MEMS pressure sensor shapes weather forecast
The ZPA Series MEMS pressure sensor from Murata is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. This small (2.3 × 2.6 mm) micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensor provides highly accurate pressure readings from 300 to 1,100 hPa, down to 0.016 Pa resolution. The sensor is designed by capacitive sensing technology, which allows the sensor’s ±1.0 hPa absolute accuracy across a wide temperature range (-10 degrees Celsius to +65 d...
Refreshed USB technology site adds Type-C info
A newly designed USB Technology site, created to give engineers easy-to-access information on the latest technical advances in USB Standards has been unveiled by Mouser Electronics. Adding to Mouser’s burgeoning growing selection of Applications & Technologies sites, the USB Technology site provides a wealth of resource material — including a new section devoted to USB Type-C — as well as the newest USB connectors, controlle...
Battery protection IC uses high voltage CMOS process
The new AP9234L battery protection IC from Diodes Incorporated is now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. This single-chip protection solution provides a rich set of protection features for single-cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer rechargeable battery packs in smartphones, cameras, and other electronic equipment.
Resistors enable current sensing in many applications
The LRMAP3920 series is a range of high reliability, low value SMT shunt resistors for current sensing duties from TT Electronics. With values down to 200μΩ and a power rating of 5W on FR4 fibreglass circuit boards, the maximum measurable current is over 150A, and in most cases is restricted only by the current handling of the PCB tracks.
Light to digital converter design eliminates wire bonds
The TSL2584TSV light-to-digital converter (ambient light sensor) from ams is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. At just half the size of similar converter sensors, the TSL2584TSV has a footprint of 1.14 × 1.66 × 0.32mm, enabling designers to add it to thinner wearable products. The sensor’s through-silicon via (TSV) design improves performance by eliminating wire bonds and provides a direct connection from the device’s in...
Ambient light sensors bring energy efficiency
The Si11x3 family of ambient light sensors includes single-chip devices that eliminate the need for a second sensor, offer optimum display visibility, and provide backlight power reduction and energy efficiency. The devices from Silicon Labs, feature dual 23-bit analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs), an integrated high-sensitivity array of photodiodes, and a digital signal processor.
Single board computers come in three models
The Neo single-board computers from UDOO are open-source, low-cost computers available in three models: Basic, Extended, and Full. Each Neo board is equipped with a Freescale i.MX 6 SoloX applications processor with a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 core for Android and Linux, and an embedded ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, which makes the boards compatible with the Arduino environment.
USB Type-C controller helps minimise BOMs
The UTC2000 USB Type-C controller from Microchip Technology is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. This controller chip provides backward compatibility with USB legacy data protocols and standards, allowing designers to cost-effectively add a USB Type-C connector to new or existing products, speeding time to market ad minimising bills of materials (BOM).
Battery management IC targets smart watches, wearables
The bq25120 battery management IC from Texas Instruments is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The bq25120 requires a no-load quiescent current of just 700nA at 1.8V when the buck converter is enabled. The solution supports batteries from 3.6V to 4.65V, and fast charge currents from 5mA to 300mA, allowing wearables and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications to always be on without draining the battery.
