Higher efficiency, increased power density, smaller footprints and reduced system costs: these are the main advantages of transistors based on silicon carbide (SiC). Infineon Technologies AG is starting volume production for the EASY 1B, the first full-SiC module announced during PCIM 2016. On the occasion of this year’s PCIM in Nuremberg, the company is showcasing additional module platforms and topologies for the 1200 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET family. Infineon is now able to bring the potential of SiC technology to a new level.

Spectrum GmbH has announced a new function for its extensive range of modularly designed digitizers. The Boxcar averaging function smooths out high frequency noise to give a clear signal.

Analog Devices, Inc. announced the availability of two 50 Mbps RS-485/RS-422 transceivers for use in harsh environments including industrial automation, motor control, military and avionics.

The Knowles Capacitors R&D unit based in Norwich, England, together with the U.K.’s National Physical Laboratory and Euro Support Advanced Materials of the Netherlands, have completed a project under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme.

Passive Plus, Inc. (PPI) now offers extended voltage for the EIA Low ESR 0201N Series.

Rogers Corporation has introduced RO1200™ high speed, extremely low loss laminates. As the demand for faster and more data drives channel speeds of core network infrastructure beyond 50 Gbps, one of the limiting factors in increasing performance is the signal attenuation resulting from the circuit materials.

Pulse Electronics announces a new series of multi-Gigabit NBase-T compliant RJ45 connector modules for 2.5GBase-T and 5GBase-T applications. The NBase-T technology offers a cost-effective solution for boosting speed on existing Cat5e and Cat6 networks from 1 Gigabit to 5 Gigabits for distances up to 100 meters. Pulse's Integrated Connector Modules (ICMs) meet IEEE802.3bz specifications and are compatible with 100/1000Base-T specifications.

Tektronix, Inc. introduced the TTR500 Series USB vector network analyzer (VNA), adding to the growing Tektronix portfolio of USB-based RF test instruments.
