Varitronix is addressing automotive dashboard and other control panel applications with a new mono TFT technology that enables advanced, attractive and informative consoles whilst avoiding the complex drive requirements of full colour TFT. Many automotive and industrial instrumentation projects have no requirement for full colour, making monochrome TFT an ideal high performance alternative to DSTN and other passive display technologies. Boasting ...

XP Power has announced the availability of its new Power Supply Guide for 2007/2008. The guide, containing 208 pages, has had a total of 30 new product ranges added since the last edition. It provides detailed information on many aspects of XP Power’s standard product range. AC/DC products range from 5 Watts to 2,400 Watts and include open frame, u-channel, desktop, DIN rail, industrial and medical power supplies. Also included are DC/DC conver...

Keithley Instruments, Inc. has announced a series of enhancements to its Model 2910 RF Vector Signal Generator. The new capabilities included in the Model 2910 V2.0 include additional wireless signal generation waveforms, a new power calibration feature, and increased ARB memory to accommodate more and larger waveforms.

Texas Instruments has introduced a low-phase noise clock generator that provides best-in-class jitter performance at 380 femtoseconds (fs) (rms at 10 kHz to 20 MHz). The device incorporates crystal oscillator (XO) circuitry with a fully-integrated frequency synthesizer supporting a wide output frequency range from 10.9 MHz up to 766.7 MHz and from 875.2 MHz up to 1175 MHz, easing design for customers designing Ethernet, fibre channel, PCI Express...

High performance torque measurement is helping to improve the energy efficiency of domestic washing machines, enabling consumers to make greener purchase decisions. The Eco Rating stickers that provide potential buyers with a clear assessment of white goods' environmental performance now play a major role in retail sales. Manufactures want to achieve the best classification possible, so are redesigning their machines to reduce power consumption.

The first of Bulgin's new range is a compact switch extending less than 21mm behind the panel. These single pole, momentary, push to make switches are rated at 2A, 48Vdc and are capable of 100,000 operations at full load and 1,000,000 mechanical operations. There are three button styles; flush, domed and prominent, and all switch variants have screw terminals. The MP0042 is manufactured in stainless steel with a polished finish. The MP0044 is man...

Texas Instruments has today introduced the industry's smallest low-power, single-channel Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) serializer/deserializer (SerDes) device, enabling higher densities in data communications and telecommunications equipment. The new interface device combines a small 6-mm x 6-mm package with low power consumption at 200 mW to reduce board size and complexity and save power in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON), GbE switches/router...

ViaLogy has announced that it has developed IPv6-capable MicroSPM , compact embedded hardware for high definition video processing applications over IP-converged networks. MicroSPM extends ViaLogy’s SPM software product family by delivering a network-centric hardware policy-engine for fully-autonomous incident-based rapid detection, analysis and response. The MicroSPM platform addresses three major trends within the global surveillance indus...

TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments) has further developed its PSA1301T handheld spectrum analyser to improve specification points such as phase noise, making it an ideal tool for companies making site surveys for UHF RFID applications. The PSA1301T provides installation and maintenance engineers with the tool that they need to ensure that all transmitters are operating correctly within the required limits. Unwanted RF noise and transmissions withi...

Analog Devices has expanded its RF solutions with the introduction of an RF amplifier portfolio of 12 new devices covering the complete RF signal chain. Combined with ADI’s industry-leading power detectors, modulators, demodulators, mixers, and synthesizer products, this offering allows designers to implement complete signal chain solutions using Analog Devices’ high-performance ICs, thereby simplifying the design process, streamlining supp...
