Op Amps or operational amplifiers, are fundamental building blocks in electronic design, mainly because these analog integrated circuits (ICs) are very versatile. Operational amplifiers can do more than amplify, or add “gain” to a signal, but it is a fundamental function that an op amp can magnify an input signal (and also any noise in […]

Chip-scale atomic clocks fit in compact quarters
Microsemi Corporation announced its new thermally improved Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) components with full operating and storage temperature. The new devices offer the lowest power holdover atomic clock technology without compromising size, weight, and power (SWaP) while operating at a wide temperature range. With an operating temperature range of -10 to 70 degrees Celsius, Microsemi’s new CSAC […]
Data acquisition system protects smart grid equipments, improves power delivery
Analog Devices announced a data acquisition system (DAS) that enhances smart grid equipment monitoring in order to protect equipment from harmful system faults and improve power delivery to residences and businesses. As electricity demand grows and renewable energy generation is added, utility companies must increase the scope, granularity and accuracy of monitoring points across the distribution […]
PoE multiplexer eliminates Ethernet switch replacements
Microsemi Corporation announced the availability of its PDS-EM-8100 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 2.5 Gbps Multiplexer. As the first device of its kind, the unique offering enables installations of new 802.11ac access points with 2.5 Gbps rates without the need to replace the Ethernet switch with a 2.5G NBASE-T interface. Microsemi’s new PDS-EM-8100 PoE 2.5 Gbps Multiplexer converts […]
