Microchip adds to its safety-certified family of maXTouch touchscreen controllers
Networked and connected home appliances enable users and manufacturers to communicate with them via the internet. For example, the user of a kitchen oven might look up a new recipe online or a manufacturer might perform remote diagnostics or over-the-air firmware updates. Displays and touch sensors are essential for enabling this functionality in modern appliances.…
STMicroelectronics enhances automation with new, single-chip GaN gate driver
STMicroelectronics’ new STDRIVEG600 half-bridge gate driver is a high-current output and 45ns propagation delay. This offers a close match between the high and low-side outputs to, ideally, handle high-frequency switching of GaN enhancement-mode FETs. Also suitable for driving N-channel silicon MOSFETs at up to 20V, the STDRIVEG600 allows the flexibility to apply up to 6V…
