A new switch solution for applications in a humid, wet and dusty environment has recently been introduced by Tyco Electronics. New PRC series power rocker switches provide an optimum protection against dust and liquids and are quick to install. PRC series switches are sealed to IP66 and feature easy to install snap-in mounting to a 21.2x36.6mm panel cut-out. Available in SPST, SPDT, DPST and DPDT contact configurations, the new switch devices pro...

Tektronix has announced several new probe tips with signal bandwidths to 8 GHz including high temperature applications for the P7500 Series TriMode Differential Probe. The new tips are designed specifically for probing DDR2 and DDR3 memory DIMMs and are also useful for general purpose probing applications. The new accessories use socket cable technology for quick and easy attachment. The new TriMode tips provide improved usability and lower co...

First level defence of electronic assemblies is often a post-assembly dielectric spray used to protect against moisture, bio-hazards and low level mechanical problems. Now Intertronics’ sales partner DYMAX Corp have trialled their Dual-Cure 9481 Conformal Coating, showing significant improvements over previously available products.

Peregrine Semiconductor has claimed a breakthrough in the solution to mobile antenna tuning. The Company’s new DuNE Technology, a patent-pending design methodology made possible by Peregrine’s UltraCMOS process and HaRP design innovation, has enabled a single-die tunable capacitor circuit – referred to as a Digitally Tunable Capacitor (DTC) – which meets the high-performance demands for antenna tuning in leading-edge cellu...

Peregrine Semiconductor has announced its new line of high-power RF switches for the mobile radio market. Featuring a 50 Watt 1dB compression point, the PE42510A single-pole double-throw (SPDT) and PE42650A single-pole triple-throw (SP3T) UltraCMOS RFICs deliver unprecedented linearity with ultra low insertion loss at high power.

Analog Devices has introduced a pair of four-channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that use 50 percent less printed-circuit-board surface area than other ADCs in their class. The AD9239 and AD9639 quad analog-to-digital converters require only eight pins and traces, compared to as many as 26 in competing dual-channel devices, which yields space savings in high-speed signal processing applications, including cable infrastructure and p...

National Instruments has announced LabWindows/CVI 9.0, the latest version of the proven ANSI C development environment for building reliable test and measurement solutions. It includes an improved compiler and debugger, which speed test development and throughput, and introduces new features for real-time systems to deliver application reliability.

Helping PC programmers and embedded developers move their embedded devices into the familiar Windows operating environment without losing critical design time or added costs, BSQUARE Corporation announced the availability of a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 board support package (BSP) for the Cortex-A8 processor-based OMAP35x evaluation module (EVM) from Texas Instruments. Developers of industrial, automotive and consumer applications now have access to...

Texas Instruments and 3M Library Systems today celebrated a 10-year relationship that has created of one of the major markets for radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. To date, millions of TI Tag-it HF-I chips help libraries track periodicals in 3M Library Systems worldwide. Developed with a memory that reliably retains its data for an estimated 60 years at 131 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius), TI supplies its durable, high-qua...

Vishay has expanded its family of Gen III TrenchFET power MOSFETs with the release of a new 20-V n-channel device offering the industry’s lowest on-resistance and on-resistance times gate charge for a device with this voltage rating in the PowerPAK SO-8 package type.
