As devices get smaller and power demands grow, connector selection is becoming more critical than ever. Designing for performance in a tight footprint is one of the most persistent challenges in modern electronics. Whether you're building…

NXP Semiconductor has introduced a new connected NFC tag designed to help manufacturers fight counterfeits and comply with upcoming digital traceability regulations. The NTAG X DNA is a Type 4 NFC tag that combines secure authentication,…

Step into the future of prototyping with the Arduino Portenta Proto Kit VE. Equipped with the Portenta H7 board, Nicla Vision, a Proto Shield, and the Arduino Pro 4G Module, this kit is perfect for developing machine vision and…

A few years ago, the idea of designing a PCB in a browser would’ve sounded like a gimmick. Engineers were tied to heavyweight desktop tools, juggling version control and passing files through emails or shared drives. But as engineering…

Forget clunky metal limbs and tangled wires — the future of robotics might just be squishy, wobbly, and ready to walk right off your desktop. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have pulled off something remarkable: they've created…

As we make our way through 2025, significant updates to the EU's RoHS and REACH regulations are impacting the electronics industry. These changes require immediate attention from design and compliance engineers to ensure continued market…

As demand grows for more precise and compact sensing solutions in both consumer and industrial applications, ROHM Semiconductor has expanded its lineup of surface-mount near-infrared (NIR) LEDs. The company’s latest additions include six…

When working at millimeter-wave (MMW) frequencies, power amplifiers are frequently equipped with isolators at their output ports. However, the purpose of this is often misunderstood. The primary reason isolators are utilized has less to do…

When it comes to electronics design, the humble connector plays a big role. It can influence everything from signal integrity to system longevity. Harwin's 2025 survey of North American engineers and buyers reveals not only how crucial…

Most engineers don’t struggle with designing a great idea—they struggle with getting it off the ground fast enough. Whether you’re building a machine vision system, a remote environmental monitor, or an edge AI application, the early…

Littelfuse introduces its first gate driver with integrated bootstrap diode and resistor, aimed at high-speed, space-constrained designs in tools, motors, and power systems

Electronics design has always faced a unique set of challenges. Unlike software development, which has embraced agile methods and DevOps practices to speed up iterations, hardware design is still bogged down by slow cycles and fragmented…

In the early 2000s, the automotive industry was a fortress of proprietary systems. Microcontrollers were tightly coupled with vendor-specific instruction sets, and the idea of open hardware was considered too risky for safety-critical…

The electric vehicle (EV) market is growing, and with it, the demand for more efficient power systems. Infineon Technologies AG and Visteon Corporation have announced a collaboration focused on developing better power conversion systems for…

In aerospace and semiconductor manufacturing, even the smallest defect can have catastrophic consequences. Engineers have long relied on non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to catch imperfections before they become failures. But…
