High precision fixed gain fully differential amplifiers
Precision, fixed gain, fully differential amplifiers have been announced by Analog Devices with the LTC6363-0.5, LTC6363-1 and LTC6363-2, creating a family of ultra-precision fixed-gain variants of the successful LTC6363 amplifier. The new offerings are available in fixed gains of 0.5, 1 and 2V/V which provide flexibility when scaling inputs to the full range of ADCs.
Miniature 15kV optocoupler simplifies design requirements
Luso has announced that HVM Technology have released a miniature 15kV Opto-Coupler.The OPTO-150 is a miniature; 15kV rated high voltage opto-coupler which integrates low voltage LED drivers with high voltage photo detector diodes.Typical applications for the OPTO-150 include high voltage switching, high voltage isolation, external voltage sensing, voltage level shifting, and mass spectrometry.
Considerations when comparing SiC and GaN in power applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technologies are promising great things for the future. SiC devices in a cascode configuration enable existing systems to be easily upgraded to get the benefits of wide band-gap devices right now. By: Anup Bhalla, VP Engineering, UnitedSic.
Resistor for renewables launched
With UK Government figures reporting that renewable energy accounted for almost 30% of energy generated, REO UK is focusing on reliable power generation for the future. The company has launched the REO BW151 Resistor Kombi, a braking resistor for renewable applications such as wind turbines and electric cars.
Explosion proof signalling with global approvals
The independent signalling manufacturer, E2S Warning Signals, is offering a comprehensive range hazardous location and explosion proof alarm horn sounders, Xenon strobes, LED beacons, loudspeakers, push buttons and call points.
Thick-film power resistor cuts component costs
An AEC-Q200 qualified thick-film power resistor featuring a clip mount TO247 package for direct mounting on a heatsink has been released by Vishay Intertechnology. For automotive applications, the Vishay Sfernice LTO 150 offers industry-high power dissipation of 150 W at a +45 °C case temperature and an improved pulse handling capability.
Electrifying vehicle technologies in the modern era
Despite appearing to be a modern phenomenon, the first electric vehicle took to the road in 1832 and in 1899, outselling all other available options, including steam and gasoline powered vehicles. Since 1935, with the invention of the internal combustion engines, gasoline-powered vehicles have become the popular choice. This changed in 2016, which saw a record in the sale of electric vehicles worldwide, with 750,000 cars sold.
Power path manager features digital I2C telemetry
Analog Deviceshas announceda highly integrated, high voltage multi-chemistry synchronous monolithic step-down battery charger and PowerPath manager with onboard telemetry functions and optional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The LTC4162 efficiently transfers power from a variety of input sources, such as wall adapters, backplanes and solar panels, to charge a Li-Ion/Polymer, LiFePO4or lead-acid battery stack and provide power to a system lo...
Sensor + Test 2018: Pt Temperature sensor wins ESCC approval
ESSC-qualified thin-film Pt temperature sensors which will work from -200 degrees C to +200 degrees C in space have been introduced by Innovative Sensor Technology (IST). The ESSC qualification follows a four-year evaluation and qualification phase.
Pushing the frontiers of knowledge at the SpaceX Hyperloop competition
Panasonic Industry has announced its sponsorship of the WARR Hyperloop team from the Technical University in Munich (TUM) which is taking part in the third annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition this summer. The Hyperloop is a new transportation concept for a high speed train to travel in a near-vacuum tube. The vacuum-tube allows the capsule to travel at supersonic speed - faster than any commercial train or car in the foreseeable future.
