Omron’s new G5RL U/K latching relays target movement control, smart meter, power line switching and PV inverters and similar applications. Latching relays are only energised while switching and use less power than non-latching designs in most applications.
Toshiba’s U-MOSIX-H low-voltage N-Channel enhancement-mode MOSFETs, the high-efficiency MOSFETs that are specifically designed for use in the secondary side of AC-DC power supplies. This includes notebook PC adapters, game consoles, servers, desktop PCs, flat-panel displays.
Latest from Texas Instruments (TI) are the easy-to-use TPS562210 and TPS563210, 2A and 3A synchronous step-down converters in 8-pin SOT-23 packages. The devices are optimized to operate with minimum external component counts and also optimized to achieve low standby current.
Intersil’s ISL8272M 50A digital DC-DC PMBus power module integrates a digital PWM controller, dual-phase power MOSFETs, inductors, and passive components. The ISL8272M does not require airflow or a heatsink, and can work in a current-sharing configuration with up to 4 modules to provide up to 200A of continuous current. The ISL8272M operates with the ChargeMode control architecture, which responds to a transient load within a single switching cycle.
Kingbright’s wide range of SMD LED’s with dome lenses in various packages include 0603 package (KPTD-1608), 1206 package (KPTD-3216), PLCC package (KPED-3528) and many others. The dome lens packages provide narrow viewing angles of 15 to 30 degrees allowing a more focused and brighter intensity output and eliminating any light bleeding issues.
The Texas Instruments (TI) MSP-TS432PZ100 Target Socket Board is a standalone ZIF socket target board used to program and debug the MSP432 in-system through the JTAG interface or the Spy Bi-Wire (2-wire JTAG) protocol. The development board supports all MSP432P401x Flash parts in a 100-pin LQFP package.
On Semiconductor’s NCS2003 operational amplifier is designed to ensure high-performance operation in low-voltage low-power applications. The NCS2003 is a low-voltage operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output drive capability. Its 1.8V operation allows high performance operation in low-voltage, low-power applications.
Microchip has introduced a new 14-member dsPIC33EP ‘GS’ family of digital signal controllers (DSCs). The family delivers the performance needed to implement more sophisticated non-linear, predictive and adaptive control algorithms at higher switching frequencies.
Murata BNX Series EMI network filters, The EMI suppression filters supporting large current, wide frequency and SMD mounting. They are effective for noise suppression for DC switching lines of automotive and FA/OA devices and covers a wide temperature range from -55C to 125C.
The NXP QN902X ultra-low power BLE system on chip (SoC) integrates a Bluetooth v4.0 low energy radio with an ARM Cortex-M0 MCU. The single-chip solution offers room to run applications, provide signal processing, or it can be used as a Bluetooth network processor by connecting the QN902X to an application processor.
The affordable boards, the STM32 Nucleo boards from ST Microelectronics, allow design engineers to try out new ideas and quickly create prototypes with any STM32 MCU, says the company. The STM32 Nucleo boards share Arduino connectors and ST Morpho headers, so they can easily be extended with a wide range of application related hardware add-ons.
Molex Perma-Seal terminal connectors provide a rugged, environmentally sealed connection for wire sizes 8 to 22 AWG. Perma-Seal terminals and splices insulate, seal, and protect joints from hard use and abrasion, water, salt, and other corrosive compounds.
