EPLAN launched the new version of EPLAN Electric P8 2.0 in August 2010. Extended CAD functions in the area of free graphics now guarantee clear production specifications. Trimming and chamfering as well as perpendicular and tangential design are only some of the functions that support detailed representations for mechanical production. To place graphical objects XY coordinates can now be directly entered in EPLAN Electric P8. This lets you quickl...

International Rectifier has introduced a new RAD-Hard solid state relay (SSR) for power bus switching, heater control circuits and battery charging used in high reliability (hi-rel) space-qualified applications. The RDHA701CD10A2N radiation-hardened DC single pole, single throw-type SSR is designed to improve reliability by replacing traditional electro-mechanical relays that are vulnerable to vibration and shock. The new SSR features very low o...

Elan Digital Systems has tested and qualified its highly successful pocket-sized USB oscilloscope on Microsoft Windows 7. The USBscope50 is arguably the smallest professional grade USB oscilloscope in the world. The USBscope50 has been designed to provide the optimum balance between portability, flexibility, overall performance and cost effectiveness.

Z-Communications, Inc. announced a new RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) model CLV1020A-LF in L-band. The CLV1020A-LF operates at 960-1080 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5-4.5 Vdc. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -106 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 40 MHz/V.

ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, has selected Freescale Semiconductor’s six-core MSC8156 digital signal processor (DSP) to power a flexible baseband platform for its software definable radio (SDR) base stations. Using the highly programmable Freescale DSP, ZTE can develop wireless base stations capable of supporting a range of wireless standards including 3G-LTE,TD-SCDMA, WiMAX an...

Linear Technology introduced the LTC3833, a high frequency controlled on-time synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with differential output voltage sensing and clock synchronization. The controlled on-time, valley current-mode architecture forces a very fast transient response by increasing its operating frequency during a transient event, allowing the LTC3833 to recover from a large load step in only a few cycles. Its 4.5V to 38V input range ...

Finder has introduced surge protection devices (SPD) designed specifically for photovoltaic (PV) panel installations. Additions to its popular 7P Series of SPDs, three new Type 2 surge arresters will protect PV systems from the effects of lightning strike and electrical switching transients. The products are already supporting the company's own PV panels at its primary manufacturing plant.

Bytec Group Limited and its vertical subsidiaries, including Bytec Medical, Bytec Systems and RAFI GB have formed a new division; Bytec Embedded, to provide industry-leading turn-key services to the embedded marketplace.

The Microelectronics Research Center (MRC), ofthe University of Texas at Austin (UT at Austin) hasrecently increased its facility capabilities by installinga Plasma-Therm VERSALINE® DSE™system.The addition of leading deep silicon etch technology enables process advances in MRC’s micro, nano and opto-electronics research.

Synopsys announced the availability of the DesignWare STAR ECC (Self-Test and Repair Error Correcting Codes) IP as a part of its DesignWare STAR Memory System® product family. The new DesignWare STAR ECC IP offers a highly automated design implementation and test diagnostic flow that helps system-on-chip (SoC) designers to quickly reduce the number of embedded memory transient errors, such as soft errors, that occur in emerging semiconductor pro...
