Available now from Solid State Supplies are two internal PCB antennas from Pulse which represent an easy way to achieve 2dBi gains with omnidirectional radiation patterns for 360° coverage, in a very compact size. The antennas are designed with machine to machine (M2M) communications in mind and the range includes both ISM2.4GHz and GSM models.

Texas Instruments has introduced the bq20z4x and bq20z6x family of battery fuel gauge ICs with enhanced charging, including the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Association (JEITA) profile. The new battery fuel gauges feature TI’s Impedance Track technology and provide the highest degree of capacity measurement for two- to four-cell battery packs used in next-generation notebooks and netbooks, portable industrial and medical equ...
