Low Cost 32-bit Digital Signal Controller
Texas Instruments has added four low cost members to the TMS320F280xx digital signal controller series targeted at motor control, digital power conversion and intelligent sensor control applications. The new TMS320F28015 and F28016 controllers offer 60MHz of performance starting as low as $3.25 (in 1Ku quantities) while the new TMS320F2801-60 and F2802-60 controllers also offer 60 MHz of performance and are based on the current TMS320F2801 and F2...
Single-Chip Power Factor Control for 75- to 800W Consumer Applications
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's first single-chip, interleaved, transition-mode power factor correction (PFC) control circuit that helps lower power system cost and save energy in consumer applications, such as digital TVs, personal computers and entry-level server platforms. TI will showcase the controller and other innovative power management technology at the Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion (PCIM) conference in Nurember...
National Instruments Claims Highest-Performance VXI Embedded Controller
National Instruments has introduced the NI VXIpc-882, a two-slot VXI embedded controller featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7400. As the industry’s highest-performing VXI embedded controller, the VXIpc-882 delivers much faster processing capabilities than typical single-core controllers. Additionally, by combining the controller with the multicore support of NI LabVIEW 8.6 graphical programming software, engineers can create superior-per...
900A current transducer from LEM sets new benchmark for accuracy and drift
LEM has introduced its new high accuracy ITL 900 current transducer for precise measurement of DC, AC and pulsed currents up to ±900A. The ITL 900 is the highest accuracy current transducer available on the market today, allowing more precise measurement and control of currents in wide range of industrial, medical and instrumentation applications.
Fairchild Semiconductor’s Industry-First Bi-Directional Logic Gate Optocoupler Provides Proven, Reliable Optical Isolation
Design engineers working with industrial communication designs need to transmit high speed data over the communication fieldbus without the risk of damaging sensitive controllers, ADCs or sensors. The current solution uses two single-channel optocouplers or other technology, like magnetic or capacitive coupling. But this does not provide the desired level of reliable isolation and immunity to EMI.
ACAL Technology sign Honeywell Precision Sensors
ACAL Technology has announced the signing of a pan-European agreement to distribute Precision Magnetic and Pressure Sensors products from Honeywell. The agreement introduces magnetic and pressure sensors to ACAL’s linecard and follows increased demand from customers for sensors for use in applications such as GPS-enabled or other navigation products, as well as in air data systems, unmanned vehicles, test and measurement, and process control.
Switch drives Lower Voltage, Deeper Micropower and Higher ESD
Melexis has introduced a Micropower & Omnipolar Hall-Effect Switch: the MLX90248. Consistent with Melexis’ ‘Green’ initiative, the device employs enhanced CMOS technology, producing a non-contact magnetic switch with microwatt power consumption. Achieving an industry standard for minimal power consumption, this product satisfies the stringent demands of consumer applications like flip, slide and clamshell portable handsets, PDA’s and pers...
