Inertial Aerosystems have introduced a new small diameter high temperature and shock resistant accelerometer with enhanced temperature capability. It has been designed primarily for down hole measurement while drilling (MWD) applications in the gas and oil industries and also wireline environments that require a small form factor such as the new generation of directional and horizontal drilling tools.

The need to continuously monitor, record and analyse system performance is more important than ever, driven by the increasing regulations on safety and the high cost of plant shutdowns. The traditional back-lit annunciator still provides the clearest method of alerting the operator and, when combined with RTK Instruments’ System 9000TS, allows accurate time tagging of these events.

Updating its support for PowerPC processors, Quadros Systems has announced support for the MPC55xx series of 32-bit microcontrollers from Freescale Semiconductor. Developers can now combine the efficiency, flexibility and scalability of the RTXC software family with the low-cost, high performance MPC55xx family.

ON Semiconductor has introduced a series of two-terminal linear constant current regulators ideal for driving current in automotive, industrial signage and architectural LED lighting applications. The new constant current regulators operate over a wide range of input voltages and provide engineers a simple and cost-effective solution for regulating current in their applications without compromising on performance.

The ATS682LSH from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a Hall-effect sensing integrated circuit and magnet combination that provides a flexible, easy-to-use solution for true zero-speed sensing of ferrous targets in two-wire applications.

Hongfa’s HFD4 is a purpose designed, 4th generation relay available from distributor Switchtec. Meeting many international standards, the relay is one of the smallest of its type in the marketplace, and saves space in crowded telecoms PCB applications.

Minimizing the complexity of software integration with a uniform open source multimedia framework, Texas Instruments has announced a new GStreamer plug-in for developers designing with OMAP35x processors and digital media processors based on DaVinci technology. With the new GStreamer plug-in, embedded Linux developers can leverage an open source library to incorporate audio and video playback, audio and video synchronization and recording capabil...

Texas Instruments has introduced a high-efficiency, high-power Power-over-Ethernet controller for 13 or 26W powered device applications, such as IP phones, wireless access points or security cameras. Fully compliant to the IEEE 802.3at draft 4.0 standard, the integrated TPS23754 supports DC/DC converter topologies that can achieve higher than 90 percent power conversion efficiency, which reduces heat and increases reliability of the system. The s...

Atmel has announced the availability of a new AVR 8-bit microcontroller for automotive LIN networking applications. The ATtiny87 is the second device of a LIN-dedicated low pin-count family specially optimized for cost-sensitive LIN slave applications.

Agilent has introduced EMPro 2009, the full 3-D electromagnetic design and simulation software that represents the next step in integration with Advanced Design System, the industry's leading RF and microwave design and simulation platform.
