DT Electronics has made available Exar's family of dual universal asynchronous receiver transmitters (DUARTS) that operate from a 1.62V to 3.63V supply and feature 16, 32 or 64-byte FIFOs. Designated the M-series, each channel of these devices is capable of data rates up to 16 MBps at 3.3V with a 4X sampling clock.

Following its acquisition by Nu Horizons, DT Electronics has landed a UK and Ireland franchise with Xilinx, the programmable logic devices company. Nu Horizons already represents Xilinx in both the US and Far East. This is the UK distributor’s most significant franchise since it won the Atmel line in 2002 and it will enable the company to provide a much more comprehensive offering to customers in its core broadcast, communications and industri...

DT Electronics announces the STK1000 development kit for Atmel’s AT32AP700 MCU/DSP chip. The new device, based on the AVR-32 32-bit architecture, is said to execute 3x the processing power per clock cycle of its nearest competitor so that compute intensive algorithms can be executed at lower clock speeds and hence lower power.

Now available from DT Electronics, OKI’s mechanical multi-channel optical switches incorporate micro-optics technology to achieve a maximum of 1.5dB insertion loss, thus eliminating the need for an optical amplifier.

DT Electronics has made available the Logic Devices LF2242 digital filter as a direct replacement for the Fairchild TMC2242 which is now obsolete. The LF2242 is a 12/16-bit half-band interpolating/decimating digital filter that eliminates the tuning needed with analogue filters.

Coventry-based distributor, DT Electronics, has expanded its field applications engineering (FAE) team in the North of England with the appointment of Tony Green.

DT Electronics has introduced the Logic Devices LF3312 frame buffer / FIFO. The new device simplifies the design of digital video and data buffering systems by replacing both standard synchronous Random Access Memories (RAM) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic with a single chip. The LF3312 is the most flexible memory device for buffering multiple video formats. It uses both sequential and random access addressing and integrates both h...

DT Electronics has available Oki's Advantage Microcontroller Evaluation (AME) Kit which enables embedded system developers to rapidly evaluate and write software for the company's ML67Q4050/4060 series of 32-bit ARM7TDMI-based microcontrollers. ­

Coventry based DT Electronics has been named 'Best European Independent Distributor' at the recent Atmel sales conference in Marrakech. It is the first time this award has been given by Atmel in recognition of the important role that specialist independent distributors now play in its network.

DT Electronics has published a short technical guide entitled ‘Solutions to RF and low power radio applications’. The guide, which is available free of charge, describes recent trends in low power wireless components and system architectures.

DT Electronics announces an expanded range of 10 Base-T, 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet connectors. New options for each type include integral USB connectors, power-over-Ethernet connections and built-in LEDs for status indication.
