Ramtron International has added another 4 kilobit (Kb) F-RAM memory device to its Grade 1 AEC-Q100-qualified automotive product line, growing its number of +125ºC parts to five. The FM25040A-GA – a 4Kb, 5V F-RAM with a high-speed serial peripheral interface (SPI) – is now specified to operate at +125ºC and is guaranteed to retain data for 9,000 hours at that extreme temperature.

Tyco Electronics’ range of die cast backshells includes an innovative design with two cable entries. Particularly suited to daisy chain applications, the backshells form part of the D-subminiature connector family and offer the ideal solution for industrial applications where a BUS style connection is required. To maintain screening integrity at the end of a connection run, or for applications requiring just one cable entry, a blanking plate is...

Rittal has introduced a series of enclosures, the CS Toptec outdoor range, which has been specifically designed to safeguard the internal components from the external environment. Built around a stainless steel frame, based on the leading TS 8 enclosure, the housings are clad with twin walled sides, fastened securely from inside, with double skin doors front and rear for serviceability. The double walled sides and door also provide an effective...

Now available in the UK from Aerco is a range of DC fans from ADDA built in a 70 x70 x 38mm frame size. Previously, this range of fans was only available in a maximum thickness of 25mm and the new size results in over 50% increase in airflow, making the AD0712UB ideal for demanding cooling applications.

Tyco Electronics has announced the addition of new devices to its Raychem brand SiBar thyristor series. These new bi-directional transient voltage surge suppressors include an expanded range of available voltages, and lower capacitance to help protect high-speed ADSL/VDSL modems, Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet and other high data rate communications equipment from damage from overvoltage events.

A new design and production service from Europe’s leading switch manufacturer, knitter-switch, makes it easy for users to adopt membrane technology for their switching and control applications. The key benefits of membrane technology include reliability, long contact life, easy mounting, custom graphics, custom connection and illumination, and the flexibility to choose materials that offer resistance to environmental conditions such as dust, mo...

A wide range of new high speed analogue products to suit both current and future growth applications are now available from Solid State Supplies who have been appointed by Colorado based Cadeka as their UK representatives. Cadeka is a supplier of high-performance amplifiers, ADC and DAC data converters, hybrid amplifiers, high speed comparators and quality replacement products. The company also offers direct, pin compatible replacements for sever...

Tensilica has announced that it has added an optional full-speed, non-intrusive instruction trace capability to all of its Diamond Standard and Xtensa configurable processor cores. Tensilica's TRAX-PC processor trace capture macrocell is Nexus 5001 compatible and ideal for debugging complex, challenging real-time applications such as engine and motor control. Software control and use of the on-chip TRAX hardware is fully integrated into Tensilica...

Texas Instruments has introduced a tiny, high-voltage boost converter with an integrated 40-V, 1.2-A FET and a wide input-voltage range of 3-V to 18-V. The high-efficiency device supports boost, SEPIC (single-ended primary inductor converter) and flyback topologies, which are used to regulate single or dual Li-Ion battery inputs. Available in a 2 mm x 2 mm QFN package, the converter simplifies design in industrial or medical point-of-load applica...

Texas Instruments has announced the availability of five families of MSP430F2xx high-performance microcontrollers. The new microcontrollers provide a direct upgrade path for corresponding devices in TI’s popular MSP430F1xx generation of ultra-low-power MCUs, easing development and offering complete software and pin compatibility while delivering twice the performance, twice the battery life, and increased memory. MSP430F2xx MCUs enable deve...
