Premo patents low consumption current transducers
PREMO has taken out an important low consumption current transducer patent by the Spanish Patents and Trade Office and developed together with the Catalonia Polytechnic University (UPC). ES 2 294 966 1 number patent was granted on 16th February 09 to the Premo Group. The new system developed is based in the “Flux-Gate” principle, a well-known technology employed in magnetometers and sonar boat systems. Premo has combined Flux Gate pri...
Current sensing up to 2000Amps with 0.2% accuracy
After successful introduction of the highest precision and linear current sensors in the industry, the DCT Fluxgate family, Premo is increasing its current sensors product portfolio with as many as 35 new families of Hall Effect current transducers that has been successfully presented in Electronica Exhibition. The primary currents range from as low as 10 amps to as high as 2000 amps with the new HCT-2000LF.
National Semiconductor’s Single-Wire 16-bit DAC for 4-to-20 mA Loops Simplifies Smart Transmitter Design
National Semiconductor has introduced a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring a single-wire interface and 4-to-20 mA current loop drive that simplifies the design of smart transmitters used in industrial two-wire sensor systems. The highly integrated DAC161P997 reduces component count and cost in factory and building automation control systems by enabling the use of a single isolation component to cross the isolation boundary. For se...

Wolfson takes ultra low power to a new level and claims world-leading DAC
Wolfson Microelectronics announced the launch of the WM8912, an ultra low power DAC designed to significantly extend playback time, reduce system cost and dramatically enhance audio performance in portable applications, including media players, headsets, multimedia phones and navigation devices.
Automotive SoC Enables Precision Ultrasonic Sensing
Maxim has introduced the newest member of its MAXQ RISC microcontroller product line: the MAXQ7667 SoC (system-on-chip), mixed-signal microcontroller for ultrasonic sensor applications. A highly integrated DAS (data-acquisition system), this SoC provides a cost-effective solution for applications that must measure weak signals over long distances or identify multiple targets. Its integrated functions, moreover, allow designers to add intelligence...
Pin- and Software-Compatible DACs from Maxim
Maxim has introduced pin- and software-compatible 16-bit and 12-bit precision DACs. Offered in a 3mm x 3mm package, these DACs integrate a high-precision voltage reference and provide exceptional linearity. Pin and software compatibility saves design time by allowing designers the capability to change resolution without redesigning the board or control software. This results in reduced time-to-market for the end product. This unmatched combinati...
