FEATURED PRODUCTS
High Definition Oscilloscope w/12-Bit ADC
Teledyne LeCroy introduced two series of High Definition Oscilloscopes
with HD4096 high definition technology, the HDO4000 and HDO6000.
Oscilloscopes with HD4096 acquire waveforms with high resolution, high
sample rate, and low noise. Waveform displays are cleaner and crisper
with 16 times more vertical resolution than traditional 8-bit instruments.
The HDO4000 and HDO6000 are available in bandwidths from 200 MHz
to 1 GHz. All HDO models sport a large 12.1” touch-screen display and
intuitive interface to enhance operation and also provide powerful debug
tools, plus a full complement of automatic measurements and waveform
math capabilities. For more information, please click here.
Standalone 4-10 Cell Precision Protector
The bq77910A is a battery protection and cell balancing device intended
for Li-ion and Li-Polymer battery packs.The bq77910A monitors 4- to 10series
individual cell voltages and provides fast-acting outputs which
may be used to drive N-channel MOSFETs to interrupt the power path.
Activation delays and recovery methods for safety conditions are fully
programmable in non-volatile memory. Automatic cell balancing is
provided using internal 50-mA cell circuits. A robust balancing algorithm
ensures optimum performance by maintaining all cell voltages in
balance. For more information, please click here.
First CAN-Based Sensor for Auto Battery Monitoring
Freescale Semiconductor introduced the MM9Z1J638 Xtrinsic battery
sensor, the industry’s first CAN-based battery sensor that accurately
measures the voltage, current and temperature of lead-acid and lithiumion
batteries, as well as calculating the battery state – all while operating
in harsh automotive conditions. Accurate knowledge of these battery
parameters has become critical due to the increase in hybrid vehicles
and overall electronic content, as well as the introduction of start-stop
systems in automobiles. For more information, please click here.
Low Power 16-bit 20Msps ADCs
Linear Technology Corporation introduces three low power 16-bit,
20Msps analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), the LTC2269, LTC2270
and LTC2271, offering the lowest input-referred noise and tight integral
nonlinearity error (INL) for very high precision DC measurements.
With only 46µVRMS input noise and maximum guaranteed INL error
of ±2.3LSB, these ADCs are suitable for very low noise, high linearity
sampling applications such as digital x-ray, infrared and medical
imaging, pachymeters, spectrometry and cytometry. These devices
achieve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance of 84dB and SFDR of
99dB at baseband. For more information, please click here.
