Standalone LED driver for in-car lighting
Inova Semiconductors has announced a new standalone smart RGB LED driver and controller, the INLC100Q16. This is the latest member of Inova’s ISELED family, a truly revolutionary concept for in-car LED lighting that substantially reduces costs, simplifies control and enables dynamically changing light.The next generation of in-car ambient lighting will typically comprise of 10 to 30 LEDs mounted on a flexible light strip.
Digital control meets intelligent analogue to streamline design
Whether it’s used as an initial introduction into embedded development, the main controller of a connected application or as an attach component to offload tasks from a larger system, the role of the 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) continues to expand.
Pushbutton switches cope with harsh environments
A major expansion of switching products from C&K has been announced by RS Components. It includes devices for mounting on both panels and printed circuit boards. The extension of the portfolio available from RS includes a full selection of PCB- and panel-mounted pushbuttons, DIP switches, key switches and tactile switches.
Miniature sensor designed for precise detection in small spaces
Banner Engineering has announced the release of VS8 Series miniature sensors for precise detection in applications with extremely limited space.Sensors in the VS8 Series have a space-saving form factor (21.1x14.6x8mm) for use in confined spaces and near moving parts. They are available in red laser, red LED, or blue LED models with opposed, retroreflective, adjustable, or fixed-field background suppression sensing modes.This versatility allows co...

Next-gen photoelectric sensors pilot the future of sensing
SICK’s next-gen W16 and W26 smart sensors with ‘BluePilot’ alignment are at the helm of a streamlined portfolio of photoelectric sensors, radically-upgraded to optimise ease-of-use with complete object detection reliability.The W16 and W26 proximity, reflex and through-beam sensors are manufactured at a purpose-built, fully-automated production facility in southern Germany. They mark the culmination of a two-year, multi-million ...
Compact DC UPS systems offer SuperCaps as energy storage
An economical solution for the uninterrupted power supply of DC loads, such as motors, sensors, actuators or card readers, has been announced byBicker Elektronik.The two DC UPS modules UPSIC-1205 (12VDC/5A) and UPSIC-2403 (24VDC/3A) are equipped with ultracapacitors (so-called SuperCaps) as energy storage which operate according to the principle of double-layer capacitors (EDLC).
Say goodbye to your LED problems with custom emitter arrays
Advanced lighting technology company, Solid State Supplies, now has the ability to offer fully customised LED emitter arrays from LED Engin (a division of Osram Specialty Lighting). For certain optoelectronic applications, such as scientific instrumentation, horticulture and machine imaging, engineers need to look beyond simply sourcing standard off-the-shelf emitters.
