Now available from RF radiation safety specialist Link Microtek is a new isotropic H-field probe for the Narda SRM-3000 selective radiation meter – an innovative instrument that is capable of measuring emissions from each individual source within a multiple-frequency RF environment.

BVM's latest addition to its family of Mini-ITX form factor motherboards is the LV-67B, which, based on the Intel GM45 Chipset, provides a platform for the latest 45nm Core 2 Duo Mobile family of processors that conform to the Socket P pin-out. Offering low power consumption, outstanding graphics processing, memory and I/O bandwidth, the LV-67B is optimised for embedded applications such as interactive clients, gaming platforms and industrial au...

Compared to traditional voltage regulators based on analogue control, Ericsson Power Modules’ BMR450 uses a highly integrated digital PWM controller. This makes it possible to increase current density while decreasing footprint, and to reduce component count by 50%. Further, thanks to embedded dynamic and adaptive controls, it is possible to reduce power consumption by adjusting critical parameters to match load conditions, resulting in higher...

The new XCM406 Series multi-chip module (MCM) from Torex Semiconductor combines two XC6210 high current, high speed LDO (low dropout) regulators in an ultra small USP-12B01 (2.8mm x 2.3mm x 0.6mm) package. With high performance, reliability and very low power consumption, these highly integrated devices meet the needs of battery-driven applications such as mobile phones, Bluetooth equipment, portable gaming devices and other portable equipment.

Renesas Technology Europe has announced the SH74504 and SH74513, 32-bit MCUs with embedded flash memory for automotive driver-assist system control applications. Designed around Renesas’ SH-4A CPU core, they have been developed specifically for driver-assist systems such as those capable of obstacle detection and collision avoidance.

picoChip has announced three software reference designs that provide the first integrated network listen (or ‘sniffer’) capabilities for femtocells. The PC8210, PC8211 and PC8810 Radio Environment Scanners (RESs) enable femtocells to detect WCDMA, GSM and TD-SCDMA networks respectively.

AdvancedTCA systems supplied by electronics packaging specialist Schroff have helped to reduce the development costs and time-to-market of the latest flagship WiMAX base station from Airspan Networks Inc.

Microchip has announced its enhanced mid-range 8-bit PIC microcontroller core (MCU) architecture supporting PIC12 and PIC16 MCUs, with feature and peripheral improvements including more program and data memory; a deeper/enhanced hardware stack; additional reset methods; 14 additional programming instructions, including “C” efficiency optimisations resulting in code size reductions; increased peripheral support; and reduced interrupt latency.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of a new series of surface-mount aluminum capacitors that offers high-temperature operation +105°C, low impedance values, and high capacitances and ripple currents.

Lorlin Electronics continues to widen its highly successful range of rotary switches. A new IP65 sealed version of the popular CK series of switches is also now available manufactured from UL VO compliant fire retardant material and offers a design solution for switching in harsh and outdoor environments.
