National Instruments, Freescale Semiconductor and Wind River are working together to help engineers simplify embedded design, including industrial control and monitoring, with the release of the latest high-performance, real-time controller for the NI CompactRIO platform. The National Instruments cRIO-9014 controller is based on the Freescale MPC5200 processor built on Power Architecture technology and the Wind River VxWorks real-time operating s...

Schaffner has launched a family of IEC modules. The FN 9263 filter series provides an EMC filter and a mains switch for single-phase switching. Their compact design allows them to be deployed at low cost in devices with limited space. The FN 9263 filter modules are mechanically compatible with the proven FN 9260 series with integrated fuse, and provide excellent symmetrical and asymmetrical attenuation performance.

Catalyst Semiconductor has announced the CAT4004, a new four-channel LDD (low dropout driver) designed for emerging, power-conscious portables where the LEDs are driven directly from the battery. With the migration of white LEDs to lower forward voltages, a number of portable applications are now able to drive LEDs directly from the system battery without the need to boost voltage. The new CAT4004 is designed specifically to meet the needs of t...

Machine designers have been presented with a significant new technology for measuring power in drive shafts and other rotating machine elements, following the launch of the RWT310/320 series of TorqSense Rotary Torque Sensors by developers Sensor Technology Ltd.
