NeoMesh wireless module
Comment I N
eoCortec’s newly released P Series of wireless NeoMesh
modules features an RF/IO antenna connection placed under the module on solder pads for quick and easy soldering to any PCB. The new modules NC1000P-
8, NC1000P-9 and NC2400P operate at 868MHz, 915MHz and 2.4GHz respectively. NeoMesh from NeoCortec
is a protocol enabling node to node mesh communication of sensors, without any need for mains powered devices. All devices can be battery powered, also the gateway if needed. To start building the network, simply switch on two nodes and you are rolling. Additional nodes switched
on will automatically join the existing network and will start expanding it in a number of devices in range. The NeoCortec communication modules are modules equipped with radio and NeoMesh, and can easily be integrated in a sensor or
motor.

n this issue we take a deeper dive of Trackwise’s Harness Technology for advanced medical applications. NXP explores how, applying AI to the video streams of high-resolution cameras can enable them to be
deployed in many new applications. In our military and defence technology spotlight, specialists at LDRA
and Lynx Software Technologies explore The FACE Technical Standard. Avnet Abacus, explains how to achieve an effective end-to-end
networking infrastructure, based on Ethernet protocols, that will be responsible for much of the digital transformation that is set to happen within the industrial space. Analogue Devices Inc. describes solutions for maintaining bias voltages
in electrical systems over a wide range of source voltages, from 5V to 140V. Plus more of the latest product news and industry updates.

Programmability and High Efficiency combined in New Zero-Voltage-Switching Power-Supply ICs
incorporate a PowiGaN gallium-nitride primary switch and steady-state switching frequency of up to 140kHz. The highly integrated devices reduce the component count and PCB area required for ultra- compact adapters for cellphone, notebook, tablet and multi-port accessories. “InnoSwitch4-Pro ICs interface with Power
P
Integrations’ ClampZero family of active clamp ICs to achieve ZVS in both continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM),” said Aditya Kulkarni, product marketing manager at Power Integrations. “ZVS, combined with our PowiGaN technology, virtually eliminates switching losses. Efficiency exceeds 95 percent, which enables designers to eliminate the heat sinks, spreaders and potting materials typically required for thermal management. Further size reduction of the adapter can be achieved by the use of a MinE-CAP device in combination
with InnoSwitch4-Pro and ClampZero ICs. Based also on PowiGaN technology, MinE-CAP ICs enable input capacitance size reduction of approximately 40 percent. Capable of delivering up to 220W, InnoSwitch4-Pro ICs combine a 750V PowiGaN primary switch, controller, FluxLink reinforced isolation feedback link for secondary-side control, I2
C interface, active
clamp drive and synchronous rectification in a compact InSOP-28 package. The high level of integration greatly simplifies the development and manufacturing of fully programmable, highly efficient power supplies. These programmable flyback ICs in combination with ClampZero and MinE-CAP companion devices enable the ultra-compact and slim form factors highly desired by both OEM accessory and aftermarket USB PD and Universal Fast Charging Specification (UFCS) adapters.
