Analog Devices' Mixed-Signal Front End ICs Reduce Power and PC Board Space in Wireless Communications Equipment
Analog Devices, Inc. today introduced 12-bit and 10-bit mixed-signal front-ends (MxFEs) that reduce power and board space for developers of wireless infrastructure and portable radio equipment. The 12-bit AD9963 and 10-bit AD9961 MxFEs use 40 percent less power and 25 percent less printed-circuit board area than competing devices without sacrificing performance. These MxFEs are especially effective for cost-sensitive wireless equipment, such as f...
Powercords - How to make the right connection
To some people powercords are thought of as commodity products. However, there can be a myriad of combinations of moulded plug, cable and end terminations. Any company manufacturing or supplying electrical and electronic products can be faced with a long list of different types of cords that are needed for their appliances, depending upon the nature of the end product they are used on as well as the country of destination.
Artila’s ARM9 PAC-5070 Integrates Data Acquisition
Artila Electronics Co., Ltd., an emerging force in embedded networking and computing, announced their PAC-5070, an ARM9-based single board computer with advanced data acquisition capability.
