Phihong Develops Waterproof 4-port Poe Extender To Power Outdoor Security Applications
Phihong USA has expanded its line of PoE extenders with a fully waterproof 4-port data and power extender that can operate up to four IEEE802.3af-compliant powered devices from a single Ethernet cable. Designated the POE61S-4AF, the extender takes its power from an ultra-power midspan (75W or greater) and has an IP67 rating to ensure its full functionality for outdoor applications such as security cameras, sensors and emergency lighting.
Xilinx and Cadence Introduce an Extensible Virtual Platform to Enable Software-Centric Approach for Embedded Software Developers
Xilinx and Cadence Design Systems have announced that they have teamed to develop the industry’s first virtual platform to enable system design, software development, and testing of Xilinx Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform based systems in advance of hardware availability. This solution further enhances the development environment being put into place for Xilinx’s ARM processor-based processing platform and changes the development flow...
Powerstax convection cooled miniature PSU increases reliability and reduces noise
Powerstax announces the availability of a convection cooling option for its N-03751-PFC Series of ultra-compact AC/DC switching power supplies. The N-03751-PFC Series is designed for outdoor and semi-sealed industrial applications and low noise office environments and its low profile will suit 1U rack mounted systems.
Rohde & Schwarz sets new performance standards with two portable TV test receivers for installation and maintenance
The Rohde & Schwarz R&S EFL240 and R&S EFL340 portable TV test receivers for installing and servicing receiver systems can handle cable, satellite and terrestrial television. Both are cost-effective and easy to operate and the R&S EFL340 supports DVB-T2 and MPEG-4. Two receivers that deliver all information at a glance.
Ultra-Low Ohmic Jumper Resistors with 0.5mΩ Max Conduction Resistance and Higher Rated Current
ROHM has announced the development of the PMR series of ultra-low ohmic jumper resistors featuring significantly reduced conduction resistance (0.5mohm max.) and higher rated current. Jumper resistors are used in a variety of everyday electronic equipment, in switching circuits, or to make a shortcut between circuits.
National Instruments Expands High-Density Switching Capabilities for PXI
National Instruments has introduced eight new relay cards that expand its NI SwitchBlock line of high-density switching solutions for PXI systems. The new cards offer additional simultaneous connections and new differential measurement capabilities for high-channel-count switching applications. Engineers can choose from the expanded selection of NI SwitchBlock cards to create a custom matrix of relays that meets their specific requirements. Desig...
DILAS Delivers New Homogenized Conduction-Cooled, Line-Source at 600W, 880nm
DILAS, the diode laser company, is now delivering a new conduction-cooled, multi-bar, line source module with a homogeneous top hat optical beam profile in the slow-axis and diffraction limited profile in the fast-axis. This module is capable of 600W power output in 880nm +/-5nm.
An Overview of Diode Lasers for Defense Applications
Diode lasers emitting from the visible red to 2.2 microns and beyond have broad utility in the defense space. Pumping applications range from fiber and solid state directed energy laser weapons including DPALs, eye safe lasers to include LIDAR, to infrared counter measures. Direct diode uses include illuminators from the near IR to the eye safe regime as well as countermeasures.
New Broad Spectrum Fiber for Fiber Sensor and Spectroscopy Applications
In the fields of fiber sensing and spectroscopy, many applications require the capability to measure optical signals across a very wide spectral range. Historically, optical fibers have been limited in their transmission spectral range. Fibers with high -OH content perform better at UV wavelengths. However, the -OH content creates very large absorption regions in the Near Infrared (NIR) wavelengths, particularly at 980, 1250 and 1383nm. Conversel...
NXP Cortex-M0 Microcontrollers in High-Volume TSSOP and SO Packages Target 8/16-bit Applications
NXP Semiconductors N.V. has announced the availability of new low-pin-count package options – SO20, TSSOP20, TSSOP28 and DIP28 – for its ARM Cortex- M0 LPC1100 family of microcontroller. The new LPC111x devices are the world’s first 32-bit ARM microcontrollers in low-pin-count packages, and open the door for a broader range of applications previously closed to typical 32-bit MCUs due to package footprint or manufacturing constraints. Target...
