Honeywell has announced two Hall-effect digital position sensors - the SS345PT and SS445P Unipolar Hall-effect Digital Position Sensors - that reduce total system cost for customers by having built-in pull-up resistors, eliminating the need for customers to purchase an external pull-up resistor.

Maxim has introduced a chipset, the MAXQ3108 and DS8102, that reduces the bill of materials (BOM) cost of a polyphase energy meter. Together, the MAXQ3108 and DS8102 replace three high-cost current transformers with three low-cost shunts to save both cost and space.

Cree, Inc. has expanded its design-in support for the industry's first commercially-available SiC MOSFET power devices with a fully-qualified SPICE model. Using the new SPICE model, circuit designers can easily evaluate the benefits Cree's SiC Z-FETT MOSFETs provide for achieving a higher level of efficiency than is possible with conventional silicon power switching devices for comparably-rated devices.

Honeywell today announced the SL353 Series Micropower Omnipolar Digital Hall-Effect Sensor Integrated Circuits (ICs). The SL353 Series uses a BiCMOS IC design, a new Honeywell technology, which makes it possible to add more performance and functionality while reducing the size of the IC (compared to bipolar technology).

CUIDevices announced a new addition to its high resolution, low-cost AMT encoder line with the AMT303 series. The encoder generates standard U/V/W commutation signals for vectoring current to brushless motors. Resolutions can be set through the AMT303’s SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). Commutation output can accommodate brushless motors with 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 pole pairs, and is also selectable via the SPI. The AMT303 offers supplementary i...

CUIDevices announces a new addition to their buzzer product line with the CSS-05 series. Available in three configurations, the buzzers are extremely compact, housed in a 5 x 5 mm SMT package. Using magnetic technology, the series has a rated voltage of 3 V and a rated frequency of 4 K Hz.

The new Cherry VN1015 series of digital vane sensors from ZF Electronics are designed for applications which require robust repeatable sensors immune to moisture and dust. These digital sensors are magnetically operated, so there are no mechanical contacts to wear out, ensuring extra-long product life and reliability. Models in the VN1015 series are available either with 3-pin sink output or with 24 AWG terminations and will cope with operating...

ZF Electronics, formerly Cherry Electrical Products, has produced a new catalogue detailing its full range of speed and position sensors suitable for demanding environments, including extremes of temperature, humidity, thermal shock and vibration. Products include magnetic position sensors, vane sensors, geartooth speed only/speed and direction sensors and angular position sensors. Three additional ranges of custom sensors (rugged rotary encode...

Safety is a prime consideration when specifying operators for both commercial and domestic garage doors, as clearly such doors are extremely heavy and have the potential to cause significant injury if components fail to limit the speed and travel of their movement. The UL specification that relates to garage door operators, UL325, now covers operators for both domestic garage doors (Class I regulations) and commercial garage doors (Class II regu...

Standex has today revealed that it has acquired Meder in an all-cash transaction. Terms for the acquisition were not disclosed. Meder reported sales of €46 million for calendar 2011 and an EBITDA margin in excess of 13%. The Company expects Meder to be accretive to earnings in the range of $0.08 to $0.12 per diluted share in fiscal 2013 and $0.26 to $0.31 in fiscal 2014.
