Its integrated power-on reset (POR) and watchdog timer offer enhanced system reliability required in automotive and industrial applications.
The TDK SESUB-PAN-T2541 Bluetooth v4.0 module, the ultra-compact Bluetooth low energy modules offer a tiny 4.6m x 5.6mm x 1mm footprint. The module is based on proprietary semiconductor embedded in substrate (SESUB) technology.
Amphenol’s Pcd SSL waterproof connectors are developed for both LED lighting and non-lighting applications. The range offers low-profile, board-to-board and retrofit types.
TE’s Mezalok, MULTIGIG RT 2-R, CeeLok FAS-T and Fortis Zd Series high-performance interconnects are providing high-speed, reliable and lightweight, robust solutions in harsh environments such as defence, aerospace and space applications. Mezalok surface-mount connectors are designed for stacking or mezzanine applications and ensure high-speed 5GHz+ data rates in the most adverse environmental conditions.
Overcoming a design hurdle that has burdened engineers for decades, Texas Instruments (TI) has announced a revolutionary Compute Through Power Loss (CTPL) technology to enable context save and restore across its MSP430 FRAM microcontroller (MCU) family, including the new MSP430FR6972 MCU, says the company.
The ADF5355 from Analog Devices allows implementation of fractional-N or integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference frequency. The device’s wideband microwave VCO design permits frequency operation from 6.8GHz to 13.6GHz at one radio frequency (RF) output.
The ams AS5055A-DK-ST design kit is specially developed for the AS5055A low-power 12-bit magnetic rotary sensor. The AS5055A is a single-chip on-axis magnetic rotary position sensor with low-voltage and low-power features. It includes an integrated Hall-element array, a high resolution ADC, and a smart power management controller.
Macom’s MAMX-011021 is a high-linearity passive mixer ‘engine’ housed in a 1.5mm x 1.2mm TDFN 6-lead plastic package. The device is designed for more linear applications such as high bit rate transmitters and receivers which may be used in point-to-point, satcom and LAN applications. The mixer features 8dB of conversion loss and 23dBm of input intercept point (IIP3).
the Texas Instruments C7200 time to digital converter (TDC) is aimed at ultrasonic sensing measurements such as water flow meter, gas flow meter and heat flow meters. When paired with the TDC1000 (ultrasonic analog-front-end), the TDC7200 can be a part of a complete TI ultrasonic sensing solution that includes the MSP430, power, wireless and source code.
TE Connectivity’s miniature high-sensitivity DPDT PCB-mount latching relays are suitable for wide range of demanding needs. The 5V P2 V23079 Series slimline two-pole polarised telecom and signal relay measures just 15mm x 7.5mm x 9.8mm.
