32.768 KHZ MEMS RESONATOR IS ONLY 0.9×0.6×0.3MM

32.768 KHZ MEMS RESONATOR IS ONLY 0.9×0.6×0.3MM

Measuring just 0.9×0.6×0.3mm (50 % smaller than a conventional 32.768 kHz crystal resonator), the WMRAG series 32.768 kHz MEMS resonator is the world’s smallest, claims manufacturer Murata. Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Nagaokakyo-shi, Kyoto; Chairman of the Board and President: Tsuneo Murata) has developed the world’s smallest 32.768kHz MEMS resonator, which is expected to

CH3330N – SMALL AND CHEAP USB SERIAL CONVERTER IC NEEDS NO CRYSTAL

CH3330N – SMALL AND CHEAP USB-SERIAL CONVERTER IC NEEDS NO CRYSTAL

Recently the hobbyist market has seen the appearance of the Air602 low-cost ARM WiFi module. This module might be a potential competitor of ESP8266, another low-cost powerful WiFi module, that took the electronics hobbyists by storm long ago and is still extremely popular. But what’s more interesting about the Air602 module is the usage of a completely new USB to

NANO SANDWICHES IN ELECTRONICS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE RISK OF OVERHEATING

NANO-SANDWICHES IN ELECTRONICS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE RISK OF OVERHEATING

A new study about “Reduction of overheating of 2D materials” published in the Journal of Advanced Materials. The work put behind the study is credited to the researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Engineering. By joining together two-dimensional materials used in nanoelectronic devices between their three-dimensional silicon bases, they formed an ultrathin layer
