Self-Hold Thermal Cut-Outs
PEPI’s JS series thermal cut-outs combine the benefits of both automatic and manual reset cut-outs, without the disadvantages of either. By incorporating an internal resistor, the self-holding PEPI JS is the same size as the auto-resetting PEPI J, but with a manual-reset function.
1.8V high-speed DUARTS
DT Electronics has made available Exar's family of dual universal asynchronous receiver transmitters (DUARTS) that operate from a 1.62V to 3.63V supply and feature 16, 32 or 64-byte FIFOs. Designated the M-series, each channel of these devices is capable of data rates up to 16 MBps at 3.3V with a 4X sampling clock.
Super-Integrated ARM7-Based Microcontrollers with Full-spec Operation at 3.3Vand 5V
STMicroelectronics has extended its popular STR7 range of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the ARM7TDMI-S core with the introduction of the super-integrated STR750F family. The first general-purpose ARM7 Flash microcontrollers to support full-spec operation at both 3.3V and 5V, the new family delivers 54 MIPS (at 60MHz) performance while providing outstanding low power modes down to 12μA in STOP or 10μA in STANDBY modes, making it idea...
Mid-power Maxi DC-DC converters
Vicor has announced eight mid-power Maxi DC-DC converters to its 24Vdc input family: a 3.3Vout, 200W model and 300W models at 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, and 48Vout. The modules — which incorporate Vicor’s patented low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) topology — are appropriate for industrial or process control, distributed power, medical, ATE, communications, defence, and aerospace applications. With switching frequencie...
50W AC/DC external power supplies for medical applications
Augmenting its offering of medical ac/dc power supplies, Power Sources Unlimited has announced the MPU50 Series if 50W AC/DC external power supplies. The compact supply measures only 5.75 x 2.99 x 1.69in and features 4000VAC input to output isolation and safety ground leakage current of 0.1mA at 240VAC. Achieved efficiencies are 83% typical and the operating temperature is 0C to 70C, with derating after 50C.
DAB module combines low-cost and long battery life
Frontier Silicon has announced Venice 5, a low cost DAB module which offers one week’s worth of battery life, when typically DAB modules have lasted only one day. Measuring just 52mm x 40mm and based on its recently launched Kino 2 baseband processor, Venice 5 is designed for next generation DAB home audio products such as kitchen and clock radios, CD audio systems and hi-fi tuner systems.
1U high Front Ends can be used alone or rack mounted to give up to 7500W
Powersolve, the leading power solutions specialist company, announces the ROAL Electronics RHPS front-end power supply range. Available in both 12 and 48V output versions, the new power sources have been designed for use in distributed power architectures to power high-density DC/DC modules and Point of Load converters (PoLs). As such, they will satisfy a wide range of applications in IT, telecoms, networking and broadcast systems.
Relays catalogue includes easy selection guide
Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, the latest Hongfa relay catalogue showcases the complete range of relays from this high quality manufacturer. Literally packed with information, the catalogue is a great help for designers, specifiers and buyers who need to quickly and easily access information about any relay in the vast Hongfa range.
Adaptive Power Converter Family Boosts Battery Life in CDMA/WCDMA Phones
Semtech has announced the SC250 and SC251, the first members of a DC/DC step-down power converter family designed to improve battery life by providing adaptive DC power control in CDMA and WCDMA handsets.
Flash microcontroller from Renesas will enable next generation motor drives
Renesas has introduced the SH7211F, what it says is the fastest general purpose flash microcontroller to date. Featuring two banks of Renesas’ leading-edge MONOS flash that is at least twice as fast as its closest competitor, the device is ideal for use in ‘next generation’ motor drives and many other high performance industrial systems requiring excellent real-time-behaviour, as well as general purpose applications. MONOS, by the way stan...
