Synplicity has announced the expansion of its ESL software offering. Following the company's strategy of delivering technology-independent solutions, the new Synplify DSP ASIC Edition software allows users to automatically develop high-quality RTL code from designs specified at the algorithm level for implementation into either an FPGA or ASIC device.

Strategic Test Corporation has announced Windows Vista 64-bit and 32-bit drivers for their range of Digitizer, AWG, fast Digital I/O and Digital Pattern Generator cards. The drivers are compatible with all of the 150 PCI, PXI and CompactPCI cards in the UltraFast series. The Windows Vista drivers are supplied at no cost and can be downloaded by existing customers from the company website. The same simple programming concept found in the other W...

Texas Instruments has introduced a new family of two- and four-channel 12- and 14-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) featuring high speed, low power and high performance housed in tiny 9-mm x 9-mm packages. This pin-compatible family offers designers an easy upgrade path with a range of resolutions, speed and performance options tailored to meet the requirements of advanced communications, radar and imaging, test and measurement, medical, an...

The latest electronically controlled DC loads from Zentro Elektrik have an output power up to 250 or 500W. They are built using the latest MOS technology and at 0.35 VDC to 160 VDC they offer a wide range of load voltage. As a result, they can be used in a variety of applications from fuel cells to use on test benches.

Power-One has introduced the 25A YV12T25 POL converter. This robustly-designed programmable product delivers 0.8 to 5.5VDC from a 10 to 14VDC input, eliminating the need for multiple host-system circuit-pack designs, and reducing the number of part numbers needed in inventory for board-level point-of-load applications. Efficiencies exceeding 94%, combined with advanced thermal management techniques, facilitate operation over a -40°C to 85°...

JAE Europe has introduced the SF9 series tray-type SIM card connector with 1.8mm mounted height, allowing designers to achieve ultra-slim designs for cellular phones and other mobile terminals that require user-identification capabilities. The SF9 series also introduces a special multi-functional hold-down design that prevents instantaneous interruption of contact in the event of falling, and also integrates ESD and EMI protection. In addition to...

XP Energy Systems Ltd announces a key addition to its industry leading range of uninterruptible power supply systems designed for use in a variety of applications where constant, reliable power is an essential requirement. The Xi1500L CE is the latest model to join XP Energy Systems’ established Xi Series which includes models rated from 1 to 6kVA. Like other models in the Series, the new power system can be rack mounted, free standing or stac...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4096/X standalone dual-input linear battery chargers. These devices charge single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer batteries from wall adapter or USB power sources. The LTC4096/X use a constant-current/constant-voltage algorithm for charging, with programmable charge current up to 1.2A from a wall adapter supply or up to 1A from a USB supply while automatically sensing the presence of voltage at each input. Applications...

Power Sources Unlimited has released a product line of desktop power adapters that are in compliance with California Energy Commission Tier 2 criteria and Energy Star Level IV standards for external switching power supplies. These two standards are the more stringent efficiency and no-load power consumption requirements which are due to go into effect on July 1, 2008.

Keithley Instruments has announced the availability of its Nanotechnology Measurement Handbook, a 124-page guide to electrical measurements for nanoscience applications. The handbook offers practical assistance in making precision low level DC and pulse measurements on nanomaterials and devices and provides an overview of the theoretical and practical considerations involved in measuring low currents, high resistances, low voltages, and low re...
