A tour of the tradeshow at CES 2012 suggests that innovation is being focused on the consumer marketplace. But this year, we’ll mainly see improvements on existing ideas.

Modeling is Key to Substrate-Embedded Magnetics
for Next-Gen Connectors


The latest 3D PCB processes are being employed to manufacture wideband planar transformers and common-mode chokes embedded in substrate, using proven techniques to more efficiently manufacture reliable, highly consistent structures.

 

Who ya gonna call for DisplayPort connectors?

DisplayPort ConnectorDisplayPort is designed for internal and external system solutions for high bandwidth audio and video data transfer in the notebook and PC market. The standards, defined by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), cover provisions for high definition digital audio-video and graphics streaming via the interface through the same cable. This reduces cost and provides ease of use through the plug-and-play feature, making it user-friendly for consumers. It also provides performance scalability for future developments of high quality displays, high color depths, and high refresh rates displays.

Thanks to Molex for supplying the DisplayPort product definition.
