Hybrid storage capacitors offer alternative to back up batteries
Farnell element14 is launching the Vishay hybrid storage 196 HVC ENYCAP capacitors which are portable, compact and facilitate high-energy storage. Priced from £13.39 with price breaks for higher volumes the capacitors have the industry’s highest energy density (13 Ws/g) as well as polarised storage capacitor with high capacitance (up to 90 degrees F).
Development board targets HMI, motor control designs
TheGIZMO Explorer Board , a companion board for theGIZMO2platform from GIZMOSPHERE is available at Farnell element14. The board offers features and peripherals that are ideal for use in motor control, human machine interface and control system application designs so users can get their projects started quickly.
Development board evaluates low power Cortex-M0+ designs
Farnellelement14 has launched the new Freescale Kinetis KL27/17 Cortex-M0+ based Freedom Platform with USB. The board is designed to evaluate low power Cortex-M0+ based designs that require USB capability. This new Kinetis FRDM-KL27Z Cortex-M0+ based Freedom Platform with USB OTG features a Flex I/O module, ROM Bootloader and low power crystal-less USB functionality.
Inductance to digital converter operates in harsh environments
An inductance to digital converter for contactless, short-range sensing that enables high-resolution and low-cost position sensing of conductive targets, even in harsh environments has been launched by Farnell element14. Next day delivery is available for this family of devices from Texas Instruments which enables system designers to choose different resolution options depending on their application and system requirements, using a coil or spring...
Buying quantity without compromising on quality
High service distribution is changing. The age of the simple component distributor is dead. Customers and suppliers are demanding a manufacturing partner who can offer both a full design solution and the high level of service they have come to expect. By Phil Gee, Director, Corporate OEM/CEM, Farnell element14.
RF signal generator priced to meet tighter budgets
An instrument that combines an RF signal generator and a vector signal generator has been introduced by Farnell element14. The Tektronix TSG4100A is for use in product design, testing and manufacturing. Behind the instrument is a drive towards more affordable test solutions which still meet demanding requirements in wireless design and manufacturing.
Improve LED brightness in battery-powered devices
Current sensing resistors, designed to improve LED brightness and efficiency in portable battery-powered applications, have been introduced by Vishay Precision Group. The LED1625 and LED221, which expand the company’s Vishay Foil Resistors, provide low TCR of 0.05ppm/°C nominal (0 to +60°C) and 0.2ppm/°C nominal (-55 to +125°C,+25°C ref.), load-life stability of ±0.005% and tight tolerances to ±0.01%.
Motion trackers feature 3D inertial sensor assembly
Farnell element14 has introduced the MTi product portfolio from Xsens which provides a reliable industry standard for MEMS attitude and heading reference systems. The 4th generation MTi offers reliable MEMS based AHRS, VRU, and IMUs. The MTi 10-series gives the system integrator a choice of three different integration levels (IMU, VRU, AHRS).
CAD software enables complex PCB designs
Farnell element14 is now exclusively stocking Altium’s CircuitStudio software in the element14 Design Centre under the two companies’ global distribution deal. The software rounds out Farnell element14’s CAD offering and enables the company to fulfill the vast majority of software needs for professional design engineers.
