Linear Technology has announced the LTC3558, an efficient, multi-function power management solution for handheld applications. The LTC3558 integrates a stand-alone Li-Ion/Polymer battery charger and two high efficiency synchronous regulators - one buck-boost and one buck - and is offered in a compact low-profile 3mm x 3mm QFN package. The linear battery charger can deliver up to 950mA charge current from a wall adapter supply, or up to 500mA char...

Powerstax PLC will return to Electronica with a focussed display of their high efficiency application rich power solutions. Based around their market-leading ultra-high efficiency 500W DC:DC converters and modular AC power supplies Powerstax can quickly configure bespoke industrial, communications and medical power systems.

Analog Devices has introduced a high-speed differential amplifier that delivers the industry’s best combination of high performance, low noise and reduced power consumption for engineers driving high-gain ADCs (analogue-to-digital converters) in power-sensitive communications and instrumentation systems. Drawing less than half the current of other devices in its class, ADI’s ADA4927 differential amplifier achieves greater than 80 dB SFDR (spu...

Texas Instruments has introduced a high-resolution (24-bit), high-speed (625kSPS) delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADS1672 features a unique combination of wide bandwidth, outstanding AC and DC performance, and a dual-path digital filter to give greater flexibility to designers of automated test equipment, test and measurement, medical instrumentation, vibration analysis and sonar/military equipment.

Aonix has ported its ObjectAda tools to LynxOS RTOS for PowerPC, the preferred environment for engineers building large, complex systems. ObjectAda’s new greatly improved features include an enhanced linker dramatically reduces link time, more efficient debug facility, upgraded support for mixed code, and improved multilanguage debug support, and more.

Now available in the UK from Aerco is the SMOX range of surface-mount test-points from Oxley Developments. The only surface mount test-point available on the market with a unique retention mechanism that enhances reliability through low stress connections, the SMOX range requires a minimum pad size of only 2mm and so can be used on even the most congested board.

Developed initially for passenger aircraft seating controls, a new capacitive switching system from WASP is easily adapted for use in almost every situation where non-mechanical switching is required. A conventional printed graphic overlay, protected by clear acrylic or polycarbonate is used together with a circuit design which operates a switch using the user’s natural body capacitance. The switch panel uses a proprietary capacitive sensor...

Texas Instruments has introduced two integrated analog front ends (AFEs) for handheld ultrasound systems. The newest members of TI’s AFE family for medical ultrasound, the industry-first 16-channel AFE5851 and the 8-channel AFE5801 bring breakthrough power efficiency and smaller footprint to support the new market for handheld ultrasound systems that can fit in a doctor’s pocket.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of three new X2 electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression film capacitors with an increased maximum mains voltage of 310 VAC and a wide range of lead pitches and capacitance values.

DSL create their own 8/16 bit ISA BUS low power board and use customer specific part numbers to defeat obsolescence
