Nujira and RF Micro Devices announced that they will be demonstrating an efficient broadband power amplifier (PA) design for 4G base stations at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, February 2010. The design integrates the new RFMD RFG1M family of high performance gallium nitride (GaN) amplifiers with Nujira's Coolteq.h envelope tracking power modulators.

Silica is appearing at this year’s Embedded World fair in Nuremberg (March 2nd – 4th, 2010) entirely under the banner of “Networking for automation systems”. There will be a live demonstration of controlling a high-stack shelving system based on EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) standards. The high-stack shelving system is used as an example to show how many things industrial Ethernet can do.

Linear Technology announced the LT3029, a dual low noise, low dropout regulator with independent inputs and independent shutdown control for each channel. The device delivers up to 500mA per channel of continuous output current with a low dropout voltage of only 300mV at full load. The LT3029 features a wide input voltage range of 1.8V to 20V, delivering output voltages as low as 1.215V and up to 19.5V.

Molex Incorporated has released two additions to the Impact Backplane Connector System, its high-speed, high-density connector system for the telecommunication and data networking market. The Impact CoPlanar Connector System and Impact Mezzanine Connector System provide the ultimate flexibility to optimise designs for superior mechanical and electrical performance.

Maxim introduced the MAX14770E PROFIBUS-DP/RS-485 transceiver. Maxim's next-generation BiCMOS process technology enables the device to achieve fast (20Mbps) data throughput while integrating robust (±35kV, HBM) ESD-protected structures in a small TQFN package.

Altair Semiconductor, a 4G chip company developing the world’s most advanced mobile semiconductors for handheld devices, and Aeroflex, the leading global provider of Long Term Evolution (LTE) test equipment, today announced a joint LTE collaboration.

C&K Components has developed a Hall-effect pushbutton switch with life cycles to 10 million actuations. Designated the HP Series, the sealed switch features a non-contact Hall-effect contact system, and a high-energy magnet provides a linear magnetic field for the Hall device.

The new miniature SMD-Converters RSx/R2x from RECOM offer 2 Watts power rating, are RoHS6/6 compliant and therefore absolutely lead-free. They can operate at ambient temperatures up to +100°C with convection cooling and without derating, are EN60601 and UL60950 certified and pin compatible with industry standard converters.

The CIT Relay & Switch J107E1 series is the industry standard 10amp in 12 and 24 volt coil. The rugged J107E1 is low in cost and offers a very appealing lead time of six to eight weeks. Small in size and robust, this high performance relay is UL certified and RoHS compliant.
