STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and the leading supplier of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) for consumer and portable applications 1, has introduced a new generation of geo-magnetic 2 modules.

STMicroelectronics has introduced the first members in its iNEMOfamily of multi-sensor Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) devices. The integration of a variety of motion, magnetic, pressure and temperature sensors with a 32-bit processing unit and dedicated software in one package will lead to leaps in functionality and performance in a wide variety of applications, including Gaming, Human Machine Interface, Robotics, Portable Navigation Devices and...

Mobile Knowledge has selected Zytronic’s projected capacitive technology (PCT)-based ZYPOS touch sensors as the primary input interface for its ruggedized, in-vehicle kiosk, the Windows CE based Passenger Information Monitor (PIM). The company, which specializes in dispatch technologies for the For Hire industry, will market the new ZYPOS-based PIM to taxi companies across North America and around the world.

transformer driver. The ISO1176T provides the primary voltage for an isolation transformer and, in conjunction with an external transformer, rectifier and regulator, provides the smallest isolated signal and power system design with highest efficiency and lowest electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Developers looking to ease and accelerate their industrial automation designs can now benefit from the industry’s first ARM Cortex-A8 system solution with multiple integrated industrial communication protocols, offered by Texas Instruments Incorporated. The Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors, launched last month, deliver power dissipation levels below 7mW, along with two industrial automation hardware development tools, complete softw...

Texas Instruments introduced the first quad-channel, 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for medical imaging applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ADS5263 meets designers’ needs for clear, crisp signals and faster acquisition times by delivering a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 84.6 dBFS with 10-MHz input and a sampling frequency of up to 100 MSPS. Along with high performance, the quad-channel architecture, l...

Raychem Circuit Protection, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has announced the introduction of its PolySwitch LVR series of resettable circuit protection devices. PolySwitch LVR devices help protect electric motors and transformers used in commercial and home appliances from failures caused by mechanical overloads, overheating, stall, lost neutral and other potentially damaging conditions.

TAIYO YUDEN has succeeded in developing the metal power inductor “MCOIL”, the first of a series of coil components that use metallic magnetic materials optimal for use in choke coils for power supply circuits in compact mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs that are becoming smaller, thinner, and more feature-rich.

Now available through ACAL Technology - the new Xcite 1340W modular power supply from Excelsys Technologies, the world leading specialists in high efficiency configurable power supplies. Just 1U high and 268mm x 127mm the Xcite boasts industry leading 16W/in² power density with up to 90% efficiency and an innovative “plug and play” architecture which allows users to configure a custom power solution in less than 5 minutes.

Multitest, a designer and manufacturer of final test handlers, contactors and load boards used by integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and final test subcontractors worldwide, has successfully added a new application to its MEMS test and calibration product line. With the new application, 3-D earth magnetic field sensors can be used for innovative mobile applications and state-of-the-art navigation applications without the use of a GPS.
