Rohm claims to have smallest transistor package

Rohm claims to have smallest transistor package

ROHM Semiconductor Ultra Compact MOSFETs & Bipolar Transistors have the smallest transistor package on the market which is optimized for thin, compact portable devices. The VML0806 case type measures just 0.8mm×0.6mm, with a height of only 0.36mm. As portable devices, such as smartphones and digital cameras get smaller and more sophisticated, thinner, more compact components […]

Microsemi has very low power RF chip for patient monitors

Microsemi very low power RF chip for patient monitors

The ZL70250 ultra-low-power radio frequency (RF) transceiver provides a wireless link in applications where power consumption is of primary importance. The transceiver’s ultra low-power requirements allow battery miniaturization or the use of energy-harvesting methods, enabling devices with an extremely small form factor. The availability of the transceiver in a CSP form factor combined with the

A visit to the Arduino factory on DomusWeb

A visit to the Arduino factory on DomusWeb

The entire manufacturing process (except for certain purchased components) [of Arduino boards] takes place in and around Strambino, Ivrea, in a context dominated by the small- and medium-sized companies that are typical of Italian industrial districts and of the “Made in Italy” phenomenon itself. Ivrea’s history is another interesting part of the picture. The city

Power conserving chip may increase smartphone battery life

Beating battery drain: Power-conserving chip may increase smartphone battery life

Stream video on your smartphone, or use its GPS for an hour or two, and you’ll probably see the battery drain significantly. As data rates climb and smartphones adopt more power-hungry features, battery life has become a concern. Now a technology developed by MIT spinout Eta Devices could help a phone’s battery last perhaps twice
