facetVISION: Compound Eyes for Industry and Smartphone

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have developed a process that makes the production of a two-millimeter flat camera possible. Similar to the eyes of insects, its lens is partitioned into 135 tiny facets. The researchers have named their mini-camera concept facetVISION, following nature’s model. This mini-camera has a thickness […]

NANO SANDWICHES IN ELECTRONICS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE RISK OF OVERHEATING

Nano-sandwiches in Electronics Significantly Reduce Risk of Overheating

A new study about “Reduction of overheating of 2D materials” published in the Journal of Advanced Materials. The work put behind the study is credited to the researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Engineering. By joining together two-dimensional materials used in nanoelectronic devices between their three-dimensional silicon bases, they formed an ultrathin layer

ULTRA SMALL DC DC CONVERTER WITH INTEGRATED INDUCTOR

ULTRA SMALL DC-DC CONVERTER WITH INTEGRATED INDUCTOR

The XCL206 series is a synchronous step-down micro DC/DC converter which integrates an inductor and a control IC in one tiny package (2.5mm×2.0mm, H=1.0mm). A stable power supply with an output current of 600mA is configured using only two capacitors connected externally. Operating voltage range is from 2.0V to 6.0V(XCL20xG:1.8V-6.0V). Output voltage is internally set in a
