Just announced by Murata is the MHM series of ionizers, designed specifically for air conditioning applications in the white goods, automotive and industrial sectors. The MHM series ionizers require considerably lower voltages than competitive devices, yet by delivering comparable performance, they are proving particularly efficient.

A surface mount pyroelectric infrared sensor offering dramatically reduced footprint, easy automatic PCB mounting and lower cost, has been announced by Murata. The IRS-A200ST is a highly stable and highly sensitive device ideal for home, industrial, security and lighting applications.

An innovative MEMS-based gyro sensor device for car navigation systems has been launched by Murata, offering performance and manufacturing advantages over traditional approaches. Constructed as a System in Package (SiP), this microelectromechanical system device contains a silicon based vibration device and a custom designed integrated circuit for the capacitive sensor circuitry. The two chips are mounted on a ceramic substrate, and then herme...

Murata has announced a number of recent additions to its LLL, LLA, LLM and LLK series of low ESL capacitors, extending the capacitance ranges, over standard and extra low profile versions, while keeping ESL especially low. The LLL range, for example, with ESL quoted at 150 to 250pH, and targeting microprocessor clock speeds from 120 to 800MHz, has been extended with a number of X7S dielectric parts with capacitance ranges now up to 0.68µF (low ...

Designed specifically for high performance and high reliability applications, Murata has introduced the Hi-Q MLC range of multilayer chip capacitors. The ERB series provides higher power and higher frequency over standard multilayer chip capacitors, while the MA series, primarily targeted at radio applications, extends the power range even further. The highest performing GQM series provides a high frequency, high power solution.

The SV21 series of rotary position sensors from Murata is said to represent a breakthrough in the price/performance barrier for these increasingly popular ‘non-contact’ devices. To date, they have been significantly more expensive than traditional contact types, but with the SV21 series, Murata delivers a low cost non-contact sensor without compromising on performance or reliability.

Murata, has announced the introduction of a new family of competitively priced, three terminal ceramic resonators targeted at CANbus applications.
