Selex assesses lightning protection systems for Radar with CST MWS
The design of lightning protection systems (LPS) is a challenging task, particularly for a mobile Radar system. A detailed study of the current path resulting from a lightning strike through an external lightning protection system, and the induced currents in the system to be protected, enable a reliable design of all relevant parts.
Monitor 24 Automotive Switches with a Single Microcontroller
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX13362, a 24-channel switch-contact monitor for automotive switches. This device enables a single microcontroller to monitor up to 24 mechanical switches distributed throughout the automobile, thus eliminating the expense of multiple remote microcontrollers. The MAX13362 protects low-voltage circuitry from high voltages (27V, max) and reverse-battery conditions, making it well suited for monitoring remot...
