Once the prerogative of very high volume applications, custom colour LCDs are now an affordable option in low to medium volumes, enabling designers to differentiate their products with an attractive, unique interface and achieve a real competitive edge.

Power Integrations claims its TinySwitch-III, is the industry’s most energy-efficient, highly integrated, cost-effective IC for universal-input power supplies ranging from 3 to 28 W.

A new range of Xenon filled wedge based lamps is available from CML-IT. Designed for use in a variety of automotive, gaming machinery, aviation, signalisation and architectural applications, the latest Xenon lamps are currently available in three different models: 1503X (14V 3.4W rating, T10 size, 10000 hour life), 501x (12V 5W rating, T10 size, 3000 hour life) and 1260X (12V 6W rating, T10 size, 1000 hour life).

Powersolve has announced a family of Industrial DC-DC converters that will suit a very wide range of applications requiring nominal 12V, 24V or 48V DC inputs. Manufactured by Astec, the new family comprises five series of DC-DC converters with outputs from 6 to 30 W.

An online design tool that enables test engineers to custom-build their own virtual mixed-signal connector is available at www.charcroft.com.

Monolithic Power Systems has announced the MP1543, a new compact and highly integrated 1.5A synchronous step-up (boost) converter that operates with an input voltage as low as 1.8V while maintaining an overall operating efficiency greater than 90%.

Tyco's T9C AC coil power relay gives enhanced versatility for applications such as HVAC, power supplies, domestic appliances and measurement and control. The new device compliments the existing T9A series, which is currently only available with a DC coil.

SynQor has announced a DC/DC converter optimized to provide high efficiency, fast transient response, and low output noise in one of the smallest packages in the industry. The NQ10W50PKA07 series delivers a full 7A of output current and is ideal as a low voltage POL converter in Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) applications.

Power-One has announced its 15-amp ZY1015 No-BusTM Point-Of-Load (POL) converter. Featuring a low-profile horizontally-mounted package, this hardware-configurable digital POL provides sophisticated power management capabilities without the need for programming, external controllers, or bus interfaces. Simple pin strapping, an external trim resistor, and a capacitor are all that is required for configuration.

From general purpose to explosion-proof industrial pc’s, the new Daisy Data catalogue from Steadlands International contains several new products including models designed for extreme environments requiring Class 1 and 2 specifications and even a MIL srtandard computer designed for shipboard applications.
