Improved Environmental Performance for Solderless N Connector
The majority of N type connectors are installed at remote sites exposed to the environment. The RF Connectors Division of RF Industries offers an improved N male connector for high performance .400 inch diameter cables. Part number RFN-1006-I-WB features white bronze plating for a non-tarnish finish with enhanced electrical performance. The plating is ferrous metal free, which reduces inter-modulation interference. A ridged back end provides bett...
RS Components launches Embedded Development Platform
RS Components has announced the launch of its Embedded Development Platform (EDP) designed to help deliver additional cost and time saving options to design engineers. This new solution consists of a baseboard able to hold a combination of up to four CPU or application modules, an innovation in this technology area. The EDP is RS’ first step in a process that will see the introduction of new processor and application modules on a regular basis...
DAC from Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments has introduced what it says is the industry’s highest accuracy digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which features 18-bit monotonic performance, ±2 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL), ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL). Delivered in a small QFN-24 package, the DAC9881 enables customers to increase system performance and simplify designs in precision industrial applications such as automatic test equipment, ins...
Murata's Next Generation Half-Brick DC/DCs
Murata Power Solutions has added two new ranges of single output, half-brick, isolated DC/DC Converters to its product portfolio. The HPH series is a family of ultra-high output converters with different models capable of delivering up to 360W of power and 70A output current. The UCH series comprises modules that deliver between 50W and 150W of output power and a maximum output current of 40A – at a very low cost.
Compact MID-compliant energy meter from Carlo Gavazzi
Carlo Gavazzi’s MID-certified and compliant family of energy meters has been enhanced by adding Dupline Fieldbus capability to the smallest and most powerful MID instrument that enables three-phase direct connection up to 65A and external CT connection up to 10A. This makes the EM24 the only such device on the market fully compatible with a complete and flexible Fieldbus system.
Tiny Surface-Mount Crystal Oscillators from Focus EDL
Focus EDL has announced the availability of a series of ultra small surface mount crystal oscillators with dimensions of just 2.0 x 1.6 x 0.5mm. According to Focus EDL’s Managing Director Geoff Philpot, their tiny size makes the new crystal oscillators ideal for applications where component density on the board can be a prime consideration. These include WLAN Chipsets, Bluetooth, USB, GPS, and Camera Phone Modules.
Dual ADC Drivers from Linear Technology
Linear Technology has announced what it says is the LTC6420-20 and LTC6421-20, the industry’s first high-speed dual differential ADC drivers with guaranteed gain matching, and exceptional noise and distortion performance. With guaranteed matched gain of ±0.25dB and matched phase of ±0.1° (typ), the LTC6420-20 reduces errors in multichannel systems such as IQ demodulation or diversity receivers. Channel separation is 80dB at 100MHz.
Surface mount RFI clips from Harwin
High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has introduced a new range of surface mount EMI/RFI shield clips which reduce assembly time and simplify rework by eliminating secondary soldering operations.
Application note from ITT Interconnect Solutions
ITT Interconnect Solutions has recently been approached by several customers in the transportation sector regarding the suitability of their Trident connector range for a number of applications in trucks, buses and construction vehicles including diggers, cranes and tractors.
NEC Electronics begins sample shipments of latest 8–bit Microcontrollers
NEC Electronics has announced that it is starting sample shipments of 18 new models of its 8–bit microcontroller with built–in Flash memory (all–Flash microcontroller). These products are ideally suited to ancillary functions as sub–microcontrollers, such as controlling small battery–powered systems, managing power to reduce the standby power of home appliances and the like, and controlling key input.
