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 […]
FORT BELVOIR, Va. – U.S. Army targeting experts are reaching out to industry for new ways of designing electro-optical beam director gimbals that merge high-energy laser targeting capability with conventional targeting capability. Officials of the Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) at Fort Belvoir, Va., released a request for information (W50RAJ-23-RFI-NBD) on Tuesday […]
NASHUA, N.H. – Today’s long-range missiles require long-range defenses. Missile defense is a broad term for a wide variety of technologies and techniques. With some differences in place depending on the altitude of the threat, today’s missile defense is in effect an electronic blanket over ally nations. Source: The technological challenges of complex missile defense […]
Extreme miniaturization of infrared (IR) detectors is critical for their integration into next-generation consumer electronics, wearables and ultra-small satellites. To date, however, IR detectors have relied on bulky, high-cost materials and technologies. The trend toward ultracompact designs is supported by the development of a cost-effective miniaturization process for IR spectrometers based on a quantum dot […]
Optical spectrometers (afbr-s20n1n256) are prevalent in many fields from industrial to biomedical to scientific research. They are generally used in identifying materials and chemicals by way of analyzing the spectral composition of light. Product applications of optical spectrometers are manifold, including Process Control & Monitoring; Medical Diagnostics; Chemical Analysis; Material & Polymer Analysis; Quality Control […]
China’s semiconductor sales plunged 21.2 per cent year on year to US$13.4 billion in November, as economic headwinds continued to hammer global chip demand for the third consecutive month, according to the latest industry data. The decline recorded by China marked the biggest percentage drop among the world’s major markets for integrated circuits (ICs), according […]
WASHINGTON—Jan. 9, 2023—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales were $45.5 billion during the month of November 2022, a decrease of 2.9% compared to the October 2022 total of $46.9 billion and 9.2% less than the November 2021 total of $50.0 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics […]
Not every company celebrates twenty years in business, even less celebrate the success and market leadership enjoyed by Koh Young. As leader of a startup in 2002, I am sure Dr. Koh had not imagined the success of the team he built and the innovations that changed the industry. As well as celebrating our 20-year […]
