iWave Systems, an expert in hand-held design solutions, has announced it's latest i.MX27 reference design (iW-RainboW-G3) aimed at improving end user productivity. This generic hand-held design is targeted to OEMs, who can adopt the design and bring out innovative and cost effective products for various applications like Portable media player and Indusrial PDAs .

Linear Technology has announced the LTC3547, a dual channel, high efficiency, 2.25 MHz, synchronous buck regulator that delivers up to 300mA of continuous output current per channel from a 3mm x 2mm DFN package. Using a constant frequency current mode architecture, the LTC3547 operates from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for single cell Li-Ion/Polymer, or multicell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH applications.

Texas Instruments has introduced the first product in a new series of precision DACs with an integrated precision reference. The DAC8560 is a 16-bit, single-channel DAC featuring ultra-low glitch (0.15nV-s), ultra-low-power (1.5mW at 2.7V) and an internal reference with 2ppm/C temperature drift and +/-0.004 percent initial accuracy. The combination of a precision DAC and outstanding reference performance makes the DAC8560 a flexible, easy-to-use ...

Vicor has announced the addition of nine mid-power Mini DC-DC converters to its 300Vdc input family: 100 W models at 2 and 3.3 Vout, 150 W models at 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, and 48 Vout. The modules — which incorporate Vicor’s patented low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) —can be used in a variety of applications, including off-line systems with autoranging front ends, industrial and process control, distributed power, ...

Available from MicroPower Direct, the A200RWT series combines miniature size with industrial strength performance. Featuring a wide input voltage range and miniature DIP packaging, this series is specified for operation over operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Twenty single output models operate from wide 2:1 inputs of 4.5 to 9, 9 to 18, 12 to 24, 18 to 36 or 36 to 72 VDC; providing outputs of 5, 9, 12, or 15 VDC.

Now available from MicroPower Direct, the MPA500R series combines 500W of output power with compact size and robust performance. These AC/DC switchers include a universal 90 to 264 VAC input, active power factor correction, full safety approvals and robust filtering. These high performance , industrial power supplies are ideal for a variety of applications requiring compact construction, high power density, and low cost.

Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, Hongfa latching relays require just a short pulse of voltage to change state. As opposed to conventional relays that require a continuous supply of power to remain energised - therefore consuming far more energy - the Hongfa latching relays save energy compared to an equivalent relay, or in the case of the larger sizes, contactors.

Based on the Docking Station product line from Magma Mobility Electronics Inc. the complete test & measurement product line of Spectrum is now mobile. Using one of the available Docking Stations with 1, 2 or 4 slots any of the PC instruments of the M2i series of Spectrum can be plugged-in. This combination allows the use of Digitizers up to 500 MS/s, A/D cards starting with 100 kS/s on 16 synchronous channels, Arbitrary Waveform Generators and Di...

Aeroflex has announced a free software upgrade to its portable 3500 Series Radio Test Set, now with Distance-to-Fault (DTF) measurement and enhanced VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) to quickly and easily find faults in cables and antennas and display results graphically. Other new features available with the software include 0.1Hz resolution for the internal modulation sources enabling the generation of squelch tones, and save and recall of te...
