#Nokia 6 Tear-Down Build quality review video. “Built like a Tank”, says the reviewer

Nokia 6 from HMD is the only phone currently available in the market (China & Taiwan) out of the latest Nokia Android Phones range. We earlier posted a video of Nokia 6 undergoing a series of durability or torture tests like bend, burn and scratch. It impressed reviewer so much that they termed it as “the most solid phone he has ever filmed”.

Now the same YouTube channel has reviewed the Build…

The month of September will be remembered not only for the launch of the new generation iPhone but also for the profusion of datacom products on the occasion of the ECOC show.

There was no shortage of formal announcements for the latter but no company that scored sockets in the new iPhone 5* was able to issue press statements as to the street cred of their products through this very high profile consumer device.

Tear-down analyses revealed the goodies and who supplied them with mainly US companies taking the lionshare of RF wins. Skyworks provides two baseband PA modules (SWUA 147 228 RF antenna switch module and the 77491-158 CDMA PA module), TriQuint also provides PA modules but once again Avago did well with two slots: the AFEM-7813 dual band LTE duplexer module and A5613 ACPM-5613 LTE PA. And according to Chipworks there is an additional RF chip, which could be from RFMD.

Picking from the news stories is seldom easy but I was taken with the item from Silicon Labs which if it holds up (and we all know the hyperbole to found in PRs (I should as sometimes write them!)) could mean a boon to designers but worries for optocoupler suppliers. It has launched the first drop-in replacement for optocouplers based on CMOS with what it calls a “LED emulator input” that adds up to complete immunity to the output variations that plague LED-based optocouplers and its CMOS-based capacitive isolation technology provides more than ten times the MTTF rate of optocouplers. Also in opto who would have thought that butterflies would hold such promise. Oclaro and partners have a new MSA setting a new standard SFF pump laser package - now everyone can  design their amplifiers in a butterfly package about a third the size of the legacy 14-pin format package.

To end for now, there was good news in the solar sector not the least congrats to Tokai University's Solar Car Team, sponsored by Panasonic, who won the Sasol Solar Challenge South Africa 2012. Equipped with Panasonic's top level HIT solar cell as well as high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, Tokai University's solar car successfully completed the longest distance solar car race in the world**.
