How do FPGA manufacturers protect their devices against counterfeiting and theft of IP? By Tony Storey, Applications Engineer, Digi-Key
A new DC-DC converter module based on hybrid regulated ratio (HRR) technology, the innovative PKM4817LNH has been unveiled by Ericsson. The module is optimized for parallel operation to power 2200W boards in extreme-data-demand applications in the datacom industry.
Pericom’s PI6C5916004 6GHz high-performance, low <20ps skew 1-to-4 LVPECL fanout buffer offers four pairs of differential LVPECL outputs, input clock frequency up to 6GHz (typical), low additive jitter of <0.05ps (max.), and a power supply of 3.3V ±10% or 2.5V ±5%. PI6C5916004′s CLK inputs accept LVPECL, LVDS, CML and SSTL signals.
A new line of broadband log video amplifiers covering multi-octave bandwidths from 0.5GHz to 18GHz has been introduced by Pasternack. The five models being released include four successive detection Log video amplifiers (SDLVA), and one detector log video amplifier (DLVA), which offer a wide input dynamic range, high signal sensitivity, fast recovery times and high temperature stability.
Improvements in technology, combined with changes in design priorities, mean silicon-based devices now present a serious alternative to GaAs in high-performance RF and microwave systems. By Chris Stephens, Senior Director, IDT RF Division
Combining high thermal conductivity with high conformability, Bergquist has announced its latest Gap Pad HC 3.0 gap filler, creating a high-performance thermal material for applications where low assembly stress is a must.
XP Power today announced the publication of The Essential Guide To Power Supplies. Written as a technical guide for equipment design engineers and specifiers of power supplies, the 156-page guide is a reader-friendly reference for understanding all major aspects of AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters and their integration into today’s electronic equipment.
Infineon’s compact signal power MOSFETs are in seven industry-standard package types ranging from the largest SOT-223 down to the smallest SOT-363 measuring 2.1mm x 2mm x 0.9mm. The devices are offered in single, dual and complementary configurations. They are available in N-Channel, P-Channel or Complementary (both P-Channel and N-Channel within the same package) versions to meet a variety of design requirements.
GTK has expanded its range of removable memory card connectors to include a new hinged MicroSD card connector and a combined MicroSD / SIM connector. The hinged connector is ideal for use in applications where high vibration or shock is a potential issue, as the robust hinge locks the card securely in place. The connector has SMT pins and a height of only 1.8mm.
King Bright’s APT surface-mount LEDs has been announced. The versatile LEDs are designed to meet a wide variety of applications – from portable devices, consumer electronics, industrial handheld devices and more. They have low-power consumption and wide viewing angles.
