Transense and TMS320F28x Device Brings Complete Control System Capabilities For Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems and Torque Sensing

The LA 300 series is optimised for industrial applications and the transducers are characterised for temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. The LAC 300 series is optimised for traction applications and meets the EN 50155 standard for vibration, temperature and pollution.

The company has nearly a dozen automotive applications identified but the Bend Sensor's potential in this industry is nearly limitless. Anywhere a switch is needed, whether it is a control for seats, window or horn switches and radio buttons, the sensors can meet the need. Over the past year the company has worked on a number of applications at the request of auto manufacturers and suppliers.

Explosive growth in the LED market and increasing demand for large-diameter sapphire wafers spur need for expanded manufacturing capacity

ATSC Digital TV Receiver with Unprecedented Performance. The S5H1411 offers a higher reception success rate than other devices in multi-path environments where signal interference is high, such as densely populated urban areas; dynamic environments with serious signal distortion among many moving vehicles; environments with major signal phase errors because of cable retransmission and remote areas where reception is generally poor.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Protects computers from damaging voltage spikes and surges
NEW SeaLATCHTM locking USB connectors prevent accidental cable disconnection
Provides power to USB peripherals
Rugged metal enclosure suitable for industrial environments

The involvement of the world’s leading sensor manufacturers in a new non-proprietary inductive connector system will allow users to retain their tried and tested pH electrodes, without depending on sensors from a single manufacturer.

The LTC2493 communicates via a 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interface and measures four single-ended or 2 differential analog inputs in a tiny 4mm x 3mm DFN package, consuming just 300uA(max). The LTC2493's novel Easy DriveTM architecture results in zero average differential input current, allowing measurements of high impedance input sources without the use of an internal buffer.

The EM4205 and EM4305 chips comply with the ISO 11784 and 11785 RFID standards, developed for transponders that meet livestock tracking requirements. The ICs can be encoded to meet to the EN14803 waste management standard, EM Microelectronic reports, and they can also be used in tags for physical access control.

Mikoh has also revealed its first contract manufacturer that will help the company bring the tags to market. The security solutions provider is teaming up with Twinlinx, a French chip maker, to manufacture 13.56 MHz chips compliant with the ISO 15693 and 14443 air-interface standards.
