Farnell, the leading multi-channel distributor of electronic and industrial components, will give visitors to its stand at this year’s Electronica an exciting and different experience compared to the norm. With a focus on green technology, sport and electronics innovation, the stand will feature six key areas with live demonstrations and several interactive challenges.

ON Semiconductor has announced two new highly integrated driver ICs that will drive high current motors with reduced component count and board space in stepper motor based applications. The new AMIS-30532 and AMIS-30542 micro-stepping stepper motor drivers have high current capabilities with integrated H-bridges and are ideal for motion control designs in automotive, industrial, office equipment, medical, security and marine applications.

ACCES I/O Products has released its newest PC/104 board - the 104-QUAD-8 Series. This line of PC/104 quadrature input boards is an ideal solution for users in the motion control market looking for up to 4, 6, or 8-channels of encoder inputs. The boards are perfect for use in embedded motion control, instrumentation, robotics, industrial machinery, process control and monitoring, and more. Digital filtering, interrupts, and flexible programming of...

DAILY RFID has recently released mini Passive RFID Tag, which operates in the UHF spectrum from 860MHz to 960MHz. With a small size and long reading distance, the passive RFID tag is suitable for animal tracking, such as dog, cat and pig, etc.

Atmel announced through the Atmel University Program its sponsorship to the Oregon State University Mars Rover Program scheduled to debut on May 24 in the main lobby of the Union Bank Building in Portland, Oregon.

Phaedrus Systems and IAR Systems have joined together to sponsor the Imperial College Robotics Society (ICRS) Robo-Tracer Competition. The sponsorship provides the teams at Imperial with copies of IAR Embedded Workbench integrated development environment, IAR KickStart Kits (a development kit), IAR J-link debug probes, IAR visualSTATE graphical development environments, IAR compilers and cash for additional equipment. Total sponsorship is worth a...

Honeywell has announced new Unipolar Hall-Effect Digital Position Sensors, the SS340RT and SS440R Series, that include an SOT-23 subminiature surface mount package, built-in reverse polarity protection, and a low 3 Vdc capability. The new devices will occupy less space on a printed circuit board (PCB) than other Honeywell Hall-effect sensors, can simplify installation, and can protect the device from damage when mounted on the PCB.

Freescale Semiconductor today announced the Make It Challenge design contest, which is set to take place at the Freescale Technology Forum (FTF) June 20-23 in San Antonio, Texas. The contest will challenge attendees to develop and submit a unique sensor robotic or system design based on Freescale’s latest sensor development kit in the form of a walking robot or the Freescale Tower System.

Freescale has collaborated with industrial technology partners to develop an advanced programmable logic controller reference platform based on Freescale’s dual-core QorIQ P1025 processor. The reference platform integrates well-established EtherCAT protocol software from KPA, PLC Firmware from ISaGRAF, and the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system to boost the functionality, reliability and performance of control applications communicating vi...

There are many East Asian manufacturers – with headquarters in China, Japan or Taiwan, for example – that make high-quality, reliable electromechanical and optoelectronic components. But what differentiates these companies from one another? And what makes a specific vendor attractive for customers/users – particularly here in Europe?
