Mixed Signal/Analog
GaN-on-SiC transistors zero in on IFF applications
The QPD1025L gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon carbide (SiC) transistors from Qorvo are available at Mouser Electronics. Operating with 1.8kW at 65V, the devices deliver high signal integrity and extended reach essential for L-band avionics and identification friend or foe (IFF) applications.
Scientists improve tracking capabilities with signal processing
Target Detection will receive a vital boost thanks to pioneering signal processing research. A new method for processing signals to find and track difficult-to-detect targets has been developed by a consortium of scientists led by Professor Jonathon Chambers from the University of Leicester’s Department of Engineering.
Real time clock extends battery life of connected devices by 50%
EM Microelectronic has announced the release of its EM3028 Extreme low power Real-Time Clock (RTC) module, setting a new industry benchmark for accuracy and power consumption.
Mixed signal oscilloscopes feature 25MHz function generator
Designer and manufacturer of test and measurement instruments, B&K Precision has announced their latest digital oscilloscope 2560 Series with DSO and MSO models.
Microphones use dual-backplate MEMS technology
The IM69D120 and IM69D130 XENSIV MEMS microphones from Infineon Technologies are available at Mouser Electronics. The high-performance, low-noise microphones are ideal for applications such as high-quality audio capture, voice user interface, active noise cancellation, or audio pattern detection in monitoring systems.
General purpose digitisers can now perform up to 50% faster
Spectrum Instrumentation has announced the addition of five new models to its general purpose M2p.59xx series of PCIe 16-bit digitiser cards. The new versions extend the performance range by increasing the maximum sampling rate from 80 up to 125MS/s. The increased sampling rate, together with higher overall bandwidth, enables the new cards to capture a wider range of electronic signals.
Digital control meets intelligent analogue to streamline design
Whether it’s used as an initial introduction into embedded development, the main controller of a connected application or as an attach component to offload tasks from a larger system, the role of the 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) continues to expand.
Digital process meters feature fully adjustable analogue inputs
DATEL has announced the introduction of the PM-35LC-ADV series, a new line of Digital Panel Meters with four user-selectable annunciators for displaying Volts ('V'); Amps ('A'); kilowatts ('kW'); or Power Factor ('PF'). Optional models can be configured to display degrees Celsius ('°C') or Fahrenheit ('°F'); pounds per square inch ('PSI'); or percent ('%').
Clock oscillators boast high stability
The Kyocera Z series consists of three new surface mount type clock oscillators. They offer high stability combined with low current consumption. The oscillators are available with a very short lead-time at www.rutronik24.comas of now. The central concept of the Z series is easy to use, easy to get.
Compact solution for industrial monitoring applications
Developer and manufacturer of Linux-ready ARM embedded industrial computers, Artila Electronics has announced its RIO-2017PG, the high performance, compact remote I/O modules interface with up to eight isolated A/I channels.
