Knowles Precision Devices Introduces Three-Cell Supercapacitors

Knowles Precision Devices, a segment of Knowles Corporation announced that its latest EDLC (Electric Double Layer Capacitor) supercapacitor modules are now available. Based on Knowles' Cornell Dubilier brand DGH and DSF Series supercapacitors, these new cutting-edge capacitors use a three-cell package for higher operating voltages (at up to 9 WVDC) and allow for printed circuit board space savings.

Nanusens, a research venture working on nano-sensors built inside CMOS devices, has announced that its proprietary technology can significantly increase the operational life of earbuds by up to 20%. This can be achieved by replacing the MEMS sensors in an earbud with a single multi-sensor chip solution that is up to ten times smaller, freeing up space for larger batteries. The company will be announcing this technology solution at MWC 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.
