Mouser Electronics, the global authorised distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, has presented prizes worth tens of thousands of dollars to the winners of Texas ...

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the new 5kVRMS MAX14934, MAX14935, and MAX14936 Four Channel Digital Isolators from Maxim Integrated. These devices transfer digital signals between circuits with ...

Touchscreen manufacturer Zytronic’s large format and robust projected capacitive (p-cap) products have been specified for an application within the medical sector. Working with its distribution partner, Telerex, the company has been contracted to supply Recornect with bespoke design 32, 46 and 55-inch multi-touch sensors for its communication wall system, developed to help psychiatric patients in acute or long-term care facilities.

Molex Incorporated has introduced the microSD/micro-SIM combo connector, which has been designed to provide mobile device manufacturers with a highly versatile connector that offers a lower profile and more compact size than competitive products.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2983, a high performance digital temperature measurement IC which directly digitizes RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors and external diodes with 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. A high performance analogue front end combines low noise and low offset buffered ADCs with all the necessary excitation and control circuits for each sensor. Measurements are performed under the control of a digital engine combining all the algorithms and linearization required for each.

The new M-series1200V IGBTs from STMicroelectronics feature advanced trench-gate field-stop technology to save more energy and increase reliability in applications such as solar inverters, welding equipment, uninterruptible power supplies, and industrial motor drives.

Altera Corporation is making available a functional safety development board and FPGA reference designs through NewTec, a European provider of safety-related electronic systems. The new board and reference designs coupled with Altera’s TÜV Rheinland-qualified FPGAs, tools, and IP, enable customers to accelerate development and certification of FPGA-based system designs.

Conrad Business Supplies has announced that it now offers the WAGO 221 series of COMPACT Splicing Connectors. The family of three, ultra-small parts (2-, 3-, 5-pins) has been optimized for ease-of-use and is suitable for all wire types.

Integrated Device Technology has introduced a new high-performance synthesizer with ultra-low phase jitter for reducing bit error rates in today’s serial data communications systems. The 8T49NS010 synthesizer with an integrated fanout buffer/divider delivers high-performance clocks for demanding applications, and is ideal for 40GE and 100GE telecommunications and networking systems.

Equipment designers dealing with tight space constraints or low-strength signals in sensing applications can now look to overcome these challenges by using new G3VM MOSFET relays from Omron Electronic Components Europe. The two families being added to the Omron G3VM line-up are a range of tiny VSON devices measuring 2.45mm x 1.45mm x 1.30mm, and ultra-sensitive relays that can be triggered by a signal of just 0.2mA.
