Vishay ultra-fast recovery rectifiers have very fast reverse recovery times as low as 15ns and voltage levels as high as 1500V. Typical applications include very high frequency switched mode power supplies (SMPS), inverters, and freewheeling diodes.
Omron human vision components (HVC) module features Omron’s best in class image sensing technology (OKAO Vision) along with a camera, processor, and external interface onto a single PCB, sized at 60mm x 40mm – this results is an image sensor ‘unlike anything else on the market’, says the company.
Diodes Inc.’s AP2X Series offers single-channel, current-limited, integrated high-side power switches optimized for Universal Serial Bus (USB) and other hot-swap applications such as LCD TVs / monitors, set-top boxes, residential gateways, laptops, desktops, servers, e-readers, docking stations and hubs.
The Lattice Semiconductor iCE40 UltraLite FPGA one of the industry’s smallest and lowest power field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for feature-rich consumer mobile and industrial handheld devices. The highly-integrated iCE40 UltraLite devices deliver a flexible logic architecture, programmable I/Os, and hardened IPs and LED drivers – all wrapped into an ultra-low power FPGA and sensor manager with instant-on capability.
Due to the industry’s ever increasing demand for more functionality in ever decreasing PCB space, e.g. in handheld devices, Harwin has expanded its popular EZBoardWare portfolio with new, small-size and low-profile versions of surface-mount test points.
Microchip has introduced the PAC1921 a new combined analogue and digital current sensor. The device is the world’s first high-side current sensor with both a digital output, as well as a configurable analogue output that can present power, current or voltage over the single output pin, says the company.
Silicon Labs has unveiled a new dual-mode Bluetooth Smart ready module solution that gives embedded developers unparalleled flexibility to integrate both Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Basic Rate / Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) wireless technologies while minimizing design time, cost and complexity.
Micrel MIC28303 synchronous step-down regulator modules feature a novel adaptive ON-time control architecture. The 50V 3A power modules combine a DC-DC controller, power MOSFETs, bootstrap diode, bootstrap capacitor, and an inductor – all in a single package.
Recom Power has announced two new series of AC/DC power supplies designed for medical applications. The RACM100 and RACM150 are compact high-efficiency units which provide 100W or 135W maximum power in a semi-enclosed case without forced cooling while meeting two means of patient protection, a must for high-grade medical applications.
A complete and configurable solution for managing four independent high-brightness LED channels using the STLUX385A digital controller, the STMicroelectronics STEVAL-ILL057V1 digital LED Channel Evaluation Board.
IDT’s 8V97051 wideband RF synthesizer / PLL with integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) offers a combination of high-performance, low power consumption and wide-tuning range. The device features an integrated VCO with a large tuning range capable of providing multi-band local oscillator (LO) frequency synthesis, limiting the need for multiple narrow-band RF synthesizers.
