X-band GaN-based pulsed power amps integrate monitoring, protection
Diamond Microwave, a specialist in high performance microwave power amplifiers, has announced the launch of a new range of X-band GaN-based pulsed solid-state power amplifiers (SSPA) offering integrated monitoring and protection. The new product range features output power levels up to 300W, and an ultra-compact footprint of only 220 x 150 x 41mm excluding heatsink. […]
Terminal blocks accept wires that aren’t stripped
Würth Elektronik eiSos is launching a series of new terminal blocks. The special feature, thanks to the insulation-displacement technique employed in the WR-TBL terminal blocks, the cables no longer need be stripped. The terminal blocks are supplied in the 3.81 and 5.08 mm spacing pitches, both with and without flanging. According to the cULus method, […]
Precision 16-V Op Amps
feature low input-offset voltage, CMRR
STMicroelectronics has introduced the new TSX7 series of precision 16 V op amps that combine high accuracy with a wide operating-voltage range and excellent robustness. The low input-offset voltage, Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), and temperature drift eliminate any need for trimming or calibration in the assembled circuit while ensuring consistent performance over a wide […]
Gallery: Electronics in the spotlight at Xponential 2016 unmanned systems exhibition
Though the Xponential unmanned systems exhibition has a reputation for showing off a lot of exotic hardware, there were numerous developments on the electronics front at this year’s event. Themes we noticed included manufacturers paying more attention to the handling of huge data flows generated by optical and thermal sensors that sit onboard UAVs these […]
Bipolar two-channel stepping motor driver also handles BDC motors

Hybrid inks for flexible electronics need no sintering
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) are building tools and developing a framework that developers can use to easily perform data analytics over a multitude of devices. Rather than having developers design custom algorithms for each network of devices, the framework of software RPI has in mind sits on all the network devices. The cloud […]
Harvesting power for IoT devices
by Tony Armstrong, Linear Technology Sometimes energy for IoT devices comes from the likes of thermoelectric generators and thermopiles thanks to power management ICs that double as energy misers. Power consumption is a controversial topic when it comes to IoT devices. At the low end of the power spectrum are devices where most of the […]
