Compact data logger highlights savings potential
BEKO Technologies has spawned a little brother to its METPOINT BDL data logger. The METPOINT BDL compact data logger allows for the connection of 2 - 4 transducers or sensors in a user-defined manner with pressure transducers, for example, or with pressure dew point transmitters, volume-flow sensors, temperature sensors, clip-on ammeters, etc.
PXI & Ethernet LXI switching to feature at DesignCon
Pickering Interfaces will showcase its broad catalog of PXI and Ethernet LXI switching solutions at DesignCon, booth 529, 28thto 29thJanuary in Santa Clara, CA. These products include Pickering’s PXI Fault Insertion, Programmable Resistors, RF Matrices, Microwave Multiplexers and LXI ranges. Listed below is a selection of the products that will be showcased:
Varistors combine circuit protection & EMI/RFI attenuation
Combining circuit protection and EMI/RFI attenuation functions in a single device, the VR20 varistors have been released by AVX. The TransGuard automotive devices are based on the company’s patented multilayer varistor technology, which provides bi-directional transient voltage protection in the on-state and EMI/RFI attenuation in the off-state.
RS Components, Weidmuller Seal Global Distribution Deal
RS Components has completed a new global trading agreement with industrial connectivity specialist Weidmuller. The Weidmuller range available from RS satisfies interconnection needs across numerous industries such as manufacturing, process control, energy, transportation and more for connecting power, signals and data.
How hybrid relays can simplify compliance

By Benoit Renard, SCR/Triac Application Engineer, & Laurent Gonthier, SCR/Triac Application Manager, STMicroelectronics.
Evaluating SERDES in FPGAs
Supporting multiple high-speed transmission interface standards and accelerating time-to-market with economical SERDES enhanced FPGAs. By Benny Ma, Applications Engineer, Lattice Semiconductor.
Use a PGIA to avoid getting burned by switch parasitics
Instrumentation Amplifiers (In-Amps) with programmable gain are typically used to maximise dynamic range in precision sensor measurements. Most in-amps use an external gain resistor, Rg, to set the gain, so the desired gains can be achieved by multiplexing a set of resistors. Three major issues must be considered before implementing a system this way, however: supply limitations, switch capacitance and on-resistance. By Scott Hunt, Product Appli...
Solid state switches feature operating time of under 250µs
Pickering Interfaces has added two PXI high power solid-state switch modules to its range of PXI switching solutions. ThePXI 25A Solid State SPST Switch (40-184) offers 3 or 6-off SPST solid-state switches capable of handling 25A signals at up to 100V, whilst thePXI 1.5A Solid State SPST Switch (40-185) offers 3 or 6-off SPST solid-state switches able to handle 1.5A at up to 400V.
