Providing high reliability for Class X1 (440V AC) and Y2 (300V AC) automotive applications, Vishay announces the AY2 series of AC-line-rated ceramic disc safety capacitors. These AEC-Q200-qualified devices are optimised for on-board chargers and battery management in electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), as well as high-reliability industrial applications.

Designed for residential, enterprise and outdoor small cell networks, Broadcom introduces the BCM61735, BCM61755 and BCM61765 SoCs. These low-power small cell baseband processors double the capacity for operators and carriers to offload data traffic from increasingly congested 3G, 4G/LTE mobile and WiFi (802.11n and 802.11ac) networks.

Arvento Mobile Systems has announced that it has chosen to use u-blox's cellular module technology in its tracking and onboard-diagnostics device. The imt.24 - OBD Tracker is designed for real-time vehicle diagnostics and tracking, providing GPS positioning based on a variety of real-time sensor inputs including time, speed, distance, motion, pause, idling and acceleration.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions has announced the introduction of an L-band limiter which the company claims features four times the power handling capability than the nearest competing alternative. The 200W CW (Continuous Wave) power MADL-011014 is suited for demanding applications requiring high peak and CW power receive protection in Air Traffic Management and Radar systems.

Enabling users to predict failure of rotating components including wheel bearings and gearboxes on railway trains, Perpetuum has selected the LPRS easyRadio Advanced (eRA) wireless modules for a sensor system. The eRA 400TRS wireless modules have been designed into the rail sensor systems to reduce cost and installation time, as well as to improve reliability in the harsh environment underneath a train.

The latest release of Spotify Connect, in the standard Microchip JukeBlox Platform, extends support to more than 8 million audio products. Spotify Connect can be easily added by audio brands to existing products through firmware upgrades and new designs based on all of Microchip’s CX870 Wi-Fi modules and DM860 Ethernet processor.  

With devices now available in the 0406 and 1225 case sizes, Vishay Intertechnology has extended the RCL e3 series of long side termination thick film chip resistors. The AEC-Q200 qualified RCL e3 series features enhanced thermo cycling performance for automotive electronic circuits and general purpose applications.

The HARTING Ha-VIS RF-R500 RFID transponder has been successfully tested in accordance with the European Standard EN 50155 for deployment on railway rolling stock. The EN 50155 standard lays down stringent conditions regarding electromagnetic compatibility, shock and vibration.

Semtech Corporation has introduced the SX1238 to its long-range transceiver platform. The SX1238 is the first device available to fully integrate transceiver and front-end module into a single package creating an ideal solution for smart metering applications such as water, gas and electric meters targeting WMBus, 802.15.4g, WiSUN, and Zigbee NAN.

Analog Devices announces a low-power radio transceiver featuring a set of configuration profiles that allow radio performance optimisation, reducing system development time and shortening time-to-market by months. The ADF7024 transceiver is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including security and building automation.
