Advanced IC integrates instrumentation amp, auto-trimming, digital pots, analog switches
Dialog Semiconductor plc announced the SLG47004, Dialog’s first Advanced Analog GreenPAK IC. The SLG47004 integrates an instrumentation amplifier with auto-trimming, digital pots, analog switches, and a myriad of digital functions with in-system programmability in a small 3mm x 3mm solution size allowing designers to create simulate and prototype their own unique sophisticated analog ICs in […]
RTC module offers high accuracy across industrial temperature range
Micro Crystal introduces the new RV-3032-C7 Real-Time Clock (RTC) Module, which offers the world’s best time accuracy across industrial temperature range at ultra-low current consumption. This high-performance ultra-compact RTC Module, featuring a custom IC and integrated quartz crystal resonator, sets new standards in the smallest size (half of the footprint of a uSOP-8 package, no […]
Low-power DAC with NVM simplifies handheld designs
Implementing multi-channel system control or signal outputs using Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) in today’s portable and handheld industrial, communications, consumer and medical systems has been difficult to do without significant processor overhead for device configuration during power-up. Microchip Technology Inc. announced a solution to this problem with its MCP47/48FxBx8 family of octal 12-bit DACs, the first of their […]
Space-saving film capacitors excel at EMI suppression
KEMET, a subsidiary of Yageo Corporation, announces its new R52 series of compact polypropylene film X2 EMI (electromagnetic interference) suppression capacitors. This series fulfills the growing need of automotive, industrial, consumer, and energy applications that require a smaller, high-capacitance X2 class solution for suppressing EMI. While the R52 series offers capacitance values up to 22µF, […]
Anti-sulphur, high-reliability thin-film chip resistors optimized for harsh environments
TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, announced the APC Series resistors, its family of high reliability surface mount resistors that have been qualified for use in environments exposed to sulphur-bearing gasses. Featuring stability and tight tolerances, APC resistors are optimised for high precision analogue circuits deployed in polluted environments […]
Temperature sensor ICs deliver precision measurement
Designers of highly reliable cold-chain pharma and other temperature-sensing applications can achieve high accuracy and robust system operation with two new Essential Analog ICs from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. The MAX31889 digital temperature sensor features an unmatched combination of accuracy and power consumption, replacing expensive resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) in precise temperature-sensitive applications. The MAX31825 […]
Gasket material suppresses signal interference, reduces force on sensitive electronic components
As design engineers create smaller and more powerful electronics, they must place sensitive components closer together, which can increase to damaging levels the force placed on these components. A new fabric-over-foam gasket from Laird Performance Materials features a soft silicone foam core with a low compression force that suppresses electromagnetic interference without damaging sensitive components. The EcoTemp […]
MEMS pressure sensors feature fast response, high resolution, long-term stability
Bourns, Inc. announced the addition of four new model families to the Bourns Precision Sensor (BPS) line.
