The new A3290 and A3291 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe are temperature-stable and stress-resistant Hall-effect latches in small, robust packages. Superior high-temperature performance is made possible through dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused by device package over moulding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. The two devices are targeted at non-automotive applications and are ident...

Marl Optosource has announced a new range of LEDs, using the latest manufacturing and semiconductor technology to achieve the best ever lumens light output per penny cost of the LED.

Texas Instruments has introduced a family of high- or low-side measurement, bi-directional current shunt monitor integrated circuits (ICs) in SC70 packages. Utilizing a zero-drift bi-directional architecture, the INA210 family provides outstanding accuracy up to 1 percent over the -40C to +125C temperature range, with 35uV maximum offset. The near elimination of offset with zero-drift reduces the voltage drop and power dissipation in the accompan...
