Varistors protect automotive ethernet from overvoltage conditions
KYOCERA AVX has extended its AntennaGuard range of proven, high-performance, and ultralow-capacitance products with two new 0402 multilayer varistors (MLVs) that meet IEEE 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 testing requirements. The new ASPGuard Series MLVs have small, ultralow-profile, surface-mount packages optimized for high-density designs and exhibit high current and energy handling capabilities, bidirectional overvoltage protection, super-fast, sub-nanosecond response…
Triple-radio and multiprotocol MCUs add application processors
The RW612 and K32W148 from NXP add processors to bring application processing on-chip, reducing complexity through fewer parts and using less board space in smart home devices.
iSIM puts carrier information deep inside a device
While eSIM moves carrier information from external cards to internal devices, iSIM moves the SIM down to the chipset. That reduces size and cost.
eSIM eases changing carriers for phones and IoT
Learn about the evolution of a SIM card to the creation, use, and function of the eSIM.
Log-periodic antennas cover 600 MHz to 6 GHz
Pasternack has expanded its line of wideband, log periodic antennas. Pasternack’s new, high-performance, wideband, log periodic antennas operate from 600 MHz to 6000 MHz for point-to-point wireless communications. They feature gain ranging from 3 dBi to 16 dBi and can be used for long-distance directional communication over a wide range of frequencies. These outdoor-rated, directional antennas function as boosters…
Module adds LTE Cat 4, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth to IoT devices
Quectel’s SC200E LTE modules add LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS to any IoT device, controlled through the Android OS.
Test service brings confidence to Wi-Fi devices, or finds bugs
Spirent’s Wi-Fi test service lets you run a battery of performance and precertification tests for routers, access points, or IoT devices. I recently replaced a failed old dehumidifier. Like so many devices, the new unit has connectivity, which is great because now I don’t have to go downstairs to check if the bucket is full.…
5G antenna shrinks to fit smaller IoT devices
Antenova Ltd announces a new and smaller SMD antenna for 5G and 4G frequencies. The antenna is named Minima, part number SR4L075. At 40 x 10 x 3.3 mm, Minima is the smallest 5G antenna that Antenova has brought to market so far. Its small volume and low weight, below three grams, suit it for…
eSIM connects machines, IoT devices to 5G networks
STMicroelectronics has announced the ST4SIM-201 embedded SIM (eSIM) for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, which meets the latest standards for 5G network access, M2M security, and flexible remote provisioning and management. Compliant with ETSI/3GPP release 16, the ST4SIM-201 can connect to 5G standalone (SA) networks. It can also connect to 3G and 4G networks and low-power wide-area…
