ORing Introduces HD-enabled Ethernet Switches for Rolling Stock
Rolling stock, in developed and developing countries alike, plays a key role in driving a nation’s industrial development. For example, high-speed railway not only bolsters the national economy, but also brings prosperity to the people. Therefore, secure, reliable, and always-on network systems must be deployed to allow the control center to monitor railway systems in real time and ensure passengers a comfortable and safe journey. However, ...
TVS diode array offers superior clamping protection
Littelfuse has introduced the SM24CANA Series 200W TVS Diode Array (SPA Diodes), for protecting the automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), and other overvoltage transients. It absorbs repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation and safely dissipates 3A of surge current wit...
