Cooling High-Powered Electronics with Tiny Drops of Water
Lockheed Martin and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) want to cool high-powered microchips with microscopic drops of water. “A core team of Lockheed Martin engineers is working on a solution to meet the goal of DARPA’s Inter/Intra Chip Enhanced Cooling (ICECool) program: to enhance the performance of RF MMIC power … [Read more...]
NSA Finally Has a Plan for Their Superconducting Supercomputer
The U.S. government has its eyes on “cryogenically cooled circuitry for tomorrow's exascale computers,” reported Spectrum.IEEE.org, a dream over 50 years old. An electrical engineer of the NSA, Dudley Buck, “reported on his own work” in the 1950’s about a “novel superconducting switch he named the cryotron,” according to Spectrum IEEE, and said that “the device works by … [Read more...]
Higher Temperature Rated MLC Capacitors Announced
Knowles brand, Dielectric Laboratories (DLI), has taken temperature performance to a level of 175°C in their Ultra-low ESR and High Q MLC capacitors. DLI detailed the following: “UL is an EIA Class I Stable TC, NP0, Ceramic dielectric, with Ultra Low ESR; High Q, and Low Noise. Parts can now be operated up to +175°C with TCC of 0 ± 60 ppm/ºC (limited to +125°C at 0 ± 30 … [Read more...]
