High-Voltage IC for Resonant Half-Bridge Topology
STMicroelectronics has introduced an advanced double-ended controller specifically designed for the series-resonant half-bridge topology. The new-generation high-voltage IC is said to guarantee excellent performance, allowing the design of fully protected and highly reliable power supplies that are particularly suited for use in applications such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Plasma Display Panel (PDP) TVs, high-end AC-DC adapters for lapto...
Variable-gain amplifier claims to deliver the highest gain and bandwidth
Analog Devices has introduced a dc-coupled VGA (variable-gain amplifier) that delivers the industry's highest gain and bandwidth. The AD8336 is also the only VGA that supports an extended industrial temperature range of -55 degrees C to 125 degrees C and a wide power supply range from +/-3 V to +/-12 V - the voltage range used in industrial and instrumentation applications such as industrial process control, high-performance automatic-gain contro...
Software for Design of Electric Motors
Infolytica Corporation has announced that MotorSolve, the newest addition to its industry leading software family, will be released in the third quarter of 2006. The package will offer an accurate FEA-based design environment which focuses exclusively on electric motors.
50mm square blower moves a lot of air
Designed to keep the air moving in a confined space, the new ODB5009 blower from Solid State Supplies is only 50mm square and 9mm deep yet moves three cubic feet of air per minute. Designed to provide directional airflow, the device is ideally suited to spot cooling applications.
Ultra Low Power SBC for embedded industrial applications
Designed specifically for embedded applications using ultra-low power and boasting an overall power consumption of just 4W, the new DSL-800LX from Datasound Laboratories has all the features required from a high performance computer.
Fully Integrated Filter Front End Module For GPS-Equipped Dual-Band CDMA Handsets
Avago Technologies has announced what it says is the first module to combine five individual FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) filters to produce a totally passive solution for dual-band cellular communications with GPS. The ACFM-7101 quintplexer module directs PCS and cellular signals from the same antenna without the use of switches and control logic, eliminating the cost and electrical loss of the switch, as well as routing and matching loss...
Gyroscope enhances GPS performance
Melexis has entered the market for accurate GPS position sensing with its angular rate sensor or gyroscope. The MLX90609-N2 will enhance the accuracy of GPS instruments in situations where satellite reception is lost, for example in tunnels, between tall buildings and mountainous terrain.
0.9V-White LED Driver Requires Just One External Component
PREMA has introduced a white LED driver designed for a variety of applications. The core of the new driver PR4401 consists of a step-up converter with current output, that provides an output voltage of typically 3.6V for white LEDs. The input voltage can be as low as 0.9V, thus allowing a single cell battery operation.
Fuseholders provide cost-effective protection
Now in stock at Aerco is a new range of high quality fuseholders from Belling Lee designed to provide cost-effective circuit protection for commercial applications up to 30A at 600VAC.
Low-cost Analog Output devices for USB
Measurement Computing has announced three low-cost, 16-bit high-drive analog output USB devices. The USB-3110, USB-3112, and USB-3114 have integrated high-drive voltage outputs, eliminating the need for external high-drive amplifiers. The USB-3100 series’ proprietary architecture virtually eliminates dead-band (unresponsive) codes. In addition, the product line is factory calibrated to be out-of-the-box ready for system deployment.
