Microchip has broadened its portfolio of zero-drift operational amplifiers with the debut of the MCP6V11 and MCP6V31 single amplifiers. Operating with a single supply voltage as low as 1.6V and a quiescent current as low as 7.5 µA, these ultra-high-performance devices offer some of the industry’s lowest quiescent current for the given bandwidth without sacrificing the optimal performance essential for portable applications in the cons...

OmniVision Technologies, Inc. today announced the OV12830, a 12.7-megapixel CameraChip sensor designed specifically to meet the high quality image and video recording standards of next generation high-end smartphones and tablets.

Posifa Microsystems, Inc. today unveiled its new line of Low-flow Mass Air Flow Sensor. The PMF2000 family, which incorporates the latest MEMS and microelectronics innovations, eliminates the field failures associated with pressure shock, humidity and contamination that have for years plagued other manufacturers.

ETLG Inertial Aerosystems announce a new Integrated Pressure Sensor providing a high level millivolt output with excellent stability. The sensor is directed towards Original Equipment Manufacturers and other designers who require a compact, high performance pressure sensor element as part of their design.

Texas Instruments Incorporated today introduced a fully integrated, programmable solution for driving ultrasonic transducers in automotive park distance, blind-spot detection or similar object detection applications. With its highly configurable burst generator, low-noise amplifier and 12-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the PGA450-Q1 provides for processing the echo signals and calculating the distan...

OmniVision Technologies, Inc. today introduced the OV2722, the Company’s second-generation native 1080p high-definition CMOS image sensor, designed specifically for ultra-portable applications where high performance and low profile are critical.

Plessey Semiconductors announced today the release of the PS25451, an ultra-low cost version of its award winning EPIC sensor that provides remote sensing for high volume consumer markets. A novel electrode design has been devised to replace the expensive titanium dioxide electrodes currently used for the higher end, medical applications of EPIC technology.

The MLX90364 Triaxis is a high accuracy linear and angular position sensor, from Melexis, which eliminates need for inclusion of a printed circuit board (PCB) within sensing modules. This device is based on a dual mold package construction, which integrates a 12-bit resolution position sensing die together with the decoupling capacitors necessary to meet the strenuous electro-static discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic compliance (EMC) requirement...

OmniVision Technologies, Inc. today announced the OV16820 and OV16825, two 16-megapixel CameraChip sensor that support 16-megapixel burst photography and can capture 4K2K video, or Quad Full High Definition, at 60 frames per second.

ETLG Ltd (Inertial Aerosystems) introduces the latest member to the magnetics family, the Honeywell HMC5983, available Q4 2011. The HMC5983 is a temperature compensated three-axis integrated circuit e-compass designed for low-field magnetic sensing for a wide range of applications, including mobile phones, tablets, netbooks, automotive navigation systems and personal navigation devices.
