Features

Rutronik is now stocking the SOM-6894, a new COM Express 2.1 Compact Module in Type 6 pin-out module board from Advantech. It has been designed with the latest 4th generation Intel Core i7-4650U vPro, i5-4300U vPro, i3-4010U processors, the Intel Celeron processor 2980U which integrates the CPU and PCH onto one single chip, resulting in lower power consumption but better CPU and GT3, GT2 and GT1 graphics performance.

Dialog Semiconductor has unveiled a high efficiency AC/DC adapter interface IC for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 power supplies. The new iW620 rapid charge interface IC resides on the secondary side of the AC/DC charger power supply and works with Dialog’s iW1760 PrimAccurate primary-side digital pulse width modulation (PWM) controller.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC3874, a dual phase synchronous step-down slave controller that generates currents up to 300A when paired with a companion master controller by extending the phase count in multiphase applications.

TTI is stocking TE Connectivity’s Micro-MaTch connectors. These connectors offer contact spacing of 1.27mm and are fully compliant with current electronic packaging requirements. The Micro-MaTch system offers a range of board and wire connectors, enabling a variety of wire-to-board and board-to-board interconnections.

International Rectifier has introduced the HTH27022S and HTM27092S, isolated hybrid hermetic DC-DC converters for high temperature and high shock environments such as oil drilling applications and mud turbine generators.

Rutronik is to distribute the new mini-ITX mainboard D3243-S from Fujitsu, starting at the end of the first quarter of 2014. It is based on the Intel Q87 Express chipset and supports DDR3 1333/1600 SDRAM memory components as well as the complete range of 4th-generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors with LGA1150 sockets.

Industrial LCD manufacturer KOE Europe has introduced a new 6.5-inch Rugged+ TFT display. The TX17D200VM0BAA features IPS (in-plane-switching) technology which provides exceptional optical performance, a 16:9 wide aspect ratio and WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution. Rugged+ displays are designed to provide a high performance display solution for high reliability and harsh environment applications.

New to the Alpha Micro product portfolio is the SARA-U2 series from u-blox. Said to be the industry"s smallest surface mount UMTS/HSPA cellular modems, they are suitable for a wide range of industrial M2M, vehicle and consumer applications. The new SARA product line is available either as a 3G only version, or with 2G fall-back capability.

HARTING has introduced a range of Gigabit cabling components designed to extend the scope of industrial PROFINET applications into the Gigabit Ethernet range. Until now, PROFINET solutions have been based on Fast Ethernet operating at 100 Mbit/s, but theses new products, which include all the familiar Fast Ethernet RJ45 PROFINET cabling components, will allow future PROFINET applications to work in conjunction with a Gigabit Ethernet platform.

Molex Incorporated has announced the expansion of its line of SST Communication Modules with the launch of its new CLXT Modules, designed for use with Rockwell ControlLogix XT PLCs in harsh and corrosive industrial environments.
