Miniature LED driver can drive up to 16 high power LEDs
Operating from a 6V to 60V input supply and achieving up to 95% efficiency, the ZXLD1362 from Zetex Semiconductors can drive up to 16 high power LEDs with an adjustable output current of up to 1A. Provided in the tiny TSOT23-5 package, this LED driver is the smallest of its kind in its current rating, with a maximum footprint of 2.8mm x 2.9mm and off-board height of 1mm.
CAD Models Speed Custom Interconnect Design
Omnetics, the leading manufacturer of miniature high rel connectors, has announced that 3D CAD files of its interconnect components are downloadable from its website www.omnetics.com, enabling designers to quickly and simply develop custom interconnect solutions based on the company’s ultra-reliable miniature connector technology.
Green Hills Software Announces New EEMBC Benchmark Scores
Green Hills Software has announced that its optimizing compilers for the Power Architecture were used by both Freescale and IBM for certified, published Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) benchmark scores on the MPC8641D and PowerPC 750CL microprocessors. Green Hills compilers have been chosen by microprocessor manufacturers four times more often than other compilers to produce EEMBC published benchmark scores for 32-bit process...
Compact UPS Has Three Year Battery Life
Following its appointment as UK distributor for UPS products from AEG Power Systems, ThePowerSupplyShop.Co.UK announce the availability of the Protect 1 true online UPS product range. The Protect 1 series is a double conversion UPS with a low noise, true sine wave output with digital signal control and N+X technology for parallel redundancy operation or increased power levels.
Ceramic resonators target contactless payment technology
To meet the fast growing and high potential demand in the converging consumer/communications/IT sector, Murata has announced a number of innovative extensions to its CSTCE range of Ceralock ceramic resonators. Designed to operate as clock oscillators or timing control circuits for microprocessor based equipment, ceramic oscillators are increasingly replacing quartz crystal devices due to their smaller size and built in load capacitance. Operati...
