NI Extends Design and Prototyping Platform for Hands-On Learning
National Instruments has introduced the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS) II+ design and prototyping platform, a single, integrated system that is ideal for the lab or classroom because it connects theory to real-world applications. The latest addition to the NI ELVIS family incorporates an onboard, 100 MS/s oscilloscope and features a series of new add-on boards to extend the platform beyond instrumentation and c...
NEC Electronics' new 78K Primer Kit
NEC Electronics has announced the release of the 78K Primer Kit. This learning tool introduces NEC Electronics’ industry-leading 78K microcontroller family and is designed to help and educate newcomers to get started quickly and easily both with 78K0 8-bit and the 78K0R 16-bit microcontrollers. The 78K Primer Kit is designed for engineers and students who are not yet familiar with NEC Electronics’ 78K microcontrollers. The kit holds hardware ...
ZnO Based Transient Voltage Suppressor Series from AVX
AVX has developed a Zinc Oxide based varistor series that exhibits a low leakage current of 2µA maximum. Designated the UltraGuard Series, the multilayer ceramic varistors feature non-linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back zener diodes and an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) capacitor in parallel.
