Capacitance-to-digital controller provides accurate measurement and improved responsiveness for user interface controls
Analog Devices’ new capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) is a highly integrated touch controller that allows designers to quickly and easily add responsive user controls, such as scroll wheels and touch pads, to portable electronic devices. As the newest addition to Analog Devices’ family of CapTouch controllers for consumer applications, the AD7147 provides highly accurate measurement and responsiveness, and features the addition o...
DC Input Front Ends Utilize the same packaging and backplane connectors as AC Input Solutions
Power-One has introduced its DC input SFD550-12BG DPA/IBA front end. This 12Vout product utilizes the same packaging and backplane connectors as Power-One’s SFP450 and SFP650 front ends, providing customers with DC-input solutions that do not require any redesign of their existing AC-input racks or backplane connectors.
Die-Cast Aluminium Hand-Held Enclosures
ROLEC has launched its IP 66 ‘handCASE’ enclosures which are fully styled hand-held enclosures made from die-cast aluminium rather than ABS plastic. As a result, these enclosures are robust, and offer a high degree of EMC protection as standard. However, they are also ergonomically styled and offer an equally attractive design to other plastic enclosures on the market.
+125°C automotive FRAM memory from Ramtron
Ramtron has expanded its line of FRAM Grade 1 automotive memory products with the qualification of an additional serial FRAM device to operate at +125 degrees Celsius (C). The FM25CL64-GA – a 3-volt, 64-kilobit (Kb) FRAM with a high-speed serial peripheral interface (SPI) – is now Grade 1 AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications under the hood, as well as many others in the passenger cab. In tandem with the product...
STM's latest family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers is Powered by ARM Cortex-M3 Core
STMicroelectronics has announced a new family of 32-bit Flash Microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M3 core - a core with features specifically designed for embedded applications requiring a combination of high performance (1.25 Dhrystone MIPS/MHz), low power and low cost. The STM32 family benefits from the Cortex-M3’s many new architectural enhancements including the Thumb-2 instruction set to deliver improved performance combined with bett...
Motion sensor allows full-range, multi-axis inertial sensing
Analog Devices has extended its award-winning iSensorT intelligent sensor product family with an advanced motion sensor that for the first time allows industrial designers to easily and cost-effectively equip their products with full-range, multi-axis inertial sensing. Leveraging Analog Devices' iMEMS Motion Signal Processing TechnologyT, the ADIS16355 inertial measurement unit (IMU) delivers performance and functionality previously reserved for ...
I2C, 24-Bit, 16-Channel Delta-Sigma ADC
Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2499, a 16-channel delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that communicates via an I2C-compatible serial interface and includes a unique analog input architecture. The LTC2499's Easy Drive™ front-end design results in zero average differential input current, allowing measurements of high impedance input sources without the use of an internal buffer. This patented sampling scheme simplifies the desi...
INTEGRITY Workstation Support for Intel Virtualization Technology announced by Green Hills
Green Hills Software has announced the availability of enhancements to INTEGRITY Workstation to support Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled processors and chipsets. The INTEGRITY Workstation is based on the secure and safety-certified INTEGRITY operating system, and uses Green Hills Software’s Padded Cell virtual machine technology to provide an operating environment that supports high criticality applications alongside traditional, unmodi...
1.5A Buck Converter Provides High Efficiency, Simplicity and Convenience
Semtech has announced the SC196 and SC196A, two new 1.5A DC-DC step-down (buck) regulators. Both devices feature high efficiency due to low quiescent current and power save modes to target the lower voltage levels needed for next-generation portable device designs. The SC196 uses external feedback to allow the output voltage to be set anywhere between 1.0V and the input voltage for ultimate design flexibility. The SC196A uses two programming pins...
