One important defense against those threats are surface-based radars that can see over the horizon to provide earlier warning and cue defensive measures. Raytheon Technologies is using its decades of expertise as an integrator of missile defense systems to develop a first-of-its-kind, next-generation over-the-horizon radar to defend the homeland. The new system will be able […]
New Scale Technologies, Inc. today announced its M3-RS-U2-4.5-360 Rotary Smart Stage, a miniature positioning module that simplifies the task of embedding high-precision rotary motion into scientific and industrial instruments. The latest addition to the M3 Smart Stage family features lower cost for high-volume production. It provides point-to-point angular positioning with closed-loop resolution better than 0.022 […]

WASHINGTON—April 6, 2023—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales totaled $39.7 billion during the month of February 2023, a decrease of 4.0% compared to the January 2023 total of $41.3 billion and 20.7% less than the February 2022 total of $50.0 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics […]
Obsolete electronic components are an issue many companies think about very little – until they have to think about them a lot. In the world of electronic components, IHS Markit reports that the average life cycle of integrated circuits has decreased by about 30 percent over the past two decades. Organizations that partner with a […]
Part 1 of this article discussed the spark that ignited the commercial semiconductor industry. It was the 1952 Transistor Symposium conducted by Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL). A book published by BTL called A History of Engineering and Science in the Bell System: Electronics Technology (1925-1975) stated that twenty-six domestic and fourteen foreign transistor licensees of […]

Distribution of European components ended 2022 in a record-breaking fashion. DMASS Ltd. says that unexpectedly robust semiconductor sales and normalizing sales in IP&E (Interconnect, Passive and Electromechanical) components led to reported revenues of EUR 5.03 Billion in Q4, which were 27.8% higher than the same quarter last year. Semiconductors saw record Q3 sales of EUR […]
US and European Union laws restricting the export of some electronic components and devices to certain regions of the globe leave little room for dissent or failure to achieve compliance. The cost to companies that even unwittingly violate any of the growing set of rules and regulations can be enormous, in addition to the possibility […]
Last November, our industry celebrated the 75th anniversary of the announcement by Bell Telephone Labs (BTL) of the transistor’s birth. I knew that many facets of the transistor’s invention would be well covered so I didn’t plan to add an article to this pile because I didn’t feel I had much to improve upon what […]
Panthronics AG has released the industry’s first integrated, single-chip solution for the listener circuit in NFC wireless charging systems. The PTX30W is an integrated solution that is easier to implement than a circuit made of multiple discrete components. The fully autonomous chipset runs an NFC Forum-derived wireless charging protocol that supports power negotiation. This means that the PTX30W […]
