With the X30 FA and X36 FA, industrial camera manufacturer IDS is launching two 3D camera systems specifically designed for use in harsh ambient conditions.

Murata's BLM31KN_BH series of chip ferrite beads are aimed at the automotive market for use as noise suppression components in power line circuits installed in engine bays and LED headlights that require guaranteed performance at high temperatures up to 150ºC.

Toshiba Electronics TB67H452FTG 4-channel H-bridge motor driver IC delivers up to 3.5A and 40V for driving motors in electric tools, surveillance cameras and small domestic robots.

andersDX has added a round AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED) display to its range for wearable and instrumentation applications, complementing the circular PMOLED and touchscreen modules that it already offers.

Using a new-generation 3.75 µm pixel, Sony’s 1/2” IMX385 Full HD sensor relies on the company's super high conversion gain technology to deliver high image quality even in low light conditions, with a sensitivity doubled (2350 mV) compared to the IMX185.

TDK Corporation's iJC series of 100A Point of Load (POL) non-isolated DC-DC converters use adaptive digital control to deliver improved transient response and system stability across a wide range of output capacitance.

Nor Flash, in contrast to NAND Flash, is typically used to store program code and parametric data. Cypress Semiconductor’s new NOR Flash chips are designed for this kind of applications. The devices with densities of 64 and 128 Mb meet automotive requirement in accordance with AEC-Q100 and operate at extended temperatures. These new densities complement the vendor’s existing 256Mb product lineup.

A USB reinforced isolator, Linear Technology’s LTM2894 guards against ground-to-ground voltage differentials and large common-mode transients. It separates grounds by isolating a pair of USB signal transceivers using internal signal isolation, providing 7500 VRMS isolation for 1 minute, plus common-mode rejection of greater than 50 kV/µs

Following its acquisition of Atmel, Microchip has announced a new generation of 8-bit tinyAVR MCUs. From its PIC series, Microchip has applied the concept of core independent peripherals, that can exchange data without waking the main processor core, and implemented it in the tinyAVRs.

Linear Technology’s LTC5596 RMS power detector has a wide RF input bandwidth of 100 MHz to 40 GHz with a linear dynamic range of 35 dB. The device responds in a log-linear 29-mV/dB scale to signal levels ranging from -37 dBm to -2 dBm, with less than ±1-dB error from 200 MHz to 30 GHz. In addition, the LTC5596’s response has ±1-dB flatness within this frequency range.
