Digital pressure sensor suits hostile environments
Suitable for high performance, low pressure applications in hostile environments, the 86BSD is a media-isolated digital output pressure sensor from Measurement Specialties. Combining a low-profile, 16 mm diaphragm diameter with a rugged 316L stainless steel housing, the sensor provides both pressure and temperature readouts.
Controller generates up to 240A for multiphase slave designs
The LTC3870, from Linear, is a dual phase synchronous step-down slave controller that can generate currents up to 240A when paired with a companion master controller by extending the phase count in multiphase applications. Compatible master controllers include the LTC3880 and LTC3883 digital power system management controllers.
Altera and Intel extend partnership
Extending the existing manufacturing agreement, Altera and Intel will collaborate to develop multi-die devices that leverage Intel’s world-class package and assembly capabilities and Altera’s leading-edge programmable logic technology. Under the current agreement, Intel is manufacturing Altera’s Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs using the 14nm Tri-Gate process.
ICs enable 4x25G and 8x25G connections for 100GbE systems
Designed for modern 100GbE systems, theAVSP-4412 and AVSP-8801multi-channel retimer IC devices have been unveiled by Avago Technologies.Withstanding up to 32 dB of channel loss at 25 Gbpsper channel, these devices enable high-density, long-reach 4x25G and 8x25G connections for networkbackplane interface and VSR connections up to 4x28G for network front port interface.
12A synchronous buck regulator with PMBus interface
Featuring a tiny PowerStack QFN package and integrated NexFET MOSFETs, the SWIFT TPS53915 converter drives ASICs in space-constrained and power-dense applications in including wired and wireless communications, enterprise/cloud computing and storage systems. TI claim that this is the industry’s smallest 12A, synchronous DC/DC buck converter with PMBus interface.
All-weather kiosks utilise Zytronic's PCT sensors
Allowing riders to select and hire a bike in a quick and easy manner, Zytronic’s Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT) has been specified for an outdoor public-use application. Bike sharing pioneer, Pedal has begun integrating PCT touch sensors into its environmentally-friendly Inter Street rental kiosks.
DC/DC regulators offer choice with 100% compatible footprint
Ericsson has introduced two new 3E DC-DC regulators to its family of BMR461 12 x 12 x 8mm digital POL modules. The two new variants in the BMR461 family offer current outputs of 6A (BMR4612001) and 18A (BMR4614001) and join the existing 12A version (BMR4613001) launched toward the end of last year.
Radiation hardened regulator suited for aerospace
Claiming to be the industry’s first radiation hardened 12V input POL synchronous buck switching regulator, the ISL70003SEH has been unveiled by Intersil. The regulator is capable of operating over an input voltage range of 3.0 to 13.2V for aerospace and satellite power applications.
