The LT8364 current mode, 2MHz step-up DC/DC converter has an internal 4A, 60V switch. [via] It operates from an input voltage range of 2.8V to 60V, and is suitable for applications with input sources ranging from a single-cell Li-Ion battery to multicell battery stacks, automotive...

Samsung Electronics has begun mass production of what the company claims to be the industry’s first 512-gigabyte (GB) embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) solution for use in next-generation mobile devices. by Julien Happich  @ eenewseurope.com: The 512GB eUFS packs eight of...

Torex Semiconductor’s XCL223 and XCL224 series of step-down converters pack an inductor and control IC in a single 2.25×1.5×0.75-mm package, simplifying board layout. Despite their miniaturization and reduced height, the synchronous converters deliver an output current of 400 mA or...

A dual-channel step-down LED driver, the LT3964 from Linear Technology packs 40 V, 1.6 A power switches and an I2C interface for dimming control. [via] Operating over an input voltage range of 4 V to 36 V, the driver integrates two independently controlled LED drivers that switch at...

Under the “Power by Linear” branding it recently created for the product lines it acquired with its purchase of Linear Technology, Analog Devices has added the LT3964, a dual channel, 36V, high efficiency, synchronous, step-down LED driver with internal 40V, 1.6A power switches and...

AVR is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel beginning in 1996. These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. The Atmel AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. Atmel’s ATmega8 comes from the AVR...

WCH, a Chinese integrated circuits manufacturer, has just released a new serial to USB chip called CH340E. Unlike other CH340 chips, it doesn't require an external crystal and also needs less PCB space and BOM. CH340 is a 3x3mm tiny chip comes in MSOP10 package and has 10...

In the Moore’s Law race to keep improving computer performance, the IT industry has turned upward, stacking chips like nano-sized 3D skyscrapers. But those stacks have their limits, due to overheating. Researchers from IBM have solved this problem by developing an intra-chip...
