ACAL has announced the availability of new sub-miniature surface-mount crystals which support the growing demand for stable and accurate RF clocking in portable or handheld wireless and other space-constrained applications.

Mitsubishi Electric is launching a new IGBT family using the latest 6th generation IGBT chips with advanced CSTBTTM (Carrier Stored Trench Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology and newly developed diode chips for an optimized loss performance.

Maxim has introduced the MAX9860, a low-power, mono audio codec with dual ADC paths and programmable digital voice filters. The device employs a flexible clocking scheme that utilizes common system-clock frequencies ranging from 10MHz to 60MHz, thereby eliminating the need for an external PLL and multiple crystal oscillators. The MAX9860 is ideal for voice headsets, digital cameras, cell phones, portable recorders, VoIP telephones, and conference...

Providing design engineers with a higher wattage device without increasing the package size, TT electronics IRC has increased the power ratings of its PWC Series resistors. IRC now offers the pulse-withstanding chip resistors in 1/2W (1206 size, increased from 1/3W); 1W (2010 size, increased from 3/4W); and 2W (2512 size, increased from 1.5W).

STMicroelectronics has introduced the VIPerPlus family of off-line SMPS (switched-mode power supply) converters. Following the successful introduction of the first device, VIPer17, in 2008, ST has added the VIPer15/16/25/27/28 devices to form a broad family of AC-DC converters that minimize both standby power consumption and the number of external components required, while enabling easy compliance with Blue Angel, Energy Star and other low-power...

Avago Technologies has announced two new system-on-chip (SOC) LaserStream and LED optical navigation sensors for use in USB corded computer mice and a variety of other input device applications. The ADNS-7700, which incorporates Avago’s patented LaserStream navigation sensor, microcontroller and VCSEL illumination in a single chip, targets designers of desktop PCs, trackballs and integrated input devices. The ADNS-5700 is a single chip USB ...

C&K Components has developed two new series of pushbutton switches. Designated the AP Series and HP Series, both sealed switches feature extended life cycles to 1 million and 10 million actuations, respectively.

CommAgility announced today the AMC-3C87F-GPS, a single width, full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card for 4G wireless PHY layer processing, which includes three Remote Radio Head (RRH) interfaces, an integrated GPS receiver and an OCXO option for timing holdover. By providing this extra functionality, the new module is optimised to significantly reduce system cost and complexity for next-generation wireless base stations.

Electronic Concepts, an Irish capacitor manufacturer, has brought out two new series of filter capacitors whose high energy density makes them a suitable substitute for electrolytic capacitors. The UP3 and UL9 series are self-healing, metallized polypropylene capacitors. The key advantages over electrolytic capacitors are a life of at least 100,000 hours at a maximum temperature of 70°C, low ESL and ESR values, a high current capability of tripl...

Providing circuit designers with a way to integrate power resistors in minimal PC board space, TT electronics BI Technologies has developed a fully customizable power resistor network. Designed specifically for power line testers and attenuators, high voltage test equipment, motor drivers with current sense circuits, snubbers and high voltage power supplies, the power resistor networks are comprised of thick film resistors on a ceramic base and f...
