Today, we are introducing a redesigned EC2 Spot Requests console , which now supports Spot fleet and Spot blocks , features which simplify and streamline how you use Amazon EC2 Spot instances. Previously, Spot fleet and blocks were available via the AWS CLI and SDK tools only.
TI has brought out two automotive motor drivers that support high-performance powertrain applications – the DRV8305-Q1, a three-phase brushless DC gate driver, and the UCC27211A-Q1, a high-current half-bridge gate driver. For powertrain applications such as transmission pumps or engine cooling fans, the DRV8305-Q1 features a smart gate-drive architecture with programmable slew-rate control that allows easy …

Vishay has published an app note on charging its 196 HVC Enycap series of hybrid energy storage capacitor-batteries – which combine electrostatic and faradaic energy storage, in its words – as it looks like these components need a little TLC if they are to last. “For applications requiring a constantly high charge state of the Enycap capacitors, such …
Silego has added to itSGreenPAK (GPAK) product line. Silego’s GPAK family of Configurable Mixed-signal ICs (CMICs) is designed to easily integrate common discrete ICs and passive components into a single device with programmable Non-Volatile Memory. The SLG46108V brings the functionality and versatility of the GPAK family into the ultra-small 1.0 x 1.2 x 0.55 mm, …

Xilinx has introduced a stripped-down version of its Zynq FPGAs, reducing the number of 64bit ARM Cortex-A53 cored from four to two in the new ‘CG’ variant. The chips retain both the dual 32bit Cortex-R5 cores of their predecessors, but loses the Mali-400 graphics processor, and there is no H.264/H.265 video codec. “The devices add a …
Imec has developed junction-less gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire (NW) FETs built in lateral and vertical configurations. With their simplified processing, improved reliability, reduced low frequency noise and lower IOFF values, they are an attractive option for advanced logic, low power circuits and analog/RF applications. Moreover, they enable a simpler path for considerable SRAM scaling via the …
ASML is to acquire Hermes Microvision (HMI) for $3.1 billion. ASML and HMI are already developing joint approaches that IC manufacturers can use to improve yields. “Our over-arching goal is to serve our customers even better and offer them the tools they need to achieve higher yields at the most advanced nodes,” says ASML CEO …
