The highly scalable COMe-cAL6 series
comprises COM Express Type 6 modules that combine state-of-the-art image processing and graphics capabilities with extensive real-time computing. The modules are available in dual-core and quad-core versions for applications, such as POS/POI systems, digital signage, gaming and medical PCs, human-machine interfaces, and industrial machinery. The COMe-mAL10 is a series of credit
card-sized COMs with up to 8 GBytes of DDR3L memory. The IoT-ready modules maximise graphics and processing performance in a robust, energy-efficient, and standardised Type 10 COM mini form factor. The integrated Intel Gen 9 HD low- power graphics controller provides 4K encode/decode algorithms supporting HEVC, H.264 and VP8/VP9 formats. The SMARC-sAMX7 modules capitalise
on a low-power NXP Semiconductors
i.MX 7 processor, available in both single-core
and dual-core configurations, to enable development of smart devices in a fanless, compact SMARC 2.0 form factor. The highly scalable modules balance processor and graphics performance while retaining a very low energy footprint, making them ideal for IoT and Industry 4.0 applications. The modules offer up to 2 GBytes of DDR3L and 8 GBytes of eMMC, with up to two Gigabit Ethernet, three PCIe, and four USB 4.0 ports. As an authorised distributor, Mouser
Electronics is focused on the rapid introduction of new products and technologies, giving customers an edge and helping speed time to market. Over 800 semiconductor and electronic component manufacturers count on Mouser to help them introduce their products into the global marketplace.

Murata launches smallest 100nF capacitor in the world for mobile applications
M
urata announces a new multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that is
the smallest currently available anywhere in the world. As portable devices such as smartphones, hearing aids, wearable technology and other modules become increasingly multifunctional and more compact, so the demand for higher circuit densities is growing among electronic engineers. The 100 nF (0.1µF) capacitors in
Murata’s new GRM011 series meet this need. Housed in a 008004 (0201M) package measuring just 0.25 mm x 0.125 mm x 0.125 mm, these devices are 80 per cent smaller than conventional 0402M devices and around 50 per cent smaller than currently available products. The MLCCs are constructed with fine
particle technology and high precision lamination and, despite their small size, are suited to rugged applications as they are able to operate at temperatures ranging from -55ºC to +105ºC. The three devices
26 April 2020
(GRM011C80E104ME01, GRM011R60G104ME01 and GRM011R60J104ME01) have rated voltages of 2.5 VDC, 4.0 VDC and 6.3 VDC respectively. The
GRM011C80E104ME01 has EIA X6S temperature characteristics while the other two devices are X5R. The new MLCCs are suitable for reflow processing and are supplied in 180 mm reels of 50,000pcs. The devices are now in full production.

Microprocessor-controlled power supplies for industrial and semiconductor industries
C
osel has announced the addition of a 3000W AC/DC enclosed power supply for
industrial and demanding semiconductors applications. Designed with advanced built-in COSEL’s digital microprocessor technology, the FETA3000BA includes active current sharing, making it simple to parallel up to 10 units for extra power or redundancy. For high efficiency, the FETA3000BA includes an active filter and uses a phase-shift, full- bridge topology offering an efficiency level of up to 93 per cent. Addressing industrial applications and semiconductors equipment, the FETA3000BA complies with the SEMI F47 standard. With an input voltage range of 170 to
264VAC, the FETA3000BA-48 delivers an output voltage of 48VDC, adjustable from 38.40 to 52.80VDC using the built-in potentiometer, or 15.00 to 52.80VDC when using the trimming function available at the rear connector. The nominal output current is 62A and efficiency is up to 93 per cent at 230VAC input. Operated using COSEL’s digital
microprocessor technology, the FETA3000BA series integrates a very sophisticated voltage and current balance control. This simplifies system integrators’ task when connecting units in parallel or series. This technology makes it possible to connect up to 10 units in parallel, without adding any other external components. The advanced digital control also controls switching parameters to optimize efficiency, thus reducing energy consumption. "Power supplies, which used to be a
mass of analog technologies, have been going through major changes since the turn of the century. Once controlled by switching devices on and o in an analog
circuit based on output voltage monitoring, they are now controlled digitally by microprocessors and software,” says Todo, COSEL’s manager of unit standard design department. “Cosel started to develop its own digital control technology at an early stage. By incorporating digital control technology into the analog circuitry, Cosel has achieved power supplies with higher-level functions from which the FETA3000BA is fully benefiting." The FETA3000BA complies with the
semiconductor standard SEMI F47 which requires that semiconductor processing equipment tolerates voltage sags on their AC power line. To reduce audible noise, the FETA3000BA series is equipped with a thermo-regulated fan whose speed is automatically adjusted to optimize cooling for specific environments. Aimed at industrial environments, the FETA3000BA series can be operated within a temperature range of -10 to +70C, 20 - 90%RH (Non condensing), and up to 3,000m (10,000 feet) max altitude. The FETA3000BA is suitable for a wide range of applications including measurement and analysis equipment, machine tools, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Key protection technology enables secure IoT microcontroller
M
axim Integrated Products introduces the MAX32520 ChipDNATM secure Arm Cortex-
M4 microcontroller, the first secure microcontroller with built-in physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for financial- and government-grade security. Maxim’s PUF technology allows for multiple layers of protection to provide the most advanced key-protection technology in a cost-effective format for use in IoT, healthcare, industrial and computing systems.
As IoT applications continue to
proliferate, large numbers of devices are being deployed in uncontrolled and hostile areas that make them more vulnerable to physical attacks. These are more sophisticated than software threats like poor crypto implementations or default password attacks. Designers want enhanced system defenses for their
mission-critical applications where exposing secret encryption keys can bring down networks, ruin reputations, end companies and even negatively affect people’s lives. The MAX32520 with ChipDNA offers
multiple layers of protection through its PUF technology, the industry’s most advanced key-protection technology for safeguarding secrets used in cryptographic operations. It uses a tamper-proof PUF key for flash encryption, secure boot for root- of-trust and serial flash emulation. Additionally, the physical security
inherent in the PUF key eliminates the need for a battery to actively destroy secret-key materials when under attack. Until now, the most-sensitive applications have always required a battery to provide this highest level of secret-key protection.
