AWS AppSync Launches a Guided API Builder for Mobile and Web Apps

By

Today, we’re launching a new guided API builder for AWS AppSync. Before today, knowing GraphQL was a pre-requisite for building an AWS AppSync API. This is because, AWS AppSync is powered by GraphQL, a powerful API query language that allows your backend and applications to perform complex data fetching in a single round trip for efficient network operations. The “no-code” GraphQL API builder , we release in July 2018, was a step in relaxing this requirement. With today’s launch, we are making it even easier to create a powerful, serverless API for your mobile and web apps without any prior knowledge of GraphQL.

Rohm aims at car sensors with mini dc-dc converter

By

ROHM is aiming to power the sensors in self-driving cars with a family of compact dc-dc converters. Called the BD9S series, the parts support output currents from 0.6 to 4.0A and come in 3x3mm packages, and operate at up to 90% efficiency (3.6Vin 1.8Vout). Switching is current-mode, resulting in fast load transient response, and fixed 2.2MHz …

DIY origami shields PCBs against EMC

By

Wurth has come up with a neat idea for those in need of shielding on their PCB, but without time to order a custom part. For prototyping, ShielDIY is bend-it-yourself shielding made from 0.2 mm thick metal sheet with pre-embossed fold lines at 5mm intervals. “To produce an individual shielding cabinet of the required shape, …

Molex and Ixia collaborate on 4G Ethernet

By

Molex and Ixia  to use Ixia’s K400 QSFP-DD to generate and receive 400 Gigabit Ethernet line rate traffic over Molex’s 3-meter Direct Attached Cable (DAC). Real-time analysis on K400 will showcase test results of pre-FEC (forward error correction) per lane BER (bit error rate) of around E-9. The superior performance of the “inherent” BER of the …
