Low-Cost Miniature Slide Switches for Industrial and Medical Systems
knitter-switch has announced the MSS 3000 Series of miniature slide switches. These are high quality, low cost switches designed for industrial and medical systems applications and will prove an ideal replacement for models recently discontinued by Tyco. Featuring a very stable construction, the new slide switch in a variety of formats for maximum applications flexibility. The MSS 3000 is available with one or two poles, top or side and raised o...
3MHz/600mA Synchronous Buck Converter
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced the FAN5350, a revolutionary 3MHz/600mA DC/DC synchronous buck converter featuring 16µA quiescent current, 20mV transient response and low-voltage ripple. Designed to power DSP core processors, application processors and I/O interfaces, the FAN5350 utilizes Fairchild’s proprietary new ultra-fast architecture that is specifically designed to simultaneously provide industry-leading quiescent current and tra...
Connector module for power transmission in motor applications
HARTING has added a new power-transmission module to its Han-Modular industrial connector system. The new Han CD module is ideally suited to use with 3-phase motors and servomotors. The Han CD module incorporates three Han C power contacts (rated at 40A each) and four Han D signal contacts (rated at 10 A each), all with crimp termination. It is suitable for power transmission on three-phase motors where additional signal contacts are required - ...
VDSL2 line driver in 4mm x 5mm QFN package is a first says Intersil
Intersil has introduced the ISL1539, the latest addition to its family of line drivers featuring low power, very small footprint and extremely good linearity. The ISL1539 is the first monolithic, dual port, DSL line driver for 100 Mbps VDSL2 Central Office (CO) applications. The ISL1539 uses proprietary circuitry to achieve low distortion, high capacitance drive and less than 910mW/port total power consumption while delivering 20.5dBm output pow...
Compact desktop case has integrated ventilation facility
The new ratiopacPRO-air compact case from Schroff has been designed to provide a robust, EMC-shielded enclosure that is particularly well suited to applications in the instrumentation sector. Featuring ventilation slots on either side of the card cage, the case ensures optimum airflow over plug-in units to aid the thermal management of high-density electronics.
1.5MHz, 25V Dual Step-Down DC/DC Converter
Linear Technology has announced the LT3501, a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with two internal 3.5A power switches packaged in a 20-lead TSSOP-20E package. Each channel is capable of delivering up to 3A of continuous output current at efficiencies up to 88%. Independent input voltage, feedback, soft-start and power good pins for each channel simplify complex power supply tracking and sequencing requirements. Its wide input range ...
Power-One Joins Distributed Open Standards Alliance
Power-One has announced that it has joined DOSA (Distributed Open Standards Alliance). DOSA was established in February 2004 to develop standards for board-level DC-DC converters to ensure compatibility and facilitate second sourcing for customers.
Atmel micro offers 80 MIPS performance at 40mA from new AVR32 UC core
Nu Horizons announces availability of the AVR32 UC3A, the first microcontroller based on Atmel’s new AVR32 UC core. Delivering 80 Dhrystone MIPS performance while consuming just 40mA from a 3.3V supply at 66MHz clock speed, the devices feature up to 512KB Flash and 64KB RAM, an Ethernet MAC, a USB OTG controller and External Bus Interface (EBI), all of which minimise external component count. The EBI enables easy interfacing to external SRAM an...
Rittal Launch new Hygienic Design ‘HD’ Enclosure Range
Rittal have introduced a new range of enclosures specifically designed to facilitate the constant battle against deposits accumulating on enclosure surfaces, crevices and recesses helping eliminate any potential contaminants, which could negatively impact on customer production.
