element14 unveils Raspberry Pi compute module
Designers using the Raspberry Pi for embedded applications can now go to element14 for the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit. The Module allows design engineers to use their own interface board that will host the compute module and deliver a smooth experience as they move from prototyping on the Pi through to shipping commercial product in volume.
Development kit features embedded FRAM
Farnell element14 has launched Texas Instruments MSP430 ULP (ultra low power) FRAM LaunchPad, a development platform which combines embedded FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) and a holistic ultra low-power system architecture. The new addition to the LaunchPad family, MSP-EXP430FR5969 - an easy-to-use Evaluation Module for the MSP4305969 microcontroller enables developers to reduce energy budgets, minimise product size and enable a batter...
Sensor ICs oust reed relays from battery-powered applications
Honeywell’s Nanopower Anisotropic Magnetoresistive Sensor ICs are now available from Farnell element14. The new ICs provide the highest level of magnetic sensitivity, as low as 7 Gauss typical, while requiring no more than 360 nA. The Sensor ICs are smaller, more durable and more reliable than reed switches, operating with the same sensitivity for the same cost.
Wires,cables use 100% recyclable insulation
Farnell element14 has launched the EcoCable and EcoFlex range from Alpha Wire. Utilising the innovative 100% recyclable mPPE insulation found in EcoWire, EcoCable and EcoFlex are designed to be up to 65% lighter and 47% smaller, with up to 91% lower outgassing than traditional PVC cable and capable of handling temperature extremes to -50°C.
Re-defining the role of electronics distribution
In this article, Richard Curtin, Global Director of Strategic Alliance at element14, and Eddie Sinnott, VP Portfolio, Strategy & Marketing at Wolfson, discuss why the development of the recently launched Wolfson Audio Card demonstrates that the role of electronics distribution is being re-defined to support a new generation of innovation.
15W AC/DC power supply targets medical applications
XP Power announces the EML15 series of 15W single output AC/DC power supplies suitable for use in medical equipment. Complying with 3rd edition EN60601-1, ES60601-1, CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1, IEC60601-1 medical safety standards, this extremely compact power supply is believed to be the smallest device at this power rating available in the industry.
DSP LiB aims to boost practical skills of students
Seeking to help boost practical skills development and the creation of new ARM-based audio systems, ARM will be shipping a DSP'Lab-in-a-Box' (LiB) to universities worldwide. The LiB kits contain ARM Cortex-M4-based MCU boards by STMicroelectronics and audio cards from Wolfson Microelectronics and Farnell element14.
3000W AC/DC power supply provides current down to zero
A series of 3000W programmable AC/DC power supplies, designated the HDS3000 series, has been launched by XP Power. Complimenting the company's existing 800W and 1500W versions, the series comprises seven single output models providing all the popular nominal output voltages from + 12 to + 60 VDC.
Self-powered sensor kit dispenses with batteries, cables
A self-powered sensor kit that enables designers and enthusiasts to get up and running with home and building automation is available from element14. The EnOcean Sensor Kit requires no cables or batteries and can be used with the EnOcean Pi for a wide variety of applications including switching lights, controlling blinds as well as acquiring wireless sensor information like temperature and window/door status detection.
The changing face of electronics distribution
Distribution is changing; customers are demanding more from the traditional component distributor from full end to end solutions with technical information, software and hardware support, components in a range of volumes and a variety of delivery options. The customer is changing too; the line between supplier and customer it blurring. Distributors are responding by changing their offering, creating solutions that support customers’ right t...
