Variation of the Classic PGIA offers design flexibility
As useful and versatile as instrumentation amplifiers (IAs) are when it comes to interfacing to a transducer, there are constraints that hamper the design of variable gain IAs or programmable gain instrumentation amplifiers (PGIAs), also referred to as software programmable gain amplifiers (SPGAs) in some literature.

Mouser and Lord seal global distribution agreement
Mouser Electronics and LORD Corporation, a manufacturer of advanced adhesives and coatings, as well as vibration and motion control technologies have agreed a global distribution pact.
Measuring strain using low-cost Bluetooth technology
In measuring strain, engineers often feel like they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to wireless data acquisition, with wired setups adding complexity and some fully-fledged cloud setups being time or cost prohibitive. Here Matt Nicholas, Product Design Manager at Mantracourt, has explained how the company’s B24 Bluetooth strain transmitter offers a good balance between wireless functionality and cost.

HBK force sensors for structural testing of excavators
Moving a large mass of material quickly, reliably and safely usually requires the use of hydraulic excavators, mining trucks and material-handling machines at construction sites, scrapyards or ports. However, to ensure that they function reliably and withstand extreme conditions in the long term, Liebherr tests the load-carrying capacity and service life of its machines and components very precisely.
Rugged edge appliance for substation and cyber security
A new component of the PCIe Switch IC is replaced for enhancing the product’s lifespan and to offer improved system performance. As a robust firewall deployed in challenging environments, the rugged edge applianceLEC-6041comes with certifications for CE/FCC Class A, UL/CB, IEC-61850-3, IEEE 1613, EN61131-2 and Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2).
Top 5 sensor products in March
Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top sensor products to have been released in March.
New wireless torque sensor technology
Sensor Technology has launched a new range of non-contact torque sensors based on a full four element strain gauge bridge design, complementing its existing non-contact sensors that use surface acoustic wave (SAW) detection.
Software language accelerates developments in AI, medicine and robotics
The fight against the Coronavirus does not only take place in medical laboratories, but also in computing. Handling the huge amounts of data for vaccine development requires advanced tools: 'Julia', a relatively new software language, has surged in popularity. It delivers comparable speed and functionality to programming in C while also allowing scientific and numerical computing.
The right components to protect devices, users and patients
The use of non-laboratory, patient-contact diagnostic and life-sustaining medical equipment continues to increase. Reasons include an ageing population, heightened care expectations among patients, and improvements in medical electronics technology which make such systems more practical. Such equipment needs protection against multiple types of electrical issues that can harm the equipment, hospital staff, and patients. Rich Miron, Applications E...
