Convection cooled 150W power supply offers up to 6.9Win³ power density
XP Power has announced availability of the SDS150, a compact, high density, convection cooled power supply that is ideally suited to IT and industrial applications where space is at a premium and there are no internal fans. Both open frame and U channel models can be used in 1U customer applications. The open frame model, 76 x 127 x 36 mm (3 x 5 x 1.44 inches), offers the highest power density of 6.9 watts per cubic inch and the U channel, 81 x 1...
Omniflex Omni16 Alarm Annunciator continues to lead the way
In an age when a generation of technology is probably less than 12 months it is barely conceivable that the Omni16 Alarm Annunciator has remained at the forefront of its market niche, flashing its way into control rooms of industry around the world for more than 25 years. For the benefit of non omni16 users, the annunciator is packed full of user selectable features that enable practically any alarm annunciation function to be accomplished.

Crosspoint switches and high-speed differential amps combine to deliver 500MHz for analogue video
Analog Devices has introduced the industry’s first combination of analogue crosspoint switches and driver/receiver amplifiers that support bandwidths up to 500 MHz for analogue video. Low implementation costs and the ability to deliver high resolution content across distance continue to make analogue video the preferred method for distributing full-motion video to LCD and plasma displays used in retail outlets, public spaces and KVM (keyboa...
ORing Controllers Protect Server and Telecom Power Systems from Transient Events
Texas Instruments has introduced a family of ORing power controllers with advanced features and high performance that improves power distribution in 12-V blade servers, N+1 telecom systems and redundant low-voltage processor power supplies. The integrated circuits provide a high-efficiency replacement for ORing diodes, and offer intelligent monitoring and control of power supplies to prevent bus transient events from causing board-damaging faults...
DC/DC Controller Drives N-Channel MOSFETs
Linear Technology has introduced the LTC3822, a 2.75V to 4.5V input synchronous step-down DC/DC controller that drives N-channel MOSFETs without requiring an external supply for gate drive. In addition, the LTC3822 eliminates the need for a sense resistor by using MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing current, which improves efficiency and reduces solution cost.
7in TFT features high brightness and enhanced colour imaging
Digital Displays has recently released a new 800xRGBx480 (WVGA) resolution TFT-LCD display. This display features a digital RGB TTL interface and LED backlight. The panel provides a high, 400 nit brightness with a 500:1 contrast ratio. In addition to the LED backlight, this display features Kodak 's 'Brightness Enhancement Film' (BEF) technology for vibrant and true colour images.
Ultra-small power ICs available in SO-8 packaging
Power Integrations has announced that all members of its LinkSwitch TN, -LP and -XT families of ICs are now available in SO-8 packaging, enabling emerging applications such as LED lightbulbs and miniature chargers.
Ultra-small power supplies help designers deliver energy-efficient LED alternatives
Power Integrations has introduced a reference design kit (RDK-131) for ultra-small power supplies that helps designers deliver energy-efficient LED alternatives to incandescent lights. The kit helps designers produce a power circuit that fits inside the LED lightbulb socket, and also ensure that their incandescent-replacement LED lightbulbs will pass EMC requirements for conducted and radiated electrical noise.
Compact haptic switch offers integral LED
New from Foremost Electronics is a range of short-travel haptic switches which, having the option of an integral LED, are ideally suited to a broad spectrum of switched control applications, such as in an automotive steering wheel which typifies its current use.
