15.11.2022 07:01:41 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Power management and video/audio interface IC leader Kinetic Technologies announced two new milestone products that can increase the Power Delivery capability of USB Type-C ports to 140W, removing the barrier to expanding the range of electronic products charged via USB. The KTS1898 is dedicated to switching and protecting VBUS power, while the KTU1128 is dedicated to switching and protecting the CC1/2 and SBU1/2 lines.
The KTS1898 is a low-resistance, 5A load switch with soft-start, overvoltage, “ideal diode” reverse-current, short-circuit, over-current, over-temperature and ESD protection plus integrated surge protection of ±100V, designed to isolate and protect downstream components from abnormal VBUS voltage and current conditions. The fast reverse current protection (ideal diode) allows multiple power paths to be connected to VBUS OUT without interference.
The KTU1128 companion IC is a Thunderbolt compatible, Type-C USB data line protection and switch IC, providing low-resistance, ultra-fast OVP, and surge protection for the CC and SBU lines. Maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility with existing products, the KTU1128 increases the operating tolerance on CC and SBU lines to 32V for short-to-VBUS protection and reduces the quiescent current.
“The KTS1898 and KTU1128 are industry leading devices that allow designers to implement USB Type-C PD3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) up to 140W and effectively address safety at the same time,” says Erik Ogren, Kinetic Technologies Senior Director of Marketing. “With the ability to withstand up to +35V on VBUS, the KTS1898 delivers the margin our customers require to build 28V systems that are designed to be safe and reliable, while the super low-resistance 25mΩ MOSFET keeps heat to a minimum, which is essential when operating at such high-power levels. The KTU1128 features the same built-in robust protection and together extends Kinetic’s lead in this application.”
KTS1898 and KTU1128 samples are available now with production starting in first quarter 2023. Visit Kinetic Technologies for further information.

Verdict Expected Soon in Klarna’s $8.3 Billion Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google24.2.2026 19:09:00 CET | Press release
PriceRunner v. Google: Sweden’s Largest-Ever Civil Damages Claim Reaches Decision Stage; Klarna Provides Investor Update Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) announces that the Patent and Market Court of Sweden (Patent- och marknadsdomstolen) is expected to deliver its verdict on April 15, 2026 in the antitrust damages proceedings brought by Klarna’s subsidiary PriceRunner International AB against Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited. The trial, which ran from October 20 to December 19, 2025, concerned PriceRunner’s claim for approximately $8.3 billion in damages — the largest civil damages claim ever filed in a Swedish court. The Case The claim arises from Google’s abuse of dominance in online comparison shopping, as established by the European Commission in a binding 2017 decision and upheld without reservation by the Court of Justice of the European Union in September 2024. PriceRunner alleges that Google systematically demoted competing price comparison services in its search results whi

Yubico Unveils “YubiNation Partners”: A New Era of Global Channel Partnership to Secure Digital Identities in the Age of AI24.2.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
Yubico (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: YUBICO), a modern cybersecurity company and creator of the most secure passkeys, today announced the launch of YubiNation Partners, a new global Channel program designed to unite a community of security experts. In the face of growing AI-driven cyber threats, the program enables partners to become trusted advisors and cultivate a safer digital world for their customers, making identities private and secure. As the average cost of a corporate security breach climbs to $4.4 million*, with phishing remaining a primary attack vector, the industry can no longer rely on passwords alone. In fact, a 2026 Total Economic Impact study from Forrester Consulting commissioned by Yubico, found that by replacing traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) and one-time passwords (OTP) with YubiKeys, customers achieved a 265% return on investment (ROI). This effectively eliminated phishing and credential-theft risks, reducing an organization’s risk exposure to breach costs fr
