Providing reinforced insulation and low LED trigger currents of 3mA max, the TLP267J and TLP268J are the latest Triac-output photocouplers from TEE. The reduced trigger current allows the devices to control output at a lower input current, thus contributing to lower power consumption.

As ageing and increasingly healthy populations proliferate developed and developing regions, engineering decisions such as choosing resistors for diverse medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications become more crucial. Stephen Oxley, Senior Applications Engineer, TT Electronics, explores further in this ES Design magazine article.

Tektronix is expanding its family of precision power analysers with the introduction of the PA1000 single-phase power analyser. The company is positioning itself to take advantage of the burgeoning power inverter market which Curt Willener, general manager, Power Analyser Product Line, Tektronix suggested could be worth £70bn by 2020. The analyser is available now from Tektronix distributors including Farnell element14 and RS Components.

MACOM has announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mindspeed Technologies. The transaction value is approximately $272 million in diluted equity value, or $246 million net of Mindspeed's cash position of approximately $26 million as of September 27, 2013. MACOM expects to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and its existing undrawn revolving credit facility. The boards of both companies hav...

A successful demonstration of III-V compound semiconductor FinFET devices integrated epitaxially on 300mm silicon wafers, has been completed by Imec. Done through a unique silicon fin replacement process, Imec's demonstration signals progress toward 300mm and future 450mm high-volume wafer manufacturing of advanced heterogeneous CMOS devices, monolithically integrating high-density compound semiconductors on silicon. The breakthrough not only en...
