SAS Enterprise Quality Survey completed by more than 400 manufacturing executives. The objectives of the survey were to determine concerns about quality among manufacturers; investigate the tools used to measure quality; and examine how using enterprise-wide analysis on quality data improves performance.
07/19/2011 | Univa | TATA Steel Automotive Engineering’s concern grew when open source Grid Engine support and development was discontinued by Oracle. Grid Engine is a business critical application in their environment. They recognized the likelihood that product enhancements and innovations would cease. Read how TATA Steel Automotive Engineering moved from a self-support solution to Univa Grid Engine. You can get more out of your environment and your budget with Univa Grid Engine.
