As components need to get smaller to accommodate consumer needs, manufacturers need a way of doing this. Nanoelectronics is the creation of electrical components using nanomaterials that can not only reduce the size of the device, but also provide the same, if not better, performance.

Using PMIC to Manage Power for SoCs

On June 15, 2020 in All, Power by Adam Kimmel

Optimizing the design of programmable PMIC SoC requires balancing design flexibility, system efficiency, cost, and time to market. We review one product type that illustrates this balance.

Increased Power Delivery Takes PoE into New Markets

On March 4, 2020 in All, Power by Robert Huntley

Looking to incorporate Power over Ethernet into your next design? Learn the specifics behind the new 802.3bt 90W power sourcing and power delivery standard and how the standard has evolved to answer the power requirement needs of today’s smart building applications.

What We Learned About EV Range Anxiety

On February 28, 2020 in All, Automotive, Connectors, General, Motor Control, Power by Tommy Cummings

We just endured the biggest adventure of our Tesla commitment ... a long-distance journey, an 853km (530-mile) roundtrip in an EV equipped with a 50kW battery that has a 362km (225-mile) range between full charges. We learned valuable lessons, and we’re hopeful for progress.

Nanotechnology Is Inspiring Next-Gen Batteries

On February 20, 2020 in All, Automotive, Industrial, Power by Liam Critchley

Conventional Li-ion batteries have been the staple battery technology in many devices, from phones to handheld monitoring equipment, for many years. Rather than looking into new batteries, companies are looking to further improve the status quo by incorporating nanomaterials into Li-ion electrodes.

Bidirectional Power over Ethernet

On December 27, 2019 in All, Energy Harvesting, IoT, Power by Charles Byers

Power over Ethernet combines data and power delivery over the same twisted pair cable. While standard PoE is unidirectional, driving energy from a PSE to a PD variants exist that are capable of transferring energy in either direction. This can have advantages in distributed IoT systems.
