Demand creation at RS Components lands Panasonic Industrial award
Double-digit sales growth and more than 7x expansion of stock profile made 2010 the most successful year for the RS – Panasonic partnership - RS Components has won the 2010 Demand Creation Award from component manufacturer Panasonic Industrial. During the year, RS added 6800 new Panasonic components to its inventory, taking the total offering to over 8000 parts. The new lines included resistors, capacitors and semiconductors. At the same time, ...
Diodes' Hall Effect Switch Aids Portable Product Miniaturization
Diodes Incorporated has introduced the world's smallest programmable omnipolar Hall effect switch. The AH1892 is well-suited for proximity and position detection in space-constrained portable and battery powered products, including tablets, smart phones and camcorders.
High-side current monitors from Diodes Incorporated simplify measurement at high voltage
Diodes Incorporated has introduced a family of 6 high reliability current monitors for 40V and 60V operation. The ZXCT108X devices detect current in a high side sense resistor and reference it to ground, thereby reducing system circuit complexity and cost.
CISSOID launches High-Temperature Combo Triple Op-Amp & Voltage Reference for Instrumentation Amplifier & Sensor Applications
CISSOID, the leader in high-temperature semiconductor solutions introduced RUBY, a new triple operational amplifier with a built-in voltage reference for reliable operation from -55°C to +225°C. The three operational amplifiers can easily be configured as an instrumentation amplifier with external resistors, while the 5V voltage reference can provide up to 25mA for complete bridge excitation in high temperature sensor applications.
MAX16072-74: Low-power microprocessor supervisory circuits in chip-scale package are ideal for portable equipment
Maxim introduced the MAX16072-MAX16074 microprocessor supervisory circuits in a 1mm x 1mm chip-scale package. These low-power devices provide excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating the need for multiple external resistors and adjustments normally required when monitoring nominal system voltages from 1.8V to 3.6V. Their compact footprint and ultra-low supply current (0.7microamps) make them ideal for space-constrained portable a...
TacTouch haptic actuator controller integrates touch-pressure measurement for piezo and polymer actuators
Maxim introduced the MAX11836, a TacTouch haptic actuator controller for single-/multilayer piezo actuators and electroactive polymers (EAPs) in touch-enabled devices. Building on the success of the Company's MAX11835, the MAX11836 adds drive/sense circuitry for connecting up to four external force-sense resistors (FSRs) to measure touch pressure. Using FSRs with a capacitive touch-screen controller (C-TSC) helps avoid false touches and saves sys...
Omnipolar Hall switches from Diodes Inc
Diodes Incorporated has introduced two low voltage Omnipolar parts that substantially reduce power consumption in battery-powered, hand-held devices and dramatically simplify production processes. Uses include contact-less lid or display orientation and position detection tasks in notebooks, mobile phones, digital still cameras and camcorders.
Semtech Adds World’s Most Sensitive Proximity Function to Leading Capacitive Touchbutton Platform
Semtech Corp. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, has expanded its ultra-low power capacitive touch sensor ICs with a new platform of enhanced proximity sensing devices.
New Power Management Controllers - SC457 and SC458 - from Semtech
Semtech has announced the SC457 and SC458 power supply controllers with digitally controlled output and fast transient performance for processors and graphics chips used in notebook computers. With a built-in 7-bit DAC, the output voltage of the SC457 and SC458 can be digitally programmed in 12.5 mV steps from 0.3V up to 1.5V for precision control over output voltages.
Semtech Expands Buck Regulator Platform with World’s Smallest 1.8A Dual Point-of-Load Regulator
Semtech Corp. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the latest device in its buck controller platform. The new SC283 is the world’s smallest 1.8A dual-channel regulator for point-of-load (POL) applications, combining two step-down regulators in an ultra-small, low-profile 2 x 3 x 0.8mm, 18-pad MLPQ package. With integrated VID pins to enable independent configuration and control of the out...
