Every important industrial application is closely correlated to sensor performance: Power generation, vehicle performance, health care products, smartphones, and thousands of other everyday processes are compromised without reliable, durable, cost-efficient sensors.

The existing multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) market is, well, multilayered. Even though MLCCs have been around since the early 1960s, they’re still considered an emerging technology, given the tremendous advancements in memory, performance, and durability on an annual basis.

Pancon Corporation today announced that it will close two manufacturing plants in North America. Its' two sites located in East Taunton, Massachusetts and Temecula, California, will be shuttered within the next 90-days effecting a total of 102 associates.

For harsh environments involving conditions such as dust, moisture, shock, vibration, or extreme temperatures, a more rugged, specialized kind of connector is needed to maintain high-speed data transfer. Fortunately, there are many different options available to meet these stringent requirements.

Modules ease design of Bluetooth 5 wireless solutions for space-constrained IoT applications Raytac’s ‘MDBT42V modules’ employ Nordic’s nRF52832 WL-CSP SoC to deliver reliable long-range wireless connectivity and good RF performance in a compact form factor.

ON Semiconductor Wide Bandgap Silicon Carbide (SiC) Devices incorporate a completely new technology that provides superior switching performance and higher reliability compared to silicon. The system benefits include the highest efficiency, faster-operating frequency, increased power density, reduced EMI, and reduced system size and cost.

Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every two years has pretty much held up since the early 1970s. At that time, there were up to 5,000 transistors in advanced integrated circuits. Today, that figure is roughly 50 billion. At some point, designers and engineers wondered, “Wouldn’t physical space limits eventually make Moore’s Law obsolete?”

With semiconductors, the future is always today. Rapid advancements in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and applications continue to drive technology forward.

Explore the key differences between semiconductors, conductors, and insulators. Regardless of how you contribute to your company’s SCM process, it helps to know the differences between each part.

Walsin offers a complete portfolio of MLCCs to fulfill diversified applications from smartphones, networking devices, automotive electronics, to medical.
