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.

Most electronic equipment incorporates DC-DC conversion in some form. The switched-mode technique is an efficient solution which enables step up and step down in voltage as well as isolation, with small magnetics. This article gives a broad review of the technology and some commercial implementations.

Murata has co-developed a new generation of RFID modules with Michelin that embed into tyres. The robust passive RFID tags require no external power supply. They survive and continue to work while being driven on for extremely high mileages.

Murata announces availability of the DFE21CCN_EL series of power inductors for 5G smartphones. Intended for use in DC/DC converters and power management circuitry, these components signify major enhancements in operational performance parameters when compared to the company’s conventional inductors.
