Automotive FPGAs operate to 125°C
Microsemi Corporation has announced qualification of its AEC-Q100 grade 1 automotive-grade FPGAs. In addition to outlining the criterion for electronic components to ensure that end systems meet automotive reliability levels, the grade 1 industry standard specification validates Microsemi’s IGLOO2 FPGAs as offering the highest junction temperature in its class―up to an impressive 125º ambient (135ºC junction).
NiMH wireless charger-receiver targets hearing aids
Expanding its offerings in wireless battery charging, Linear Technology has announced the LTC4123 which combines a 30mW wireless receiver with a constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for NiMH batteries. An external resonant LC tank connected to the LTC4123 enables the IC to receive power wirelessly from an alternating magnetic field generated by a transmit coil.
Pressure sensors meet swathe of applications
The basic amplified ABP series of pressure sensors from Honeywell are now being stocked by TTI in Europe. The piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors offer a ratiometric analogue or digital output for reading pressure over the specified full scale pressure span and temperature range. The components are suitable for many commercial, industrial and medical applications.
