Murata announces that its Power MONO ceramic capacitor has been designed into a hybrid electric scooter. Power MONO ceramic capacitors are much more compact than their film or aluminium electrolytic counterparts and feature high allowable ripple current. Further, Murata designed innovative metal terminals for the Power MONO series that prevent cracking in the ceramic material when exposed to mechanical stress.

Murata has developed the industry's smallest isolator for use in 800MHz/2GHz mobile phone handset applications. The CEG23 series' innovative construction helps to save mounting space in even the most demanding of designs. The new isolator is 56% smaller than Murata's previous generation of isolators, measuring a tiny 2.0 x 2.0 x 1.0mm.

Linear Technology has announced the LT3755, a 60V, high-side current sense DC/DC converter designed to drive high current LEDs. Its 4.5V to 40V input voltage range makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including automotive, industrial and architectural lighting. The LT3755 uses an external N-channel MOSFET and can drive up to 14 1A white LEDs from a nominal 12V input, delivering in excess of 50 watts. It incorporates a high-side curr...
