Rohde & Schwarz added the
R&S NRP90T and R&S NRP90TN
models to its portfolio of thermal
power sensors. Presented as
the first test and measurement
instruments in the market to
support the novel, robust 1.35 mm
precision coaxial connector, they
cover frequencies up to 90 GHz.
Emerging applications include
automotive radar from 76 to 81
GHz, and the WiGig extension
IEEE 802.11ay operating up to 71
GHz. These and others highlight
the need for a novel, robust
coaxial cable connector suitable
for industrial applications at
frequencies up to 90 GHz.

Renesas Electronics' magnetfree IPS2200 inductive position
sensor features high accuracy and
speed, total stray field immunity,
and efficient motor integration,
in a thin and lightweight form
factor. Well-suited for use as
an absolute position sensor in
industrial, medical, and robot
applications, among others, the
sensor allows customers to costeffectively tailor sensor design for
their applications and maximize
performance. The IPS2200 is
designed around the motor,
allowing customers to match the
number of sectors to pole pairs of
the motor to maximize accuracy,
accommodating both off-axis
(through shaft and side shaft) and
on-axis positioning.

Designed for batteries in
hybrid and electric cars, the
TLE9012AQU sensing and
balancing IC is also suitable for
other applications. It measures
the voltage in up to 12 battery
cells with an accuracy of ± 5.8
mV over the entire temperature
and voltage range, as well as
the operating life cycle. It also
supports up to five external
temperature sensors, provides
an integrated cell balancing
function, and uses an ISO-UART
interface for communication.
The TLE9012AQU provides the
necessary measurement data,
and ensures a balanced state of
charge through cell balancing.

Ironwood Electronics released
new Grypper test sockets for
the latest LPDDR5 memory.
Ironwood's GR1032-0001 allows
testing of the latest-generation
LPDDR5 devices that have 315
Ball at 0.7 x 0.8mm pitch, at
speeds up to 6400Mb/s. The
LPDDR5 Grypper socket fits to the
same location/PCB footprint as
the device, allowing development
and failure analysis. The socket
has an electrical performance
of -1dB insertion loss, up to 40.0
GHz. The force required to insert
a device is 45 grams per contact,
and the socket is sold in three
configurations.
