Toshiba's New Digital Isolator Enables Stable High-Speed ​​Isolated Data Transmission for Industrial Applications

Image
  【Lansheng Technology Information】May 9, 2023 -  Toshiba  announced the launch of the new high-speed four-channel digital isolator "DCL54xx01" series, which has a high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs (min) and 150Mbps high-speed data rate. To ensure the safety and reliability of factory automation equipment, isolation devices are required to ensure insulation and prevent noise transmission. Toshiba provides digital isolator solutions to meet industrial applications' requirements for higher speed, multi-channel signal communication, and high CMTI. The new product uses  Toshiba's  proprietary magnetic-coupled isolation transmission method, which provides a high CMTI of 100kV/μs (min)[1]. This not only realizes high tolerance of electrical noise between input/output in isolated signal communication, but also contributes to stable control signal transmission and device operation. This digital isolator has a low pulse width distortion of 0.8ns (typ...

STMicroelectronics ST-ONE series USD PD controller power increased to 140W

Image
  【Lansheng Technology Information】On April 12, 2023,  STMicroelectronics  launched ST-ONEHP, the first integrated digital controller chip in the industry to pass the USB-IF USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range specification certification. As the third controller in the ST-ONE series, the ST-ONEHP has an output voltage of 28V, which simplifies the development and design of chargers and power adapters with a maximum rated power of 140W. The converter uses ST-ONE architecture, a non-complementary active clamp flyback zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topology, which ensures excellent energy efficiency for applications with high power output and high switching frequency. The chip integrates basic functions such as secondary rectifier and USB PD communication interface, which saves material cost and PCB size and layout complexity. Built-in synchronous rectifiers help maximize energy efficiency, and reinforced galvanic isolation circuitry allows designers to develop a solution t...

"1.8nm" process has no opponents, Intel chip foundry wins MediaTek: mass production in 2025

Image
  【Lansheng Technology Information】On August 25th, in  Intel's  IDM 2.0 strategy, the IFS chip foundry business is no less important than the x86 chip production. Therefore, Intel has independently accounted for this part of the business and is still actively attracting customers. MediaTek is the key target. In terms of chip foundry, MediaTek mainly relied on TSMC before. Last year, it announced the adoption of Intel's Intel 16 process. This is a new "Intel 16" process specially developed by  Intel  for MediaTek. It is based on the improvement of 22nm FFL. This is a very mature chip. of the craft. MediaTek's 16nm chips are expected to start mass production in early 2023, mainly digital TV and WiFi chips with mature processes will be handed over to Intel for OEM. If it can be mass-produced on time,  Intel's  18A process will be the most advanced process in the world in 2025. There is no one, and the technical indicators will be better than TSMC's 2nm pr...

Texas Instruments Introduces New High-Precision Hall-Effect Sensor and Integrated Shunt to Simplify Current Sensing

Image
  【Lansheng Technology Information】 Texas Instruments  launched a variety of new current sensors on August 23 to help engineers simplify design and improve accuracy. Designed to operate over a wide common-mode voltage and temperature range, these new products include lower-drift isolated Hall-effect current sensors for high-voltage systems and eliminate the need for external shunt resistors for non-isolated voltage rails device current shunt monitor product line. Texas Instruments'  new EZShunt™ product family includes small, fully integrated current shunt monitors and the industry's highest precision 75A integrated shunt solution for non-isolated systems up to 85V and 75ARMS. Highly accurate current measurements are increasingly required in high-voltage systems such as electric vehicle chargers and photovoltaic inverters, but the high drift of Hall-effect current sensors over their lifetime makes them often overlooked. The Hall-effect current sensor TMCS1123 features a h...

New progress in large-area perovskite solar energy: Toshiba's 703 cm2 module achieves 16.6% efficiency

Image
  【Lansheng Technology Information】Perovskite solar energy is a promising next-generation photovoltaic technology. It has high conversion efficiency, low material cost and simple manufacturing process. It can also be made into a translucent module, but stability and life are challenges, especially for batteries. After expansion, the efficiency will drop. Today, the large-area perovskite solar module brought by  Toshiba  has an efficiency as high as 16.6%. The conversion efficiency of perovskite solar energy has broken through from 3% to more than 24% in just ten years, but its high conversion efficiency is limited to a small battery of about 1 square centimeter. Once the area becomes larger, the battery efficiency will decline. However, Toshiba built The 703 cm2 polymer thin film perovskite solar module achieves a conversion efficiency of 16.6%. Toshiba  uses a modified version of ink, thin film drying technology and equipment to create a uniform perovskite layer. Th...
