National Semiconductor Introduces LVDS Crosspoint Switches, Drivers and Receivers
National Semiconductor has announced a family of automotive-grade low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) 2 x 2 crosspoint switches that deliver the industry’s best signal integrity and noise immunity at data transmission rates up to 3.125 Gbps. These PowerWise crosspoints, which consume as little as 105 mW of power per channel, combine with National’s line drivers and receivers to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation in a wide ra...
Eurotech's SBC based on the Intel Atom processor.
Eurotech has been working with Intel Corporation as an early adopter of Low Power Intel Architecture (LPIA) devices. As a result of this work Eurotech have now released the new ISIS single board computer. ISIS is a PC/104+ format device offering levels of functionality and performance traditionally requiring a high performance x86 board, but at a significantly reduced power consumption of less that 5 watts. This fan-less x86 compatibility is ac...
Vishay's New 1-A Output Current Integrated Power Phototriac
Vishay Intertechnology has announced an integrated power phototriac that outputs currents up to 1A to drive resistive and inductive loads. Offered in the 16-pin DIP package, the VO3526 consists of a GaAs infrared LED that is optically coupled to a monolithic photosensitive non-zero-crossing TRIAC detector chip. This in turn powers on an integrated power TRIAC. By eliminating the need for an external power TRIAC, the device cuts design costs and s...
