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.

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.

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.

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...

Adding to their existing range of15 to 60W LED drivers, XP Power have announced additions to theDLE series of AC input LED drivers. TheDLE25 & 35 series of AC input LED drivers eliminateflicker due to the incorporated universal input with active power factor correction in a two power stage design.

Leveraging intelligent peripherals and optimised software to ease the burden of complex maths instructions, Texas Instruments has announced an expanded ecosystem of free and easy-to-use maths libraries for its MSP430 MCUs.Both MSPMATHLIB and IQmathLib software libraries are suitable for applications where performance and power are critical, such as orientation tracking.

Encapsulated in an SIP 8-pin package measuring just 21.85 x 11.1 x 9.2 mm, theITX series of 6 Watt DC/DC converters are believed to be one of the highest power ratings available in a SIP format. The devices, from XP Power, delivera power density of up to 46W per cubic inch with the company claiming that the seriesoccupies much less board space than competing devices.

Farnell element14 and Atmel have launched the SAMA5D3 Xplained evaluation kit, a low-cost fast prototyping and evaluation platform for microprocessor-based design. The board, which is based on Atmel’s SAMA5D3 ARM Cortex-A5 processor-based MPU, comes with a rich set of ready-to-use connectivity and storage peripherals, along with Arduino shield-compatible expansion headers for easy customisation.

Raspberry Pi has Hi-Fi. Farnell element14has launched the Wolfson Audio Card which allows Raspberry Pi owners to use high quality audio capabilities as the inspiration for their latest Pi innovations. The card brings both line-in, line-out headphone and headset support, on-board stereo microphones, and digital audio S/PDIF functionality to the Raspberry Pifor the first time.

Chris Stanton from element14 demonstrates the features of the new Wolfson Audio Card with the Raspberry Pi.
