Murata has broadened its portfolio of chip ferrite beads with the introduction of the BLM15PX_SH1 and BLM15PX_BH1 series. Supplied in a 1005 mm (0402 inch) size, these compact and rugged units are highly optimised for automobile deployment.

Leveraging proprietary PCB electrical and mechanical design topologies, Murata has introduced a new series of compact DC-DC converters that are aligned with the increasing prevalence of wide bandgap technology. The new MGN1 series of 1W output DC-DC converters are designed to deliver the voltages needed by the gate drivers of GaN devices.

Leading electronics manufacturer Murata has been cooperating with Autotalks, a trailblazer in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication solutions, to introduce pioneering new technology that will facilitate progression towards cooperative safety and higher levels of automated mobility.

Murata is now fully prepared to participate in this year’s Electronica (15th-18th November) - as the international electronic engineering community returns to Munich Messe once again, after a longer than expected absence.

Murata announces the MRD series of open-loop current sensors for industrial systems. Each integrates high-performance tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) elements - enabling precision measurement with regard to both DC and AC currents up to 40A, as well as maintaining stable characteristics across an extensive temperature range.

Murata has announced its collaboration with NXP Semiconductors to develop the Type 1XL very high-performance Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth^® 5.3 module.

The small yet robust RFID Tags can be fitted to metallic and non-metallic surfaces, perfect for use on small items. To avoid any risk of contamination during the drug filling operations, they can also be embedded into the product, such as pre-filled syringes, vials and cartridges.

Murata has entered into a technology partnership with antenna manufacturer Ignion. This will see Murata components used as a foundation for development using Ignion’s Antenna Intelligence Cloud.

Murata ID Solutions’ radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has helped Italian fashion brand Liu Jo strengthen protection against grey market while driving new efficiencies across its supply chain.

Toshio Nakamoto joined Murata more than 25 years ago in international sales and marketing and quickly progressed through the company, taking on senior roles across the world to help its global expansion.He spent over nine years in the US as General Manager North America, opening Murata’s new office on the West Coast.
