Micropower real-time clocks provide increased security and tamper detection
The event detect and time stamp features in two ultra small, micropower real-time clock/calendar devices from Intersil operate in both normal and battery mode. With their enhanced security functionality, the RTCs are uniquely suited for a variety of applications ranging from security, warranty monitoring, data collection and recording.
Cm3 connector for small and medium servomotors is easy to install
ITT Electronic Components’ new Cm3 connector for small and medium servomotors has simplified internal wiring and replaces two bulkier conventional circular connectors, reducing mating to servomotors to four steps. The Cm3 connector has a low profile ideal for space-sensitive applications, significantly lower installation cost and is 50 percent smaller and lighter than conventional circular connector designs.
Reliable Ultra-Flat Keyboards
Cherry Electrical Products has announced an ultra-flat 16mm keyboard, developed for home-office and business users seeking pleasing, innovative designs and reliable (up to 10 million) key operation.
Standard DC/DC converters designed exclusively for defence and avionics applications
XP Power has announced the MTC series of 5W to 35W DC/DC converters designed as a standard product family exclusively for defence and avionics applications. The MTC is a non-custom converter based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and is available in 5, 15 and 35 W ratings.
6 GHz Active Differential Probe Provides Excellent Signal Fidelity and Connectivity
Tektronix has announced the extension of the Z-Active family of differential probes with the immediate availability of its 6 GHz P7360 Active Differential Probe. This is a continuation of the Z-Active architecture that enhances usability, connectivity, and cost-effectiveness across a broad range of applications and will be useful for digital design engineers working with high speed signals and serial data at rates from 1.5 Gb/s to 3.125 Gb/s.
1.5 Amp LDO from Microchip has many features
Microchip has announced a 1.5A LDO that incorporates shutdown, power good, programmable power good delay and bond-wire compensation on a single chip. The MCP1727 is a highly efficient, adjustable output, low-power LDO in small, thermally capable packages (8-pin SOIC or 3 mm x 3 mm DFN). The combination of high output current (1.5A) and low output voltage (down to 0.8V) makes the MCP1727 ideally suited for powering a variety of power supply ...
Heatsinkable Thin Film Power Resistor from Ohmite
Ohmite has produced what it claims to be the industry’s first thin film power resistor in heatsinkable packaging. The TK/TN Series also offers other major advantages over existing TO-220 products, namely, low resistance values down to 0.03 ohms for current sense applications and low cost.
30W Power Supply in a 2 x 4in Footprint
Power-One has introduced the BLP30-3000G power supply. This AC-DC product provides industry-leading 30W, 2 x 4in footprint currents: +5V @ 3.5A (5A peak), +12VDC @ 2A, and -12VDC @ 0.5A.
