Vishay announced a Bulk Metal surface-mount Power Metal Strip resistor that features an improved load-life stability of ±0.05% at +70°C for 2000 hours at rated power, an absolute TCR of ±15PPM/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C Ref., and a tolerance of ±0.1%. Typical current sensing resistors offer a lo...
Most smart phones today require some combination of backlight LED drivers for a main display, sometimes additional LED drivers for a smaller sub-display, one or more flash LED drivers, and LDOs to power the embedded camera. By rolling all these functions in various configurations into a single IC, A...
AVX’s TAW series of fused tantalum capacitors protect against damaging high DC leakage currents at high currents. Short circuit failure mode protection is accomplished using an internal fuse connected in series with the capacitor.
When the fuse exceeds its current limit, the fused capacitor will...
Analog Devices introduced a microcontroller family with data conversion. The ADuC706x family expands ADI’s analog microcontroller portfolio by incorporating two 24-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters and a host of analog peripherals with a 32-bit ARM7 core.
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has launched a miniature photocoupler that combines an isolation voltage rating of 3.75kV with switching speeds that are up to two and a half times faster than previously available devices.
Toshiba’s TLP117 photocoupler integrates a high-speed GaAlAs infrared LED...
AnalogicTech has introduced the AAT2848, a trimode charge pump driver IC for white LED (WLED) backlight display and flash applications. By integrating four backlight channels capable of driving up to 30mA each with two flash channels capable of driving up to 300mA each, or 600mA in parallel, in a sm...
