MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans provide extraordinarily clear images of the human body and are commonly used to diagnose a wide range of illnesses and injuries, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancerous tumors, and torn ligaments. Analog Devices has introduced what it is describing as a breakthrough in data conversion that will be capable of giving clinicians and radiologists the much improved image clarity that they need to see smaller anatomical structures and abnormalities, such as breast cancer cells.

Circuit Components
World's first JEITA RCX-2326 compliant MLCCs
Murata's GW new series of multilayer ceramic capacitors is the world's first to comply to the Japanese standard JEITA RCX-2326. This standard specifies capacitance under actual operating conditions including temperature and DC voltage. Murata has succeeded in achieving higher capacitance with the GW series under these conditions compared with previous models of multilayer ceramic capacitors. The GW series is suitable for decoupling capacitor use in power supply circuits for low voltage driven devices and CPUs, FPGAs and similar applications. |

Ultra small LED flash driver from austriamicrosystems
austriamicrosystems has launched the AS3645 LED flash driver, an inductive, ultra small, high-efficiency single/dual LED flash driver that offers 25 per cent higher output current than existing equivalents. The higher flash power enhances picture and video quality especially in low light environments at same system size. |

Sub-Assemblies
Eight new FMC boards from 4DSP
Eight new analogue-to-digital/digital-to-analogue boards based on the FPGA mezzanine card standard (FMC) have been unveiled by 4DSP. These latest boards are based on the new open industry standard developed by a consortium of companies working through the ANSI/VITA organisations, as defined in the ANSI/VITA 57.1.2008 specification. FMC modules are designed to connect to FMC compliant carrier cards in the CompactPCI, VPX or PCI express form factors. |
Interconnection

STMicroelectronics unveils innovative plastic air-cavity packaging
STMicroelectronics has unveiled an innovative plastic air-cavity package that could enable high-power transistors for Radio-Frequency (RF) applications such as transceivers, broadcast equipment and MRI scanners to deliver performance and cost advantages over alternative devices in ceramic packages. Air-cavity packages provide high electrical isolation for silicon die, and are well suited for high-frequency, high-power applications. Whereas the traditional package body is typically ceramic, to withstand high-temperature soldering during package assembly, this new air-cavity technology now enables lower thermal resistance, lower weight, and reduced cost compared to devices in ceramic packages. |
