High Performance Ceramic Capacitors
Now available from TTI Europe is the SQ series of high-performance, high-Q ceramic capacitors from AVX. Available in P90, NP0 and X7R dielectrics, the SQ series complements the well-established AQ series, introducing an increased level of current handling and lower ESR. They are suited to applications in the 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz frequency range, from radio broadcasting through to microwave communications.
Touch Technology added to LCD Monitor
Elo TouchSystems, a division of Tyco Electronics Corporation, has added its latest acoustic pulse recognition touch technology to the already versatile 1529L 15in LCD multifunction touchmonitor. In addition to APR, the 1529L includes options for an integrated three-track magnetic stripe reader, 2 x 20 vacuum fluorescent rear-facing customer display and a biometric fingerprint recognition device. Typical applications for the 1529L with APR includ...
Dual full-bridge MOSFET driver IC with microstepping translator
The A3986 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a dual full-bridge gate driver IC with integrated microstepping translator circuitry. The device is suitable for driving a wide range of industrial bipolar 2-phase stepper motors in the 30 to 500 W power range. Motor power is provided by external N-channel power MOSFETs at supply voltages from 12 to 50 V.
ADC is designed to increase the portability of patient and industrial monitors
Analog Devices' latest precision PulSAR ADC is designed to increase the portability of patient and industrial monitors and improve the performance and throughput of automated test equipment and data acquisition systems, Analog Devices' AD7980 1-MSPS (mega-sample per second) 16-bit ADC consumes 80 percent less power and board space than the closest competing 16-bit ADC in its class.
Jitter Attenuator with 250MHz Reference Clock
IDT has announced the introduction of a jitter attenuator optimized for the Xilinx Virtex-4 family of FPGAs. Designed to support PCI Express (PCIe), this component is said to be the industry’s first timing device capable of attenuating or “cleaning” the jitter from a 100 MHz PCIe input clock, while translating it to a 250 MHz LVDS output.
Surface-mount D-sub connectors in 9- to 37-position plug and socket variants
TTI Europe is offering a range of next-generation, surface-mount, D-subminiature connectors from Tyco Electronics, based on a new and advanced design.
Semikron introduces IGBT and rectifier modules with new SPT+ chip technology
Lower switching losses coupled with smaller chip sizes Common terminal height for easy bus-bar connection Wide range of IGBT and input rectifier ratings
Low-Voltage Single-Line Protection Devices Protect 3.3, 5 and 12V Systems
Semtech Corp has announced three new, single-line versions of its uClamp protection products designed for portable devices with low voltage levels, starting at 3.3V. The uClamp3301P is designed to protect 3.3V lines, the uClamp0501P is designed to protect 5V lines, and the uClamp1201P is designed to protect 12V lines.
Tiny microwave capacitor delivers the lowest equivalent series resistance in an 0805 case
AVX has just introduced its SQCF microwave capacitor that delivers the lowest Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) in a 0805 case size on the market. SQCF microwave capacitors present an ESR down to 50mOhms at 1GHz and a quality factor (Q) greater than 10,000 at 1MHz. Devices deliver high performance and reliability for base station infrastructure requiring high Q and power handling capability.
Low-cost socketing system for high-end ICs
Expanding on its 2go range, connector manufacturer GTK has released a low cost IC socketing system in the form of the Turned Pin IC socket. The parts, which are RoHS-compliant, are more reliable than conventional stamped and formed pin sockets due to a more robust contact construction. This is said to enable a safe and cost-effective system for socketing expensive ICs or holding the firmware during the debugging phase of a new design.
