National Instruments has announced PCI versions of two popular high-speed and high-density digitisers/oscilloscopes, extending the company’s high-speed PCI offering to 2 GS/s and low-cost PCI offering to £330 or €475 per channel. The National Instruments PCI-5152 general-purpose digitiser converts a desktop PC into a full-featured oscilloscope. It offers a 2 GS/s real-time sampling rate on one channel or a 1 GS/s real-time sampling rate on ...

Jennic says it has achieved a new price point for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 nodes with the introduction of a low-cost reference design for its JN5139 wireless microcontroller which reduces the volume bill of materials (BOM) cost of modules for wireless sensor networks to well under $5. This includes the cost of the Jennic JN5139 wireless microcontroller, a high performance PCB antenna design, and all other ancillary components.

Schaefer's latest pure sine wave inverter products now includes a 2KVA model packaged in a 1U rackmount design. Highly efficient and reliable, the pure sine wave output of the AEP-A2000R Series offers benefits over modified or quasi-sine wave units by delivering “clean” output power for powering sensitive loads and for improving AC equipment performance.

Microchip has announced its MCP7381X Li-Ion/Li-Polymer charge-management controllers. Offering programmable charge currents up to 500 mA, they feature integrated current sense, integrated pass transistor, thermal regulation and reverse battery protection, all in a 5-pin SOT-23 package.

Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's lowest input voltage DC/DC boost converter, which will enable portable electronic end-equipment to draw power from new energy sources, such as solar and micro-fuel cells. The tiny power circuit can operate with input voltages lower than 0.3 V with high efficiency, allowing designers to overcome the low-voltage design barrier of incorporating these alternative energy sources in applications, such as ...

Available from Digital Displays with either green or yellow pixels, the new OSD2401-M04-1 offers extended operational lifetimes of up to 55k hours with 75 cd/m2 brightness for the Yellow version at 25 degrees C.

ByteTools and Tensilica have announced that ByteTools’ Catapult JTAG probes are available for Tensilica’s Diamond Standard and Xtensa configurable processors. The high-performance, low-cost Catapult devices work out-of-the-box with Tensilica’s software development tools, meaning that users need not install any additional software. Catapult probes interface to the standard XOCD 14-pin JTAG header, with Catapult EJ-1 offering an Ethernet ho...

Vero Technologies has acquired all the moulded enclosure and card guide standard product lines from APW in administration, and manufacturing of all items has recommenced from the original tooling, guaranteeing continuity of supply. Such well know brand names as Veronex, IDAS, Apollo, General Purpose Box, Patina and many others are back in full scale production, enabling companies who had specified the products as the housing for their equipment ...

Excelsys Technologies now offers its customers the ability to configure their own application specific power supplies online and purchase from their nearest authorised distributor. A simple wizard guides customers through setting the required output voltage and current needs. It allows selection of options such as, power fail signal, remote inhibit and enable, a standby +5VDC supply, thermal control signals, reverse fan direction and medical saf...

Aeroflex has announced the enhancement of the TETRA test functionality available for the Aeroflex 3900 TETRA Digital Radio Test Set with the launch of TETRALOG Protocol Analyzer, a PC-based protocol capture and analysis application that enables capture and detailed analysis of mobile protocol transactions. Primarily aimed at the protocol development of TETRA radios, TETRALOG is also an ideal verification/evaluation tool for TETRA mobile developer...
