Sharp Microelectronics is expanding its family of photocouplers by adding some components for specific models with transfer rates of 1Mbit, 10Mbit or 25 Mbit per second. Whereas all high-speed photocouplers function within an ambient temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius, the 1 Mbit couple...

International Rectifier has introduced four Schottky diodes that are smaller and more efficient than typical industry-standard Schottky devices. Offered in chip-scale packages (CSP), these 0.5A and 1.0A devices are siuted for handheld and portable equipment. The 30-volt IR0530CSP and 40-volt IR...

Texas Instruments announced a 4-20mA transmitter in a MSOP-8 package. Featuring low offset and span errors, the XTR117 offers a power consumption of 250µA max and a operating voltage range of 7.5V to 40V. The device operates over the extended industrial temperature range of -40C to 125C. The XTR117 ...

Vishay announced a 1/10-W surface-mount Power Metal Strip resistor that combines a 15-mOhm to 100-mOhm resistance value range, a tolerance of 1%, and RTC values down to ±75 ppm/C°.  Available in the 0603 package size, the WSL0603 resistor serves in all types of current-sensing, voltage division...

The new tantalum polymer capacitors from AVX deliver capacitance values in 0805, R case size (100µF, 4V); 1206, A case size (47 µF, 6.3V) and 1210, B case size (10 µF, 6.3V). The parts offer a 125 degC operating temperature range and  guarantee low ESR. AVX tantalum polymer capacitors are capab...

Analog Devices introduced a JFET (junction field effect transistor)-input op amp (operational amplifier) and a family of low power voltage references that have been optimized to achieve high precision, small footprint and low power consumption for industrial and instrumentation applications.

Anal...

Texas Instruments introduced the operational amplifier OPA567 designed for driving a wide variety of loads while operating on low-voltage supplies. This unity gain stable device has rail-to-rail swing on the input and output. The output swing is within 300mV of the supply rails with output curr...
