Inertial Aerosystems have introduced an enhanced version of their established MTi-G product. This device, manufactured by Netherlands based Xsens Motion Technology, is a MEMS Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) with integrated GPS. The unit provides accurate horizontal and vertical position, velocity and 3D orientation estimates. It incorporates an internal ultra low power signal processor and a real time Kalman filter.

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) has announced the availability of two serial interface converter cables that incorporate transceivers to facilitate connecting RS-422 or RS-485 based peripherals to a PC’s USB port. Using FTDI’s FT232RQ USB to asynchronous serial interface IC, the USB-RS485-WE converter cable includes an RS-485 transceiver while the USB-RS422-WE cable utilises a RS-422 transceiver. The far end of the 1.8m cables ...

System designers who want to reduce space without compromising quality or performance will find the new PDX-057T Micro Panel PC from Datasound Laboratories the ideal solution with no moving parts to affect longevity.

Renesas Technology announced today that it has become a member of the EtherCAT Technology Group, an engineering forum whose aim is to advance the EtherCAT network standard by encouraging its adoption and managing specification development. Originally introduced by Beckhoff, EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based fieldbus standard specifically designed for real-time industrial control and automation applications. It overcomes the process cycle time limitat...

Based on the latest Vortex86DX CPU, the new VDX-6324 from ICOP UK is an embedded ISA slot card providing 800MHz of fanless processing power and an enviable list of features.

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) has announced the USB-COM232-PLUS1 module. The first in its family of USB-COM-PLUS modules, the USB-COM232-PLUS1 is a USB to single channel RS232 level serial UART. The module incorporates FTDI’s FT232RQ IC which handles all the USB signalling and USB to UART protocols. The modules provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a RS232 level serial UART interface ( 9 way standard D-type connect...

Lime Microsystems has announced the availability of LMS6002, a multi-band multi-standard RF transceiver IC designed for femtocells and small cell basestations. The high frequency agile transceiver operates at user-selectable frequencies between 375MHz and 4GHz and is suitable for 3G, WiMAX, and LTE standards. Lime will be demonstrating the LMS6002 transceiver, its first commercially available IC, to selected customers at Mobile World Congress 200...
