Infineon Technologies has expanded its cost-effective and scalable XC800 microcontroller (MCU) portfolio with two powerful new device series. The new XC82x and XC83x series were specifically developed to further reduce system cost and allow for improved energy efficiency of a wide range of industrial applications.

For the first time, a piezoelectric harvesting device fabricated by MEMS technology generates a record of 85μW electrical power from vibrations. A wafer level packaging method was developed for robustness. The packaged MEMS-based harvester is used to power a wireless sensor node. Within the Holst Centre program on Micropower Generation and Storage, imec researchers developed a temperature sensor that can wirelessly transmit data in a fully ...

Aqueous Technologies Corp., will unveil the new Trident X in Booth #3029 at the upcoming IPC APEX Expo, scheduled to take place February 28 - March 1, 2012 at the San Diego Convention Center in California.

Energy Micro is to extend the reach of its ultra low power EFM32 Gecko microcontroller family with the introduction of an ARM Cortex-M0 based product line and has improved the low power performance of its forthcoming Cortex-M3 based Tiny Gecko devices. The new introductions will boost the company’s Energy Friendly Microcontroller portfolio to more than 100 products.

Technifor can offer an electromagnetic micropercussion marking solution for use on all materials. The micro-impacts produced on the material surface using a carbide tipped stylus create a lasting mark, without creating stress or chippings. This new machine is the result of the process to optimise the Technifor range, adding a powerful electromagnet combined with an optimal guide system to produce marking of remarkable precision and quality.

A colour version is the latest milestone in the evolution of DALSA’s BOA smart cameras for End Users, Vision Integrators and OEMs. Colour imaging is important in a host of applications and industries from food, meat, print and pharmaceutical inspection to PCB assembly, part presence and/or detection and quality and grading applications.

Festo has launched a powerful CoDeSys embedded controller for use with its renowned CPX series of multifunctional control terminals. The new CPX-CEC module provides machine builders with a technically elegant means of overseeing all the units in a CPX terminal – regardless of whether they are for pneumatic or electric drives, or I/O functions – using a fast, easy-to-program controller. Suitable for single and multi-axis applications, the CPX-...

Linear Technology has announced the LTC3566, the latest in a family of compact next-generation, multi-function power management solutions for Li-Ion/Polymer battery applications. The LTC3566 integrates a switching PowerPath manager, a stand-alone battery charger, a 1A high efficiency synchronous buck-boost regulator, an ideal diode and controller, plus an always-on LDO, all in a compact, low-profile 4mm x 4mm QFN package.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4110, an autonomous multi-chemistry, single chip, high efficiency flyback battery charge and discharge manager for server, memory backup, medical equipment, and high reliability system applications. The LTC4110 features four operating modes: battery backup, battery charge, no-loss battery calibration and shutdown. Combining all these in a single IC saves significant board area compared to existing solutions...

Linear Technology introduced the LT3652HV, a higher voltage version of the innovative LT3652 monolithic buck battery charger for modern battery chemistries. The LT3652HV offers a wider battery float voltage range than the LT3652 — up to 18V — and features the same input voltage regulation loop that controls charge current to hold the input voltage at a programmed level. The LT3652HV has the flexibility to charge many different battery configu...
