Flexible Rotor Telemetry for Torque Measurements
The telemetry system J1 from CAESAR DataSystems is a rugged system for collecting dynamic measurements from rotating shafts and machinery in research, testing, marine and vehicle development applications.
Industrial cabinet outlet speeds installation of Ethernet cabling
HARTING has introduced an industrial cabinet outlet that is designed to speed the installation of industrial Ethernet cabling. Featuring a compact form-factor, the module is especially suitable for space-saving assembly in switch cabinets or other items of network distribution equipment. The new unit incorporates two fully screened Category 6 RJ45 outlets, which can be connected via patch cables to active components, other nodes or end-user devic...
Dual full-bridge motor driver IC drives two DC motors
The new A3995 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a DMOS full-bridge motor driver IC designed to control two DC motors at currents of up to 2.4 A and drive voltages of up to 36 V.The new device operates over a logic supply voltage range from 3 to 5.5 V, and incorporates two independent fixed off-time PWM (pulse-width modulation) current regulators that operate in either fast or slow decay mode. The use of fixed off-time PWM current control reduce...
SynQor Signs Trium Power to Resell Product Line in France
SynQor Inc., a power solutions company for DC/DC and AC/DC products within the Telecom, Medical and Industrial marketplaces, announced today that it has signed a non-exclusive distribution contract with Trium Power of Dourdan France.
Integrated power supply control IC Delivers Up to 280% Peak Power
Power Integrations has introduced the TinySwitch-PK integrated power supply control IC with peak power mode. TinySwitch-PK delivers up to 280 percent peak power for short periods of time, enabling designers to specify transformers rated for the continuous power level, significantly reducing size, weight and cost of designs. With its high level of integration and robust feature set, TinySwitch-PK enables simple, flexible designs with far fewer com...
High capacitance radial and axial leaded MLCCs
AVX Corporation has developed new radial and axial leaded multilayer ceramic capacitors that offer high capacitance levels of up to 1.0microF at 50V and 100V in SR21 radial and 3.3microF at 10V in an SA10 axial configuration. New SkyCap series radial leaded ceramic capacitors are an extension of the existing SR21 family, which provide increased efficiency by allowing very high capacitances at around half the previously available package volume. S...
Capacitor arrays resist cracking
Now available from AVX Corporation are capacitor arrays featuring FLEXITERM soft termination. Like standard and multi layer ceramic capacitors, arrays will crack under excessive board flexure. However, FLEXITERM arrays can withstand over twice the PCB deflection of standard MLC devices without cracking.
Integrated cell balancing and overcurrent protection ICs for multi-cell Li-ion battery packs
Intersil Corporation has announced the release of the single-chip ISL9208 and ISL9216/17 chipset solution – said to be the industry’s first integrated analogue front ends for cell balancing and overcurrent protection in multi-cell Li-ion battery packs. These devices can replace up to 17 FETs, 12 diodes, 53 resistors and 31 capacitors in some designs, and will simplify designs for multi-cell battery powered packs for applications ranging from ...
Single Supply Undervoltage and Overvoltage Monitor
Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2912, a single undervoltage and overvoltage monitor for space-conscious applications. Housed in a tiny 3mm x 2mm DFN package, the voltage monitoring inputs of the LTC2912 include filtering to reject brief glitches, thus ensuring reliable reset operation without false or noisy triggering. Programmed by external resistors, the UV and OV trip thresholds have a guaranteed ±1.5% threshold accuracy of monitored ...
