ERNI Electronics has added an enhanced gigabit Ethernet connector that facilitates 10GbE applications to its M12 connector portfolio. Providing reliable high-speed data transfer, the M12 X-Code connectors are designed for reliable and rugged industrial data communications applications.
ON Semiconductor’s NTMFS6 single N-channel power MOSFETs feature a small footprint of just 5mm x 6mm for compact designs. Their Low RDS(on) minimizes conduction losses and a low QG and capacitance minimizes driver losses. The devices are Pb-free, halogen free/BFR free and are RoHS compliant.
Vishay’s AEC-Q200-qualified low-profile, high-current IHLD-4032KB-5A Series dual inductors feature two inductors in one package with a shielded construction and low coupling for minimal cross-talk between inductors.
Cypress has introduced what it believes is the industry’s highest-density synchronous SRAMs with on-chip error-correcting code (ECC). The integrated ECC feature enables the new 36Mb synchronous SRAMs to provide the highest levels of data reliability, simplifying designs for a wide variety of military, communication and data processing applications.
Microchip has announced that the Volvo Car Group has migrated from MOST25 to the latest MOST150 standard in its all-new Volvo XC90 model, using Microchip’s OS81110 Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INICs). After many years of using Microchip’s MOST25 INICs, Volvo Cars needed to enable its latest infotainment systems with the ability to carry Ethernet packets.
Freescale’s FXTH8715 Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS) are aimed at applications such as tyre pressure monitoring systems and ultra low-power wireless sensing. The highly-integrated TPMS offer the smallest package footprint on the market at 7mm x 7mm, says the company.
JAE Electronics’ DX4 series waterproof micro connectors are compatible with the Micro-USB type 2.0 for small devices standardized by the USB Implementers Forum
The Littelfuse LSP05 and LSP10 SPD surge-protection modules are self-protected devices that can be used in outdoor and commercial LED lighting fixtures for transient over-voltage protection. They are constructed with Littelfuse thermally-protected varistor technology.
This rise in demand has been fuelled by increasing computerisation in the automotive and industrial markets, along with the rapidly expanding current control application sector and the trend towards high-current circuit designs.
The rugged Texas Instruments DP83867 is a robust low-power fully-featured Physical Layer transceiver with integrated PMD sublayers to support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet protocols. Optimized for ESD protection, the device exceeds 8kV IEC 61000-4-2 (direct contact).
The Micrel MICRF229 ASK/OOK receiver with auto-poll and RSSI is a 400-450MHz super-heterodyne, image-reject RF receiver with automatic gain control. The MICRF229 also features an ASK/OOK demodulator and analog RSSI output. It’s ideal for low-cost, low-power, RKE, TPMS and remote actuation applications and only requires a crystal and a minimum number of external components.
Rohm Semiconductor has introduced a new intelligent power module (IPM) family optimized for high speed and power-efficient operation in motor driving and inverter applications. The 600V modules integrate a range of components such as gate drivers, bootstrap diodes, IGBTs or ROHM’s proprietary Low Ron SuperJunction Power MOSFETs (PrestoMOS) as well as a fly wheel diode (FWD) within a single compact package.
