Mouser stocks the ADIS1647x precision industrial inertial measurement units (IMUs) from Analog Devices. The IMUs can be used in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, as well as for navigation in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous vehicles, smart agricultural equipment as well as industrial and IoT devices. The IMUs deliver six degrees of freedom sensing, using triple-axis MEMS-based gyroscopes and ...

Three phase EMC filters for motor drives
Schaffner is claiming to have created a milestone in three-phase filtering with “the most compact and most modern solution in the market today”. And then it said: “these filters are based on a new design structure, resulting in a significant footprint reduction and have their connection terminals integrated within the filter enclosure.” And then it didn’t provide any dimensions. But ...
Thyristors and diodes for automotive
Aiming at on-board battery chargers, Vishay has released a family of high-voltage thyristors and diodes qualified to AEC-Q101. There are 37 all together, in three packages: surface-mount DPAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263AB) through-hole TO-247AD The nine thyristors deliver continuous on-state current from 12 to 79A rms, while the diodes, both standard and fast recovery types, offer forward current from 8 to ...
EW: Video Interview – ADI building to sense, measure, power, connect and interpret
At Embedded World 2018, we caught up with Stefan Steyerl of Analog Devices.
1MHz rail-to-rail op-amp draws only 55μA
Microchip’s MCP6411 operational amplifier can operate with a single supply voltage as low as 1.7V, while drawing 55μA quiescent current (max). Called MCP6411, input offset is ±1.0mV max, and both input and output operate rail-to-rail. Compensation means it is unity gain stable, and it has a gain bandwidth product of 1 MHz (typ). “The MCP6411 has enhanced EMI protection to ...
Toshiba boosts in-car audio amplifier range
Toshiba Electronics Europe has added a 45W (4Ω load) four-channel audio power amplifier to its in-car entertainment range. TCB001FNG is based upon a complementary MOS process with n and p-channel DMOS fets. Supply can vary across 6 to 18V, allowing operation while the engine is idling or cranking. “The product includes functions to detect and prevent abnormal noise with Toshiba’s ...
LTC7815 DC/DC controller maintains output voltages during battery droop
The LTC7815 Power-By-Linear IC is a high frequency (up to 2.25MHz) triple output (buck, buck, boost), synchronous DC/DC controller that maintains all output voltages in regulation during automotive cold crank conditions. A 12V automotive battery can droop to less than 4 volts during engine restart or cold crank, causing reset of infotainment systems and other electronics that operate from 5 ...
Automotive regulators handle 60V inputs
Diodes has used a simple emitter-follower design to create linear voltage regulators that work with inputs up to 60V in automotive environments. The ZXTR2105FQ, ZXTR2108FQ and ZXTR2112FQ are designed to deliver 5V, 8V, or 12V regulated outputs respectively from nominal battery supplies of 12V or 24V at up to 15mA. “These devices can tolerate battery voltage spikes up to 60V, ...
Updated: X-FAB adds to low-noise transistor portfolio
X-FAB has added three new low-noise transistors to its 180nm process node: a 1.8 V low-noise NMOS, a 3.3 V low-noise NMOS and a 3.3 V low-noise PMOS – all of which offer drastically reduced flicker noise compared to standard CMOS offerings. For transistor specs, see table below These transistors are mainly designed for sensor deployments which require very low-noise signal ...
25V mosfet gets down to 0.58mΩ and 61nC
Vishay has introduced a 25V n-channel power mosfet that it claims has industry’s lowest maximum on-resistance: 0.58mΩ at 10V, and lowest gate charge and gate charge times on-resistance figure of merit for devices with on-resistance below 0.6mΩ – although the firm went on to say: “the device released today is one of the only two 25V mosfets in the world ...
