Ultralow Noise DC/DC Regulators Meet Both EMI & Multi-Gigabit SERDES Specifications
Linear Technology has introduced the LTM4606 and LTM4612, ultralow noise DC/DC uModule regulators designed to deliver low noise power by attenuating both radiated energy and conducted wideband harmonic energy. The LTM4606, designed to regulate outputs from 0.6V up to 5V, has been verified by Xilinx Corporation, demonstrating flawless high speed multi-gigabit-per-second digital data transmission in SERDES (serializer-deserializer) and RocketIO app...
ESA’s Big-Bang mission instruments trust Tekdata harnesses for super-chilled performance
The Ariane 5 space mission has just launched carrying two satellites to collect signals remaining from the Big Bang, which will rely on ultra-low-temperature electrical interconnects developed by Tekdata. The satellites on board are the Herschel Space Telescope, which is the largest optical space telescope ever launched, and the Planck satellite for radiation measurement. Planck’s instruments are capable of measuring radiation levels below two ...
Interactive CD from AVX combines technical specifications on tantalums with some fun
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and leaded solutions, has just released ‘Tantalum City’, a new CD from its Tantalum and Niobium Oxide division which is much more than a standard catalogue of parts and specs.
