Thick film chip attenuator replaces three or more discretes
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a surface-mount thick film chip attenuator featuring a balanced Π filter schematic. Offered in a resistor array package, the CZB attenuator can replace three or more discrete devices, reducing board space requirements and simplifying the manufacturing process in telecomms and mobile wireless products.
Dual-colour red and IR emitting diode saves space
Designed to save space in wearables and medical patient monitoring systems, a dual-colour red and IR emitting diode has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology. The VSMD66694 features wavelengths of 660 (red) and 940nm (IR) in a compact 2x2x0.87mm package and is built on SurfLight technology for best-in-class radiant power of 9.5 and 8.5mW, respectively.
Thick film chip resistor dividers simplify high-voltage designs
Vishay has introduced a series of thick film chip resistor dividers designed to reduce space requirements, simplify manufacturing designs, and increase design flexibility in high-voltage industrial and alternative energy equipment. Available in a wide range of termination styles, materials, and configurations, the CDMV series offers working voltages up to 1.4kV and provide a single-component replacement for multiple discrete resistors used in vol...
Resistors offer power ratings up to 6W
A family of high-power resistors has been added to the New Yorker Electronics passive component portfolio. The Vishay Dale Thin Film PCAN Series of resistor are built on aluminum nitride substrates, and offer power ratings to 6W and resistance from 2Ω to 30kΩ in 1206 and 2512 case sizes. They are optimised as snubber circuits and burden, gate load and amplifier termination resistors in industrial, military and medical applications.
1W safety resistor offers silent fusing operation
Vishay Intertechnology has announced a 1W axial cemented, fusible wirewound safety resistor that delivers safe and silent fusing operation during overload conditions, while withstanding pulse voltages of at least 2kV (1.2/50µs) per IEC 61000-4-5 for resistance values greater than 75Ω.
StudentDAQ version adds 350Ω & 1kΩ quarter-bridge inputs
As part of its continued focus on the classroom, Micro-Measurements, a Vishay Precision Group brand, has introduced a recent version of its popular StudentDAQ pocket-sized, USB-powered data acquisition device for use with resistive strain sensors. Originally available with 120Ω quarter-bridge inputs, the version offers additional 350Ω and 1kΩ quarter-bridge inputs for more precise measurement in a variety of applications.
Automotive grade MLCCs operate up to +175°C
Designed for the most extreme automotive operating conditions, Vishay Intertechnology has announced a series of automotive grade, radial-leaded MLCCs. The K…H series "HOTcap" devices combine an industry-high (according to the manufacturer) operating temperature of +175°C for all available ceramic dielectrics with a wide capacitance range from 100pF to 1μF and low capacitance tolerances as tight as ±5%.
Vishay extends SMD aluminium capacitor voltage range
Vishay Intertechnology has announced that it has extended the voltage range for its automotive grade 146 CTI and 160 CLA series of surface-mount aluminium capacitors to 100 and 80V, respectively. For high-temperature automotive and industrial applications, the devices provide low impedance, high ripple current and long useful life.
UV LED offers reliable mercury lamp replacement
Designed to provide a reliable, energy-saving replacement for mercury lamps, Vishay Intertechnology has announced a ceramic-based, high-power UV LED with silicone lens that features a wavelength in the 365nm range. The VLMU3510-365-130 delivers an exceptionally long lifetime in a compact 3.45x3.45mm surface-mount package for medical, industrial and printing applications.
Optimising automotive pre-boost power supplies - part 2
Part one of this article described the problem, showed the impact of a cold start test pulse on an automotive power supply and discussed a typical pre-booster specification. This second part provides guidance on proper part selection of all relevant components. It also shows the reaction of a pre-booster on a cold crank test pulse and the impact of its error amplifier.
