16-bit quad voltage-output DAC with six software-programmable output voltage ranges.
Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2704-16, a 16-bit, quad voltage-output DAC with six software-programmable output voltage ranges. Each of the four DACs can be programmed via a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface for one of four bipolar output ranges (±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, or -2.5 to 7.5V) or one of two unipolar output ranges (0V to 5V, or 0V to 10V). The LTC2704-16 offers excellent DC performance of ±2LSB(max) INL and ±1LSB(max) DNL. T...
600W Hot-Swap Front Ends Provide up to Four Main Outputs
Power-One has introduced the HP6 Series of 600W front ends. These AC-DC power supplies provide up to four main outputs, from 0.8 to 12VDC, plus a 5VDC standby output. This multiple-output, hot-swap capability accelerates time to market in networking applications requiring several high-current rail voltages and/or instances where sufficient board space is not available to implement distributed power and intermediate bus architectures.
Pressure distinguishable touch panel
Digital Displays has announced what it says is the the World’s first pressure distinguishable touch panel, the “Pensor”. Using the unique “Pensor” 4 wire resistive touch panel with complementary controller board and OS driver software, the user's palm and the “touch pen” can touch the surface of the touch panel simultaneously. Unlike existing systems the “Pensor” only senses the pressure of the pen, it will not sense the touch...
Super capacitor charger IC with embedded power loop
AnalogicTech has introduced a P-channel current-limited MOSFET power switch for high-side load-switching applications in PC modem cards. Integrating all the circuitry required to limit current, protect the PC card connector, continuously charge the capacitor, and notify the system when it is ready for use, the AAT4620 ensures that a super capacitor - typically used to average out high pulse currents - can be quickly charged without exceeding the...
Ultrafast Digital Pattern Generator PCI boards with up to 32 Gigabit on-board memory
Strategic Test has released four new Digital Pattern Generator boards for PC’s with up to 32 Gigabit memory, maximum clock rates of 40 MHz, 10 MHz or 5 MHz, and a choice of 16- or 32-bit widths. Uniquely, each 4-bit can be programmed with a different HIGH and LOW output level from –2 V to +10 V in 10 mV increments. This output range can generate signals compatible with ECL, PECL, TTL, LVDS, LVTTL, CMOS and LVCMOS. Compared to traditional inst...
USB host and device drivers speed embedded systems development
Now available from Computer Solutions are the Micro Digital range of USB drivers - the smxUSBH USB host stack, the smxUSBD USB device stack and the smxUSBO 'On-The-Go' stack - all of which help embedded developers by providing easy interfacing between their embedded systems and USB. The smxUSBD USB device stack is designed for situations in which a developer wants the embedded application to plug into a PC and exchange data with the PC or to be ...
Fully Integrated 6A, 24V-Input Synchronous Buck Regulator
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced the FAN2106 , the first product in a new family of TinyBuck DC-DC buck regulators that integrate an advanced analog IC, MOSFETs and a boot diode into an ultra-compact molded leadless package (MLP). Measuring only 5mm x 6mm, the FAN2106 is the industry’s smallest 6A, 24V-input integrated synchronous buck regulator on the market today. This highly integrated low-profile, small-footprint device consumes appro...
High Efficiency Full Brick for RF Power Amplifier Applications
SynQor announced the PQ60280FTx26 series of Isolated Full Brick DC/DC Converters, targeting RF Power Amplifier (RFPA) applications within cellular radio infrastructure equipment. In this demanding area, efficiency and reliability are key attributes in which the SynQor module excels, with >94% efficiency at full load, and a calculated MTBF of > 2Mhrs (Telcordia).
110 V Input Supplies for Railway and Transportation Applications
Vicor has announced the introduction of a 110 Vdc input series of 24 models of Maxi, Mini, and Micro DC-DC converters. This new series includes eight standard output voltages (3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, 48 V) in combination with three different package sizes (quarter brick, half brick, full brick) with output power ranging from 50 W up to 400 W, depending on the model.
High Performance EMC Filtered IEC Inlet Modules
Schaffner has launched three new ranges of IEC inlet filter modules. The FN 9222E, FN 9233 and FN 9233E have been added to the proven FN 9222 filter range. They have been developed for applications requiring high attenuation performance or additional attenuation on the earth line. The new FN 9233 and FN 9233E IEC inlet filter modules have been developed for systems or switching power supply units that require a high level of interference suppress...
