Powered by the Freescale i.MX6 processor, the FS700 Qseven module has been unveiled by DFI. The module provides excellent multimedia performance due to the combination of the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with bleeding edge 3D and 2D graphics, as well as high-definition video.

Designed specifically for the transportation market, the TRACe family of operational computers has been launched by Kontron. The two platforms introduced, the TRACe B304-TR and TRACe V304-TR, deliver proven, rugged and feature-rich building blocks that allow design flexibility. 

Designed to protect downstream DC/DC converters in vehicle, mobile or avionic applications of up to 230W power rating, Stadium Power has introduced a range of military power system protection filters. The COBRA family consists of a range of low profile, PCB mounted, baseplate cooled, fully compliant surge and transient protection modules with integral EMC filter.

Suited to industrial applications requiring long range and high-reliability, Radiometrix has launched the SFX2 radio Transceiver module. The device operates on the 500mW 458.5-459.5MHz license-free Industrial/ Commercial Telemetry band in the UK and Ireland, but many other frequency options are available to order.

CML Microcircuits announced that it has added 16-FSK modulation to the CMX7164 multi-mode wireless data modem portfolio. The addition of 16-FSK constant envelope modulation further enhances the flexibility of this modem IC, enabling telemetry systems to evolve into higher data throughput without the need to move to a linear modulation scenario.

Texas Instruments has introduced what the company claims to be the industry’s most power-efficient 5W wireless power receivers that support the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi 1.1 standard. The bq51020 and bq51021 allow consumers to charge their Qi-compliant mobile phones, tablets, power banks and other electronics faster, cooler and more efficiently compared to other available wireless power solutions.

A multi-standard smartphone PMU has been introduced by Broadcom, driving Rezence technology into the mainstream while providing compatibility with existing deployed standards. The BCM59350 wireless charging PMU enables automatic selection between specifications from all three leading standards organizations including the A4WP, PMA and WPC for OEM flexibility. 

An intelligent controller capable of directly driving two DC motors up to 120Amps each has been introduced by Roboteq. Priced at only $425 in single quantity, the XDC2230 is targeted at designers of Mobile Robots, Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Warehouse Automation Systems or any other high power motor control application.

A series of MLCCs, designed to deliver long lifetime performance at operating temperatures in excess 125°C, has been launched by AVX. Rated to an industry leading 250°C, the MLCCs have been designed to accomadate the rapidly emerging military and commercial market demands for high temperature, reliable capacitors. The AT Series capacitors exhibit high current handling capabilities, high volumetric efficiency, high...

A primary switched DC/DC converters series, specifically designed for automotive and railway applications, has been introduced by MTM Power. The PMDS/PCMDS30 series operate according to the current source push-pull principle and working with a frequency of 70/140 kHz.
