Connectors withstand six hours of 10G vibrational force
Feb
These cable-to-board units feature a robust construction for prolonged operational lifespan, thanks to their glass-reinforced poly-phenylene sulphide (PPS) enclosures, with a 100MQ minimum insulation resistance ensuring continued signal integrity.
They have a double row contact arrangement with a 2mm pitch – enabling mating of their through-board PCB male c…
Google acts on EU Commission’s Android antitrust ruling
Feb
It was back in July that the EU fined Google $5 billion for antitrust violations related to Android. The EU Commission ruled that Google used Android to boost its market share by insisting that phone manufacturers who used Android pre-installed Google Search and its Chrome browser.
Google has revealed that it has been working on complying with the decision, and t…
ST adds to STM32 MCU series
Feb
Consuming as little as 33nA in shutdown mode and achieving 402 ULPMark-CP in the EEMBC1 ULPBench, the new MCU series exploits low-power techniques such as adaptive voltage scaling, real-time acceleration, power gating, and multiple reduced-power operating modes proven in previousSTM32L series.
With integrated digital and analogue peripherals, and consumer and in…
