At first glance the eco-PEN series of preeflow volumetric dosing dispensers from Intertronics appear to be very similar and this is largely true with the eco-PEN 300, 450 and 600 all showing the same better than 1% accuracy through ViscoTec’s unique patented “endless piston” design. However, there are subtle and important differences to be considered; in particular the eco-PEN 300 is suited to a wide range of low to high viscosity materials...

KIC introduces the new KIC 24/7 Wave, using embedded sensors in the wave solder machine to automatically measure the thermal profile for each and every processed PCB to the acceptable process window. A thermocouple also is installed in the solder pot to constantly measure the pot temperature.

Silicon Laboratories Inc. today introduced the industry’s smallest and lowest power customizable clock generators. Available in a tiny 1.7 mm-squared package, Silicon Labs’ new Si512xx clock generator family offers up to 60 percent lower power than competing solutions and is ideal for space-limited, cost-sensitive embedded and consumer electronics such as portable media players (PMPs), industrial metering and monitoring, portable navigation d...

Maxim Integrated Products Inc. today announced the d, the industry’s first mono, 3.2W, Class D amplifier with integrated input coupling capacitors. With the integrated input capacitors, the MAX98314 fits in a small 1mm x 1mm solution size and saves at least 25% board space. The part is ideal for applications where PCB area is critical, as in portable electronic products including mobile phones, portable audio applications, notebooks, MP3 player...

BPM Microsystems has added the model 2800ISP In-System Programming Station to its device programming product line. By incorporating its award-winning 8th Generation site technology utilizing Vector Engine BitBlast into a custom-designed test fixture, BPM Microsystems’ 2800ISP allows customers to program flash architectures including eMMC, PCM and Raw NAND, plus microcontrollers and other device technologies on-board after reflow.

STMicroelectronics today introduced the industry’s first voltage-level translator compliant with the latest SD (Secure Digital)1 3.0 standard. The increase in storage capacity and access speed of SD 3.0, together with the low static power consumption and small package size of ST’s new level translator, makes it an ideal choice for interfacing application processors or digital basebands to SD memory cards in mobile phones, portable media playe...

Count On Tools Inc. introduces the new ezLOAD PCB support system. With the recent increase of densely populated double-sided circuit boards, COT recognized the need for more affordable board support options in the electronics manufacturing industry. The end result is an innovative design that is not only easy to setup and install, but also offers industry-leading benefits to EMS companies and contract manufacturers worldwide

Silicon Laboratories Inc. today announced the expansion of its PCI Express (PCIe) clock generator and clock buffer portfolio, providing the industry’s broadest range of clocking solutions to address the stringent specifications of the PCIe Generation 1/2/3 standards. Silicon Labs’ expanded PCIe timing portfolio includes both off-the-shelf Si5214x clock generators and Si5315x clock buffers for power- and cost-sensitive PCIe applications and th...

ZMD AG today introduced a class-leading 16-bit sensor signal conditioning IC (SSC) for calibrated resistive sensor modules. The ZSSC3016 combines high accuracy amplification, 16-bit precision analog-to-digital conversion, and an 18-bit DSP for linearization and calibration functions.
