Specialized integrated mass transit connectors detailed in ITT application note
A new application note from ITT Interconnect Solutions describes customer-requested solutions for mass-transit applications that require complex integrated interconnects. Based on VEAM connectors, such integrated components include complete harnessing systems such as junction box assemblies that integrate directly into mass-transit vehicle designs. VEAM interconnects are available in an array of shell sizes and contact arrangements to meet the mo...
Lattice Semiconductor and Synplicity Expand Partnership
Lattice Semiconductor and Synplicity, Inc., have announced an expansion to the companies’ existing OEM agreement. Under the terms of the new agreement, Synplicity will be Lattice Semiconductor’s exclusive synthesis partner, and Lattice will broaden its synthesis offering in its ispLEVER design tool suite to include the industry-leading Synplify Pro logic synthesis software for higher-level designs.
Murata’s environmentally-friendly tape packaging for ultra-small 01005 chip capacitors is said to be 90% cleaner
Murata’s GRM02 series of 01005 chip capacitors is now available in W4P1 plastic tape packaging. This new tape is 4mm wide and has a pitch of 0.1mm, saving around 75% of the volume of packaging material waste compared to the previous tape packaging. As the new tape is plastic, it reduces the amount of fluff and dust produced by at least 90% over the old paper tape. Class 1000 clean mounting processes can now be applied to the GRM02 series, so th...
Combined switch and break functions from Aerco
The E-T-A 8345 series of single and multi-pole combined toggle switches and magnetic circuit breakers is now available in the UK from Aerco. With a current rating from 0.1A to 125A, which is 25A above the industry norm, at up to 240AC or 110VDC, these compact breakers have a well-proven design, are highly robust and have a fast and accurate switching performance.
CETECOM introduces a FACTSware based A-GPS test solution
CETECOM has developed and introduced a new member of the FACTSware test platform family (TP86). The RF performance test cases which are required by GCF and PTCRB for A-GPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) have been implemented so that this new A-GPS test solution enables testing according to the 3GPP Test Specifications TS 34.171 (A-GPS Minimum Performance) and TS 51.010-1.
Arbitrary/function generator offers 40 V peak-to-peak amplitude
The AFG3011 arbitrary/function generator is the latest addition to the Tektronix AFG3000 Series of signal sources for design, test, and manufacturing engineers. While the vast majority of arbitrary/function generators provide a maximum of 10 V p-p amplitude into 50-ohm loads, a number of applications – particularly in automotive and power electronics design - require higher amplitudes.
High-Resolution Brightness LED Drivers for Enhanced LCD Backlight Control
Catalyst Semiconductor continues to expand its line of patented, Quad-Mode fractional charge pump LED drivers with two new high-resolution brightness devices, featuring 32-dimming levels to provide enhanced LCD backlight control in emerging portable product applications. The new CAT3647 and CAT3648 address the need for high-resolution LCD control and longer battery life in cell phones, digital cameras and other handheld devices, where designers ...
Pin- & Software-Compatible 16-/12-Bit ADCs in MSOP Packages Guaranteed to +125°C
Linear Technology has introduced a family of pin- and software-compatible 16- and 12-bit SAR ADCs (Analog-to-Digital Converters) that guarantee operation across the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. Operating from a single 5V supply, the 16-bit LTC1864/LTC1865 and 12-bit LTC1860/LTC1861 each draw only 850uA and are guaranteed for output rates up to 250ksps. The LTC1864 and LTC1860 are pin- and software-compatible ADCs that measure a...
