In December 2025, NXP Semiconductors confirmed it would close its ECHO wafer fab in Chandler, Arizona. A facility opened in 2020 specifically to manufacture GaN-based power amplifiers for 5G base stations. The company’s RF power business “no longer aligns with its long-term strategy,” and NXP expects to complete final GaN wafer runs in the first… Read More »

System integrators, panel builders, and procurement teams working on high-speed rail infrastructure face a persistent challenge: trackside signaling and interlocking equipment must operate reliably across a wide voltage range while withstanding surges that would destroy standard industrial power supplies. The railway environment is uniquely demanding. Extreme temperature variations from -40°C to +85°C, long-term shock and… Read More »

For system integrators, optical engineers, and procurement teams in the laser and photonics industry, the mechanical foundation of an optical system is not a commodity. It is the difference between nanometer-stable alignment and drift that degrades measurement accuracy or beam quality. TPS Elektronik’s precision CNC machining service for laser optical baseplates and kinematic mirror mounts… Read More »

For system integrators, panel builders, and electrical engineers working in medium voltage substations, capturing transient overvoltage events is not a debugging luxury—it is a fault recording necessity that determines grid reliability and equipment protection. The Micsig TO2004 (available through TPS Elektronik) is a versatile 200MHz tablet oscilloscope designed for general purpose debugging, electronic test, education… Read More »

For system integrators, panel builders, and electrical engineers specifying power for high-voltage industrial servo drives and motion controllers, the power supply is not an afterthought—it is the foundation of system performance. The EA-PS 5080-20A (order number 05100307) is a high-performance programmable desktop DC power supply from the EA-PS 5000 A series, delivering 0–80V DC at… Read More »

For system integrators, panel builders, procurement teams, and electrical engineers, a 15U 19-inch cabinet is not only a mechanical enclosure. In power electronics projects, it becomes the physical interface between programmable power supplies, power distribution, protection devices, control wiring, field terminals, cooling, service access, and project documentation. The Sentinel-Y 15U Cabinet is positioned for this… Read More »

System integrators, panel builders, and procurement teams rarely fail because they lack a telecom specification. They lose time—and budget. When an outdoor base station cabinet, deployed on a windswept rooftop or a humid coastal site, succumbs to water ingress or corrosion within its first year of service. A single compromised enclosure can take down a… Read More »

A German automotive Tier 1 supplier faced a critical project milestone: their 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter for an electric vehicle platform had to pass CISPR 25 Class 5 conducted emissions. The most stringent automotive EMI standard. Initial pre-compliance testing at TPS Elektronik’s EMC laboratory revealed excessive noise across the AM and FM… Read More »

Data center architects and system integrators rarely fail because they lack a server specification. They lose time—and competitive edge. When a single microsecond of latency added by a poorly managed cable or a stray electromagnetic field from a neighboring server rack causes a trading algorithm to miss a market window. In the world of high‑frequency… Read More »
