Desktop cases from Schroff are pre-configured for PXI instrumentation
Schroff has introduced a new series of desktop cases that are supplied fully configured for use in PXI-based test and measurement applications. Using the proven technology of Schroff’s ratiopacPRO case, the new PXI complete systems are available in a choice of four versions designed to accommodate 8, 14, 18 or 21 PXI boards.
Dual 36V Step-Down LED Driver Delivers up to 1.5A/Channel
Linear Technology has announced the LT3475, a dual 36V, up to 2MHz step-down DC/DC converter designed to operate as a two-channel constant- current LED driver. Each channel has an internal sense resistor and dimming control, making it ideal for driving LEDs requiring up to 1.5A of current. One channel switches 180 degrees out-of-phase with the other, reducing input ripple. High output current accuracy is independently maintained for each channel ...
Connector enables standard USB 2.0 cables to be used in harsh conditions.
Now available from international assembling distributor PEI-Genesis is the Amphenol 'USB Field' connection system, which enables standard USB 2.0 cables to be used in harsh environmental conditions. Based on the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector design, the USB Field system comprises a choice of metallic receptacles and a metallic plug incorporating a triple-start coarse-ribbed threaded coupling nut, an anti-decoupling device and two-position p...
Wireless Temperature Input Devices
Measurement Computing has announced the release of two wireless temperature input devices modeled after the popular USB-TC and the USB-TEMP. The new products, the WLS-TC and the WLS-TEMP, are essentially identical to their USB predecessors but with an added RF module, which allows for wireless data transfer.
Development Tool from TI Adds High Speed ADC and Precision FIR Filter Target Boards
Giving designers of portable, battery-powered applications added flexibility and functionality in a low cost, full-featured development environment, Texas Instruments target boards for the eZ430 development tool: the T2012 and the MSP-Mojo. At $10 for a pack of three target boards, the T2012 features the MSP430F2012 ultra-low power microcontroller (MCU) with an integrated high performance 200 ksps, 10-bit analog to digital converter (ADC). In a c...
High-voltage microstepping motor driver IC with built-in translator and overcurrent protection
The new A3987 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a microstepping motor driver IC which combines an output drive capability of 50 V and ±1.5 A with built-in translator circuitry and overcurrent protection. The new device is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, quarter and sixteenth step modes, and includes a fixed off-time current regulator which has the ability to operate in slow or mixed decay modes. Typical applications ...
Fully integrated test solution for A-GPS mobile handsets
Aeroflex has launched a fully integrated solution for testing A-GPS (Assisted-GPS) enabled mobile handsets. The solution is based on the Aeroflex 6103 AIME and 6103 AIME/CT mobile handset test systems. It has been designed to address the rapidly emerging development and conformance test requirements for A-GPS-based mobile handsets by testing A-GPS implementation in the laboratory thereby eliminating the need for costly field trials and reducing...
