It is an ideal choice for applications requiring high stability in harsh environments. Industrial applications include robot control systems, machine control systems, platform stability and control, and motion analysis and control.
Murata Power Solutions has announced the MTC2 series of 2w single output, voltage stabilized and isolated DC/DC converters. The converter measures only 0.59 "x 0.56" x 0.44 "(14.99 mm x 14.22 mm x 11.23 mm) and complies with UL/EN 60950 Enhanced Insulation Safety Standard and ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 Medical Safety Specification for commercial equipment, With 2 x MOOP(operator protection means).
The Picoleaf, developed by Murata, is a thin flexible sensor with high sensitivity for compression detection using unique piezoelectric technology. The installation space can be saved, and compared with the previous sensors, the thin shape, assembly performance and durability are improved.
Murata has developed the DC-DC "charge pump module MYC0409 with industry-high power density (5.4kW/ INCH3) and support 48V input voltage
The company has developed a small wireless module "LBEE5KL1YN" with the Wi-Fi™/ Bluetooth ®/ low power Bluetooth two-in-one chip "CYW43439" and a Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth/Bluetooth low power Combo two-in-one product "CYW4373E" with the Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth/Bluetooth low-power Combo chip "CYW43439". Small wireless module "LBEE5PK2AE", both products support audio data communication PCM interface. They are suitable for the miniaturization, high performance, low noise IoT market, handheld wireless systems, gateways, and industrial equipment applications.
Murata supplies products such as multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) and passive components that can be found in many mobile phones and electronic devices worldwide. Murata's MLCC -- which temporarily stores excess charge to regulate voltage and current, thereby stabilizing electronic devices -- now accounts for about 40 percent of all MLCC sales worldwide.
Murata introduced the small RAIN RFID tag at Pharmapack in Europe. Tags are created to provide unique identifiers that allow RFID readers to determine the identity and authenticity of items in healthcare applications. The company integrated the antenna in a multi-layer ceramic substrate to produce a small, robust RFID tag capable of automatic identification and batch reading in excess of 400 units/min to improve throughput efficiency.
Pycom provides a new Murata device management and application support platform -- also known as the Device Cloud. The platform will connect All Murata iot customers to the cloud, providing a seamless development environment and supporting firmware and native support for Murata Type 1DX, Type 1SJ and Type 1SC modules. This allows client project teams to move seamlessly from proof of concept to full integration of bare modules when scaling out deployments.
Murata partnered with NXP Semiconductors to develop the Type 1XL's extremely high performance Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 modules. The ultra-small dual-band module is based on NXP 88W9098 Combo core group, and the Wi-Fi part of the module supports connection speed 1.4 times faster than traditional Wi-Fi compatible devices, providing up to 1200Mbps data rate. Module size 19.1mm(l)× 16.5mm(W)× 2.1mm(H)
Murata has launched the ID-Bridge 4.0 suite, the development of which relied on deep collaboration with RFID experts at the University of Parma, as well as input from key players in the retail and consumer goods sectors. This solution works for a large number of different use cases, bypassing the need for customers to create custom systems from scratch.
Murata uses the latest silicon process technology to manufacture silicon capacitors with a density of 1.3µF/mm². The very low ESL(very little pH) and low ESR(very little mOhm) of these devices support the highest performance of the new distribution network (PDN). These multi-terminal devices also provide a variety of SoC and microprocessor design requirements for multi-terminal capacitor networks.
From September 2021, customers creating iot projects will be able to take advantage of the new Pycom Evaluation Toolkit based on Murata, which offers full-stack iot.
Murata ID Solutions' RFID technology has assisted Italian fashion brand Liu Jo to strengthen protection against the grey market while pushing new efficiencies over its supply chain. The RFID technology is deployed at its distribution centres to enhance the traceability of products, lessen complexity from the logistics operation and reduce product transit time.
