Cree introduces the XLamp XB-D LED. The LED delivers twice the lumens-per-dollar of other LEDs, in a footprint of 2.45mm x 2.45mm. The device is 48 percent smaller than the XLamp XP package and ideal for lighting applications where high lumen density and compact light sources are required. Leve...

Infineon introduced a new series of TVS Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppression). The products improve system’s robustness against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events that can cause serious catastrophic or latent disturbances in consumer electronics products such as smart phones, tablets, eBooks and ...

Sharp presents a new generation of 10W LED arrays. The 2nd generation of the 10W Mini Zeni variant is available with a (typical) CRI value of 82. Sharp has retained the dimensions of 15 x 12 x 1.6 millimetres unchanged, along with an aluminium ceramic plate as carrier material. The flat surface o...

CML Microcircuits has added a Direct Conversion Receiver IC (DCRx) to its family of RF Integrated Circuits. The CMX994 targets the next generation of multi-mode Software Defined Radios (SDR) for wireless data and two-way radio applications. Its design provides the optimum route for on-board integrat...

Murata announced the GJM02 series of monolithic ceramic chip capacitors (MLCC) specifically designed for use in high frequency module applications such as for coupling in power amplifiers of cellular phone handsets. The 01005 size (EIA) Hi Q type MLCC measures 0.4mm x 0.2mm and has both high ‘Q’ and...

Linear Technology introduces the LTC2758, a dual, 18-bit, current output digital-to-analog converter. The LTC2758 offers 18-bit DC specifications, including ±1LSB (max) INL and DNL over temperature. In addition the LTC2758 offers settling of 2.1µs and 0.4nV•s (3V), 2nV•s (5V) glitch impulse.
