A new low voltage 2 and 4 way link box for connecting and switching underground low voltage cables has recently been introduced by B&H, part of Tyco Electronics - Energy Products division. A patented modular assembly integrates single resin casting, snap-fit terminal cover, diving bell lid, and pit enclosure. This new modular concept significantly reduces the weight and size of the new link boxes, making them easier to install in areas where spac...

Recently expanded to create a broader range of options for design engineers, the 3650 series of chip inductors from Tyco Electronics offers a wide range of inductance values from 1.0nH up to 4.7mH, as required by ever more demanding high frequency applications. The wide value range makes the devices an ideal choice for filtering and signal conditioning in cellular phones, global positioning systems (GPS), digital TV tuners, cordless telephones, W...

STMicroelectronics has announced a USB software Developer Kit for the STR7 and STR9 microcontroller families that will greatly simplify the implementation of embedded software to handle the relatively complex USB interface standard. USB is now very widely used in embedded systems, due to both its flexibility and simplicity for the user and also the availability of high-performance MCUs with integrated USB modules.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4080, a multi-function IC featuring a standalone linear battery charger and a highly-efficient synchronous buck converter. The USB-compatible battery charger can charge a single-cell Li-Ion battery up to 500mA without overheating the device or surrounding components. The 300mA buck converter features selectable mode operation and synchronous rectification to achieve efficiencies up to 96%.

TDI is introducing a complete series of environmentally sealed power modules (ESPM). The first modules to be released are the efficient and ruggedized 1000 and 2700W units. These modules are designed to withstand and operate reliably in harsh environments and critical applications. The ESPM series is also electrically hardened to survive severe AC input transients.

Transistor Devices' Dynaload Division has announced the addition of Ethernet communication capabilities to its popular RBL, MCL and WCL series of programmable electronic loads.

Transistor Devices (TDI) has introduced its Signature 1000W, 1U Power Module providing -54VDC for Rectifier applications and +48VDC for Front End architectures. The modules are designed for use in 300mm or mid-plane cabinets by featuring a chassis depth of just 10.63in. They fit three-across in the matching 19in , 1RU power shelf and share up to 3000W per shelf.

Green Hills Software has announced that its mature, industry-leading Platform for Software Defined Radio (SDR) has been significantly enhanced through a broad range of technology integrations and partnerships, resulting in substantial new customer adoption. The Green Hills Platform for SDR continues to deliver support for the broadest range of SDR designs that require options for platform scalability, waveform development and debug, and integrat...

New from Lincoln-based VxI Power is the Studer Compact series of inverter/chargers, which combine the functions of a sine-wave inverter, a battery charger and an automatic transfer system to manage the available power. Designed to provide reliable and silent operation, the inverter/charger connects to an AC mains supply or generator and a 12V, 24V or 48V battery.

Designed to meet NVDC-I requirements for better efficiency and longer battery life, Intersil’s ISL6257 is a narrow VDC (voltage direct current) charger controller for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries in notebook computers. The device is the only NVDC-I charger on the market that is optimised for this application, allowing customers to run laptops at much lower battery voltages, providing better efficiency, longer battery life and improved therm...
