Point Grey today announced the launch of its new Grasshopper Express GX-FW series of IEEE 1394b (FireWire-b) digital cameras. The Grasshopper Express camera series is housed in the same compact housing as the original Grasshopper, but offers a host of new features and a new hardware architecture designed to accommodate a wide range of high speed quad-tap image sensors. The first available model, the GX-FW-10K3M-C, uses a monochrome version of the...

Crystek's CVCOT8BE-2400-2500 TO-8 VCO operates from 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz and provides high-performance frequency control in harsh, demanding environments. These VCOs feature a typical phase noise of -101 dBc/Hz @ 10KHz offset and excellent linearity. Tuning sensitivity is rated at 55 MHz/V. Pulling and Pushing are minimized to 11.0 MHz and 1.0 MHz/V, respectively; second harmonic suppression is -15 dBc typical.

Even the most efficient internal combustion engine can only convert about one-third of the energy derived from fossil fuels into the mechanical kinetic energy needed to power a motor vehicle. Over the past few years BMW EfficientDynamics has made great improvements in engine efficiency, for example with technologies such as direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, exhaust-driven turbochargers, brake energy regeneration and the Auto Start Sto...

Leading electrical and electronic connector specialist FC Lane Electronics is exhibiting at DSEi 2011, the Defence Systems & Equipment International exhibition, which this year is being held at London’s ExCeL exhibition centre from 13 to 16 September.

This document is an engineering report describing a non-isolated LED driver (power supply) utilizing a LNK457DG from the LinkSwitch-PL family of devices. The RD-251 provides a single constant current output of 350 mA over an LED string voltage of 12 V and 18 V. The output current can be reduced using a standard AC mains TRIAC dimmer down to 1% (3 mA) without instability and flickering of the LED load. The board is compatible with both low cost le...
