Compact surface mount capacitors for low-profile power supplies
A series of surface mount, Y1 safety certified ceramic capacitors for low-profile power supplies has been launched by Murata. The DK1capacitors are useful for any AC/DC switching power supply where a low-profile is needed for use in compact AV equipment, LED illumination, or 1U rack mounted equipment. Safety certified capacitors are deployed at the input side of a power supply line in order to suppress noise that builds up primarily in commercial...
EU programme develops new ceramic dielectrics
A project under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme has been completed by the Knowles Capacitors R&D unit based in Norwich, England, together with the UK’s National Physical Laboratory and Euro Support Advanced Materials of the Netherlands. The programme was to develop a lead-free ceramic dielectric, with high energy density and reduced losses, for high temperature applications.
Wideband GaN PA offers high performance & compact design
Analog Devices has introduced a wideband gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier that offers best-in-class performance within a compact design. Covering the 300MHz to 6GHz spectrum, the highly integrated HMC8205 provides significant benefits for system designers of applications such as wireless infrastructure, radar, public mobile radio, and general-purpose amplification test equipment that require pulse or continuous wave (CW) support.
BLE ver.4.2 ICs offer enhanced security & low current consumption
Toshiba has announced the launch of two ICs supporting Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) ver.4.2 communications, that match industry leading low current consumption realised by previous products while offering an enhanced security function. Like previous products, the TC3567CFSG and TC3567DFSG realise a peak current consumption of 3.3mA at 3V voltage supply in transmission mode by adopting a highly efficient DC/DC converter and original low-power circuit...
German distributors post record Q1 sales
Component distributors in Germany have enjoyed a cracking start to 2017. Following a mediocre 2016, sales by companies registered with the Fachverband Bauelemente Distribution (FBDi e.V.) in Germany grew 6.3% to reach 907m euros during the first quarter - a record result. The prospects for the upcoming quarters are even more promising, as orders have jumped 20% to over 1bn euros. The book-to-bill rate was 1.11.
2017 TIE+ PCB Design Simulation Contest
Computer Simulation Technology (CST) has added its congratulations to Radu Voina of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, the winner of the Interconnection Techniques in Electronics (TIE) contest, held at the “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania. As a platinum sponsor of the contest, CST will provide a free one-year license of CST STUDIO SUITE to the winner’s institute.
RF/Microwave solutions to be showcased by AXV at IMS 2017
AVX Corporation will beshowcasing its vast portfolio of high performance RF and microwave solutions at this year’s IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2017), which is taking place this week, 4th-9th June, in Honolulu.
Differential amplifier delivers up to +50dBm OIP3
Analog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology, has announced the LTC6432-15, a wideband fully differential amplifier with 15dB gain, offering linearity of up to +50.3dBm OIP3 (output third-order intercept), very high OP1dB (output 1dB compression point) of +22.7dBm, and 3.2dB noise figure at 150MHz. In addition to its outstanding signal-to-noise at high frequencies, it maintains its dynamic range performance even at lower frequencies.
Polymer capacitors address mission critical applications
Global supplier of electronic components,KEMET, has announced the release of its T583 polymer electrolytic capacitors for space applications. KEMET's T583 Space Grade series is designed for mission critical, high capacitance and high ripple current applications. The new devices, manufactured at KEMET’s facilities in Europe, are suitable for communications, industrial, space, defence and aerospace applications.
Power modules aimed at designers of laser systems
Primarily aimed at designers of laser systems using intense pulsed light (IPL) such as hair removal treatment, photo-rejuvenation, and dermatological treatments,Luso Electronics announces availability of a new cost-effective range of power modules with a wide low voltage trim range which are optimised to overcome the typical start-up problems associated with switching into a discharged capacitor.
