CI-ONE integrates a Ka-band power amplifier and single-pole double-throw (SPDT) RF switch into a compact surface-mount module designed for satellite communication, aerospace, radar and emerging 5G/6G applications. Built using gallium arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT technology, the modules operate from a 6V supply and offer output power options of 30dBm, 34dBm and 36dBm to support 1W, 2W and 4W system architectures. Switching speeds of 5ns enable agile transmit systems while maintaining approximately 22% efficiency at the 1dB compression point. Reduces component count, simplifies RF routing and lowers thermal complexity for Ka-band front-end designs. The integrated architecture is designed to reduce module size by roughly three times while improving efficiency and cutting system costs compared with traditional discrete implementations.
Umicore introduced Auruna 8000, a nickel- and cobalt-free gold-iron high-speed electrolyte engineered for sustainable hard gold plating in high-speed and brush plating applications. The weakly acidic process produces low-porosity, wear-resistant coatings with approximately 99.7 wt.% gold and 0.3 wt.% iron, achieving hardness of about 130HV and meeting ASTM B-488-01 Type I, Code C specifications for demanding technical uses. Operating at 45–65°C with a pH range of 4.2–4.6, supports plating speeds of approximately 8µm/min and metal content from 2–30g/l (nominal 12g/l).
TNC Series NTC thermistors expand Stackpole’s passive component portfolio into temperature sensing applications using thick-film construction for improved mechanical robustness compared with multilayer NTC designs. Thick-film technology reduces susceptibility to cracking and thickness variation across resistance values. Devices are available in 0402, 0603 and 0805 chip sizes with resistance values from 50Ω to 2MΩ and B values from 2410K to 4800K. Components support temperature sensing, monitoring and control applications up to 150°C, offering fast thermal response in compact footprints. Target markets include automotive systems, battery monitoring, and industrial and medical temperature sensing equipment. Pricing varies by size, resistance, B value and tolerance, with volume options available through distribution partners.

Questa One Agentic Toolkit introduces domain-scoped agentic AI workflows for integrated circuit design and verification, aiming to support faster register-transfer level (RTL) sign-off with configurable human oversight. Toolkit integrates with the Fuse EDA AI system while maintaining framework-agnostic compatibility to preserve existing EDA investments. Engine-native intelligence leverages model context protocols to enable autonomous goal decomposition, adaptive cross-run strategies and persistent verification knowledge development. Initial release includes RTL Code Agent, Lint Agent, CDC Agent, Verification Planning Agent and Debug Agent to support code generation, lint analysis, clock domain crossing verification, plan creation and root cause analysis. Platform integrates with Questa One Verification IQ, Questa One SFV, Questa One Sim, Tessent software and Veloce CS systems to support connected, data-driven verification workflows across simulation, formal and hardware-assisted validation. Built using NVIDIA Llama Nemotron and NVIDIA NIM models to address increasing complexity in 3D IC, chiplet and software-defined system architectures.
