Measurement Computing Corporation has announced the release of two new counter/timer devices for the USB bus. The USB-4301 is a 5-channel, 16-bit counter/timer with one 8-bit dedicated input port, and one 8-bit dedicated output port. It is based on the powerful 9513 series chip. The USB-4303 is a 10-channel version, based on two 9513 series chips. The new products emulate Measurement Computing’s reliable PCI-CTR05 and PCI-CTR10 counter/timer cl...

Schaefer's range of pure sine wave inverter products now includes what is said to be the only 2KVA product in the market that is packaged in a slim, 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.

Rapid Electronics has expanded its range of ST linear ICs and discrete devices with the introduction of a brand new range of IGBTs, increased coverage of surface mount package options and additions to its MOSFET ranges.

Texas Instruments has introduced a family of six-channel power management ICs for single-cell, lithium-powered portable electronics. Combining high-performance power building blocks in a single 4 mm x 4 mm package, the easy-to-design devices support power system requirements of advanced application processors used in smart phones, portable media players, navigation systems and other electronics.

Keithley Instruments has published Parallel Test Technology: The New Paradigm for Parametric Testing, a semiconductor parametric test handbook. The 60-page handbook offers an overview of the emerging test technique known as parallel parametric testing, a strategy for wafer-level parametric testing that uses concurrent execution of multiple tests on multiple scribe line test structures and helps semiconductor fabs maximize their test throughput a...

Synplicity, Inc. has announced its Certify ASIC RTL prototyping software delivers optimal support for the Xilinx Virtex-5 family of 65-nanometer FPGAs. The Certify software is the leading product for ASIC prototyping using multiple FPGAs. By combining multi-chip partitioning with best-in-class FPGA synthesis, the Certify tool allows designers to take full advantage of the speed, versatility and ultra-high capacity of Xilinx Virtex-5 devices for ...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC3872, a current mode step-up DC/DC controller with 550kHz operating frequency. The LTC3872 does not require a sense resistor, saving board space and improving efficiency. This is a compact solution for converting a 2.5V to 9.8V input voltage up to a high output voltage. VOUT as high as 60V is achievable without a sense resistor, and when a sense resistor is used, the output voltage is limited only by extern...

Awind Inc. and STMicroelectronics have announced “Wireless Presentation System for Windows Vista,” a Windows Embedded CE 6.0-based reference design that aims to fuel the Wireless Networked Projector and Adaptor market. Jointly developed by STMicroelectronics and Awind, the reference design delivers to OEM customers a projector platform with excellent performance.

The Cropico DO4A is a highly versatile digital ohmmeter used for low resistance measurement across a diverse range of electronic design and manufacturing applications. Of particular relevance is the instrument’s role in the precision resistance measurement of electronic components and switches as well as electrical connectors, crimp joints, fuses and similar products.

Clare Instruments has developed a new hi-pot flash tester and scanner for the functional and quality validation of a wide range of electronic components. The microprocessor controlled H2 Hal Scan can be used to confirm the safety, integrity and performance of semiconductor devices, interconnections, wound components (including transformers), switches and similar devices used in the manufacture and assembly of electronic and electrical products.
