Characterising low power devices crucial for IoT growth
By Robert Green, Senior Market Development Manager, Keithley Instruments, a Tektronix Company It has been predicted that, within a decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) will grow to encompass billions or even trillions of wireless devices and sensors. However, that growth will depend to some degree on the ability of manufacturers to drive down the cost of each of these devices.
Low-end scopes get upgrade option
“On-customer-site” MSO Upgradeability is being offered by Rigol Technologies for its low end Oscilloscope Series DS1000Z. It will now be possible to start with the low-priced DS1000Z-plus model and upgrade the mixed signal functionality later when this new requirement arises. This offers more flexibility and secures the initial investment of customers.
Tiny 8-bit MCUs deliver precision analogue performance
Delivering what is claimed to be the highest analogue performance and peripheral integration in the 8-bit market, Silicon Labs has introduced the latest addition to its EFM8 MCU portfolio. The EFM8LB1 Laser Bee MCUs combine a high-speed ADC, multiple DACs, a highly accurate temperature sensor, two comparators and a 72MHz 8051 core with up to 64kB of flash.
Mixed signal oscilloscopes offer bandwidth up to 300MHz
The R&S HMO1202 mixed signal oscilloscope from Rohde & Schwarz expands the R&S HMO1002 oscilloscope family that was introduced just last year. The instruments are ideal for use in the development of embedded designs and are tailored to the needs of users in research, education and service. The mixed signal oscilloscopes are able to analyse serial SPI buses on digital channels while simultaneously monitoring two analogue signals refere...
Electronic Component Testing: A Non-Contact Sport
By Kristof Maddelein FLIR Systems As electronic circuit boards and components get smaller and more powerful, inherent heat can cause significant damage. Infrared thermography can identify hot spots, allowing for improved thermal management and greater advances in circuit board design.Electronics don’t like it hot. That’s why electronic systems designers are looking for ways to keep their components cool as the sizes of their devices...
Test system streamlines chip & sensor production
The latest model of its EVA100 measurement system, the high-throughput EVA100 Production Model designed for volume production of sensors, low-pin-count analogue ICs and mixed-signal ICs has been introduced by Advantest. Fully compatible with the initial EVA100 system introduced last year, the new Production Model allows users to establish a standardised measurement environment from design evaluation through production, dramatically improving thei...
