MILPITAS, CA & NORWOOD, MA – April 17, 2017 – Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTC2358-18, an 18-bit, 8-channel simultaneous sampling successive approximation register (SAR) ADC featuring integrated picoamp input buffers. With board real estate at a premium, the LTC2358-18 brings substantial space and cost savings by eliminating front end signal conditioning circuitry normally required to drive unbuffered switched-capacitor ADC inputs. The combined component savings of three amplifiers, six resistors and two capacitors for each channel, a total of 88 components over 8 channels, saves BOM cost and significant board space and provides over 40% savings in power … Read More → "Buffered 18-Bit Octal ADC with Picoamp Inputs Shrinks Solution Size"
IRVINE, Calif. – Pasternack, a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has released a new line of low phase noise amplifiers that incorporate GaAs HBT MMIC semiconductor technology to deliver ultra-low phase noise performance over a wide dynamic range. These amplifiers can be used to help optimize the sensitivity and dynamic range … Read More → "Pasternack Releases New Low Phase Noise Amplifiers from 1.5 GHz to 18 GHz"
Waterloo, Ontario — Apr 13, 2017 – Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has introduced new RiCool V fans for enhanced intelligent cooling in several backplane-based computing solutions.
The Pixus reverse-impeller blowers require only 1U of space above the card cage to provide high-performance cooling. This approach helps keep the chassis height low, while providing more efficient and effective cooling than axial muffin fans that are often employed in the rear of an enclosure. Located directly above the card cage, the 12V RiCool V … Read More → "Pixus Announces New Cooling Solutions for OpenVPX and MicroTCA Systems"
Singapore, 10 April 2017 – A team of scientists led by Associate Professor Yang Hyunsoo from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Faculty of Engineering has invented a novel ultra-thin multilayer film which could harness the properties of tiny magnetic whirls, known as skyrmions, as information carriers for storing and processing data on magnetic media.
The nano-sized thin film, which was developed in collaboration with researchers from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University, and Louisiana State University, is a critical step towards the design of data storage devices that … Read More → "NUS researchers invent ultra-thin multilayer film for next-generation data storage and processing"
Plano, Texas – April 13th, 2017 – Extending the capability to support redundancy power systems with rail voltages up to 400V, the ZXGD3112N7 active OR’ing MOSFET controller introduced by Diodes Incorporated, builds on a successful design employed in previous 40V and 200V devices. A low turn-off threshold voltage enables very low RDS(on) MOSFETs to operate as ideal diodes, providing a highly efficient power system that is well-suited for target applications in telecoms systems, data centers and servers, where OR’ing two or more power supplies together … Read More → "Best-in-Class Active OR’ing MOSFET Controller from Diodes Incorporated Supports Power Supplies up to 400V"

MILPITAS, CA & NORWOOD, MA – April 13, 2017 – Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LT8640S, a 6A, 42V input synchronous step-down switching regulator. Its unique Silent Switcher® 2 architecture uses two internal input capacitors as well as internal BST and INTVCC capacitors to minimize the area of the hot loops. Combined with very well controlled switching edges and an internal construction with an integral ground plane and the use of copper pillars in lieu of bond wires, the LT8640S’s design dramatically reduces EMI/EMC emissions. This improved EMI/EMC performance is not sensitive to … Read More → "42V, 6A (IOUT), Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher 2 Delivers 95% Efficiency at 2MHz & Ultralow EMI/EMC Emissions"
