C&K Extends Life Span of Micro-miniature, Snap-acting detect switch
C&K Components has significantly extended the operating life of its microminiature snap-acting detect switch to 100,000 actuations. Available in four surface mount options, the MDS Series snap-acting switch is also available in vertical and right-angle PCB mount and through-hole versions which now include surface mount options of: “left with pins,” “left with no pins,” “right with pins,” and “right wi...
Simple-to-deploy solution to boost network performance
LSI Corporation today introduced the Axxia network accelerator AXP3420 card, designed to accelerate critical networking tasks in enterprise and cloud datacenters. The AXP3420 card plugs into a standard PCIe slot to accelerate network functions such as application recognition and security, and improves networking performance for servers and networking equipment.
Huawei Unveils Highest Spectrum Efficiency WDM Prototype
Huawei today unveiled its new WDM prototype, improving upon the current mainstream commercial products that use a 50GHz fixed spectrum interval. Boasting the highest spectrum efficiency among WDM products currently available, Huawei’s WDM prototype features a flexible spectrum interval with a minimum granularity of 12.5GHz, which not only increases the spectrum utilization and flexibility of the WDM system, but also lays a solid foundation for ...
Crystek Achieves Phase Noise Benchmark of -168 dBc/Hz With CCHD-950 HCMOS Clock Oscillator Development
Crystek Corporation’s Ultra-Low Phase Noise CCHD-950 Series HCMOS Clock Oscillator pushes the phase noise performance benchmark with a -168 dBc/Hz noise floor (100 MHz model). The CCHD-950 generates frequencies between 45 MHz and 130 MHz, with 50 MHz, 80 MHz, 100 MHz and 130 MHz offered as standard.
ASSET's two new ScanWorks controller kits tap into high-speed PCI Express bus
Two new controller kits for the ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments from ASSET InterTech can accelerate test throughput by plugging into the high-speed PCI Express bus in the personal computer where ScanWorks is running. The new controller kits can apply ScanWorks non-intrusive board tests to a circuit board.
200mA High Speed LDO Voltage Regulator with Inrush Current Prevention
The new XC6233 Series of voltage regulators from Torex Semiconductor offer fast load transient response performance, PSRR is 75dB @ 1kHz, as well as low quiescent current performance, only 45µA in operation. These fast, low dropout voltage regulators provide a highly stable, low noise supply that meets the demands of most battery-driven circuits.
Pulse Electronics Introduces Pin-in-Paste RJ45 Connectors with Integrated Magnetics
Pulse Electronics Corporation introduces pin-in-paste RJ45 connectors with integrated magnetics. The pin-in-paste method, also called pin-in-hole or intrusive reflow, is a process that allows through-hole components to be reflow soldered instead of wave soldered.
X-ES Introduces SFFR Rugged Router Running Cisco IOS Software
If you try to pronounce SFFR, we think you’ll say “safer,” which is exactly what SFFR offers: safer, secure, encrypted communications, courtesy of superior X-ES hardware, running Cisco IOS IP Routing software. At less than 72 cubic inches and 3.5 pounds, SFFR is the smallest available rugged router hosting Cisco IOS.
Maplesoft’s recently released version of Maple comes with improved connectivity to major CAD systems
Available from Adept Scientific Maple 16 extends its support to Autodesk Inventor 2012, Solidworks 2012 and Siemens NX 8. CAD users can take advantage of Maple's computational power to analyse and optimise designs. By using Maple, CAD users determine the mathematical relationships between objects and how changes to object properties impact other objects in their design.
New Semtech RF Transmitter Improves Performance While Reducing System Cost and Extending Battery Lifetime
Semtech Corporation. today expanded its RFIC platform with the new SX1243, a fully integrated, low cost FSK / OOK radio transmitter designed to replace a surface acoustic wave-based resonator transmitters in garage door openers, remote keyless entry and other consumer remote control systems. The SX1243 features a fractional-N phase lock loop, which delivers higher performance and more flexibility, while minimizing the BOM cost versus traditional ...
