25V, 600mA Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converters Consume Only 1.6µA of Quiescent Current

August 23, 2016

MILPITAS, CA – August 23, 2016 – Linear Technology announces the LTC3130 and LTC3130-1 synchronous current mode buck-boost converters that deliver up to 600mA of continuous output current from a wide variety of input sources, including single- or multiple-cell batteries as well as solar panels and supercapacitors. Their 2.4V to 25V input voltage range and 1V to 25V output range (LTC3130 is adjustable) provide a regulated output with inputs above, below or equal to the output. User selectable Burst Mode® operation lowers quiescent current to only 1.6µA (1.2µA at no load) improving light load efficiency and extending battery run time. The proprietary … Read More → "25V, 600mA Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converters Consume Only 1.6µA of Quiescent Current"

Vishay Intertechnology Adds Industry’s First Ferrite Bead Impedance Calculator to Website

August 22, 2016

MALVERN, Pa. — Aug. 22, 2016 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that its Vishay Inductors Division has introduced the industry’s first online ferrite bead impedance calculator. Available at www.vishay.com/inductors/ferrite-bead-calculator/, the time-saving online tool makes it simple to find the impedance of Vishay’s most popular surface-mount ferrite beads at any given frequency and calculate the effective impedance at the stated frequency with DC bias applied.

To help designers easily incorporate Vishay’s surface-mount ferrite beads into any application for filtering, the new calculator eliminates the need to determine impedance information from the Z … Read More → "Vishay Intertechnology Adds Industry’s First Ferrite Bead Impedance Calculator to Website"

Innovative gas sensors from ams enable new Cling VOC fitness wristband to measure indoor air quality and alcohol in breath

August 18, 2016

Cambridge, UK + Premstaetten, Austria (16 August, 2016) — Cambridge CMOS Sensors Ltd, a member of the ams group, today announced that Chinese wearable device manufacturer HiCling is using its ultra-low power gas sensors to enable the new Cling VOC smart fitness wristband to measure indoor air quality and alcohol in breath.

The CCS801 gas sensor integrated in the Cling VOC wristband can detect low levels of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) typically found indoors. In the Cling VOC wristband, these VOC measurements are used to provide an indication of air quality on the band’s display. The wristband can also provide … Read More → "Innovative gas sensors from ams enable new Cling VOC fitness wristband to measure indoor air quality and alcohol in breath"
