STMicroelectronics’ TSZ181H1 and dual TSZ182H1 automotive-qualified operational amplifiers (op amps) deliver high accuracy and stability over a wide (-40°C to 175°C) temperature range. The high maximum operating temperature encourages use in harsh environments and in applications with long mission profiles. The op amps have very low input offset voltage, typically 3.5µV at 25°Cm, and input bias current, typically 30pA […]

How many types of radar are there?
Radio detection and ranging (radar) uses reflected radio waves to detect and determine the distance, angle, and velocity of objects relative to the radar system. A basic radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwave spectrum (these can be pulsed or continuous), a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often […]
If you are working with sensors here are some tools to consider: Part 2
Sensor fusion is increasingly important across a range of applications including automotive, industrial, consumer, portable, medical systems and others. It can be challenging to sort out the design issues and identify the optimal solution. That’s where electronic design automation (EDA) tools are handy. The best choice of EDA tool or tools for a given project […]
JFET line adds 16 new devices
Solitron Devices announces a substantial expansion of our Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) portfolio of products. Expanding on the existing JANTXV-qualified product line, Solitron has added 16 new N channel devices offered with COTS and hi reliability screening options. Packaged in hermetic TO18/TO-72/TO-78 packages, this series is designed for harsh environments such as space, avionics, and […]
