New motion sensor board from MIKROE uses Doppler Shift technology


Adds to MIKROE’s wide range of motion sensor Click boards


MikroElektronika (MIKROE), the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has introduced a new motion sensor Click™ board, to support the development of intrusion alarms, automatic door openers, presence-sensing applications, and more. Microwave 4 Click utilizes the Doppler Shift phenomenon to sense motion. It is based on the PD-V12, a miniature high-frequency microwave transceiver from Ningbo Pdlux Electronic Technology. This motion sensor is a K-band Bi-Static Doppler transceiver module. It is housed in a metal can and features a built-in resonator oscillator (CRO), providing a stable operation as it improves its front signal-receiving ability and reduces its blind area. The Microwave 4 Click detects the frequency shift between a transmitted and a received signal reflected from a moving object within the field of view of the transceiver. The radiated power (EIRP) emissions of <3mW at maximum meet the FCC and CE regulations. The noise voltages at the output port inside an anechoic chamber are measured from 10Hz to 100Hz. The received signal strength (RSS) is measured at the total 1 Ways path loss of 70dB. The module uses two antennas (for RX and TX) with a maximum gain of 0dBi and is designed to be installed in such a way that allows it to operate at closer than 20cm to users or nearby persons.

CGD’s ICeGaN HEMTS awarded ”best demo” at TSMC European Innovation Zone


Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD), the fabless, clean-tech semiconductor company that develops a range of energy-efficient GaN-based power devices to make greener electronics possible, today announced that its ICeGaN™ GaN HEMT System-on-Chip (SoC) was awarded “Best Demo” at the Innovation Zone of TSMC’s 2023 Europe Technology Symposium. CGD’s ICeGaN, which has entered high-volume production for global customers using TSMC’s GaN process technology, is bringing the complexity of a typical external driving circuit into the GaN HEMT, monolithically integrated. This concept reduces the component count at PCB level and significantly improve the robustness and reliability of the power transistor and the whole system, while enabling the user to couple it with a gate driver of choice. This concept is easily scalable to higher power and in voltages, which CGD is actively pursuing. ICeGaN is an Industry First: GaN eMode HEMTs can be driven like a Si MosFET. Recognizing the differentiation that it brings to the market, ICeGaN was voted “Best Demo” by visitors to the Innovation Zone, TSMC’s showcase for start-up customers’ cutting-edge products at its largest annual event in Europe.

Power Integrations and SnapMagic Collaborate to Advance Power Supply Design Automation From PSU specification to PCB layout in minutes using PI Expert and SnapMagic


Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits (IC)s for energy- efficient power conversion, and SnapMagic, a company that’s redefining how electronics are designed by streamlining the design flow, today announced that PI Expert™, Power Integrations’ robust, online design tool, now features schematic and netlist export, made possible by SnapMagic’s new schematic export technology. Based on specifications input by the user,


PI Expert automatically generates a complete power supply schematic utilizing Power Integrations’ power-conversion ICs, including a custom magnetics design. Previously, the automated tool flow covered everything up to full circuit optimization, but required manual transcription into a CAD package to facilitate simulations and physical layout. The new export capability ensures a fast and seamless transfer of the design, including symbols, footprints, 3D models and electrical netlist into one of four popular PCB CAD tools. Cadence OrCAD, Altium, Autodesk Eagle / Fusion360 and KiCad are currently supported. Trevor Hiatt, director of channel marketing at Power Integrations said: “Eliminating the need to manually


create or download symbols, draw a schematic and then port those files into a PCB layout tool will save time, reduce transcription errors and, importantly, assist with version control and traceability. The schematic is laid out in a consistent format and optimized for readability on the industry-standard 0.1 inch format.”

Miniature high voltage reed relay from Pickering now rated up to 150°C


Series 104HT suits a wide range of applications including EVs, solar, HV instrumentation IC testers and more.


Pickering Electronics, a renowned company for its remarkable advancements in reed relay miniaturization and superior performance over the past 50 years, today launched a new high temperature high voltage single-in-line reed relay that can operate at up to 125°C. The new Series 104HT relay belongs to a family of miniature high voltage reed relays and is available in the SIL package on a 6.35mm (0.25in) pitch, with a stand-off voltage capability of up to 4kV. “High temperature can significantly affect the performance of reed relays, and many devices are only able to operate at up to 85°C. By designing these devices with increased magnetic drive and using specialist potting materials to sustain insulation resistance, Pickering can now offer reed relays that perform at elevated temperatures, and which can be stored at up to 150ºC.” Said Kevin Mallett, Technical Specialist at Pickering Electronics. The Pickering Series 104 reed relays feature internal mu-metal screening, effectively countering any magnetic interference. As an added option, electrostatic shielding is also available. These versatile relays come in a range of configurations, including 1 Form A, 2 Form A & 1 Form B, and can be fitted with coils of either 5, 12 or 24V, with optional internal diode protection.
