NI Adds 20 Switch Modules to Industry-Leading PXI Platform for Automated Test
National Instruments released 20 new PXI and PXI Express switches last year, offering engineers higher density and higher bandwidth switches to meet a range of automated test requirements. Switches in the PXI platform simplify applications ranging from low-speed precision measurements on a dozen test points to high-frequency characterisation of integrated circuits in large multi-site configurations.
Murata Introduce High peak Current Electrical Double-Layer Capacitors
Murata introduced a high peak current electrical double-layer capacitor series with a profile of 2.5mm±0.2mm. The newest EDLC series from Murata also features lowest resistance (40mOhm to 60mOhm) and stable temperature characteristics, enabling it to be charged and discharged frequently over the operating range of -30°C to +70°C.
Diodes Increase Power Density in USB Port Protection Duties with AP2552 and AP2553 Power Switches
Diodes have today unveiled the AP2552 and AP2553 power switches. These programmable current-limiting power switches provide over-current protection for two USB3.0 ports or up to four USB2.0 ports. The AP2552 and AP2553 are able to protect loads of up to a maximum of 2.1A, making them suitable for notebook, set-top boxes, LCD TV products and other applications that require reliable over-current protection on 3.3V and 5V power rails.
