Infineon announces advanced MEMS-based ultrasound transducer
Infineon has made significant progress in developing the technology for capacitive micromechanical ultrasonic transducers (CMUT). The technology enables the company to manufacture the first integrated one-chip solution for MEMS-based ultrasonic transducer that offers a smaller footprint, improved performance, and higher functionality. Such integration makes the new device ideal for developing new ultrasonic applications and improving existing applications in consumer electronics, the automotive industry, and medical technology.
Nexperia enhances Energy Harvesting portfolio with innovative PMIC reducing BOM cost
Nexperia is expanding its energy harvesting portfolio with the NEH71x0 power management IC (PMIC) family. This advanced PMIC line combines performance, cost-efficiency, and versatility, setting a new standard in sustainable design for low power applications. These devices eliminate the need for an external inductor, reducing circuit board space and bill-of-materials (BOM) cost. It is available in a compact 4 mm x 4 mm QFN28 package. Applications include remote controls, key fobs, smart tags, asset trackers, occupancy sensors, environmental monitors, wearables, keyboards, tire pressure monitors, and any number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
