Power Integrations has introduced a one-chip non-isolated LED driver for loads up to 22W. Capable of working from inputs from 90 to 305Vac, it is triac (and trailing-edge) dimmable on nominal 110V supplies, but not on 230V supplies. The dimming voltage is a clue here – this chip is aimed at commercial US installations where mains …

Texas Instruments has introduced what it claims is the fastest 5.7kVrms isolated dual-channel gate driver. Called UCC21520, propagation delay is 25ns (5ns channel-to-channel matching) and the 4A source and 6A sink output results in 6ns rise and 7ns fall time for a 1.8nF load – meaning faster switching and therefore lower system switching losses for more compact …

Isolated power driver is the fastest yet at 5.7kV

So let’s assume billions of chips are going to get sold for ‘IoT’, what ever that might be. And let’s assume they were going to have ARM Cortex-M_ cores in them. Now that ARM is no longer independent, I can see two futures: Softbank keeps ARM independent, and CortexM_ continues to be the core inside …

Famed San Francisco wax museum turns to AC-powered, MR16 GU10 LED lamps to spotlight life-size representations of actors, politicians, and more, while the Staten Island Museum turned to PAR30 SSL products to light its historical exhibits.

Topics such as horticulture, floriculture, vertical farming, light recipes, and plant response to light will be explored in depth with speakers from academia, research centers, commercial growers, and SSL manufacturers at the Oct. 12 Horticultural Lighting Conference.

You can now use Amazon Elastic Transcoder to create WAV outputs with PCM audio. The WAV format primarily stores raw and uncompressed audio and is ideal for use in editing workflows and for archival. You can try out this format by using the newly available system presets.

AWS Mobile Hub now allows you to set the AWS region where you would like your project’s AWS resources to be provisioned. These include – US East (N Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo) and Asia Pacific (Sydney). Simply login to the AWS Mobile Hub console , create a new project and set the region you would like your resources for that project to be created in. Mobile Hub then uses this setting to provision AWS resources as you enable features like Cloud Logic, NoSQL database and User Data Storage in that region. Additionally, if a particular AWS service needed by a feature is not available in a region that you have provisioned, Mobile Hub will provision services in the nearest region where that AWS service is available.
