Spectrum Instrumentation has used its modular design philosophy to create a solution for customers wanting multi-channel AWGs. Having 8 AWG channels on a single PCIe-card only 168 mm in length offers great new opportunities for very compact and affordable test systems. The addition of the two new 8-channel-cards to Spectrum's latest "65" series of PCIe Arbitrary waveform generators means that, using Spectrum's Star-Hub, up to 80 channels can be fully synchronized in a single PC.

SIGLENT Technologies has introduced the SDL1000X and SDL1000X-E series of programmable electronic DC Loads, which are designed for battery, solar cell, and power supply testing. The SDL1020X/X-E models offer an input range of 150 V/30 A with 200 W total power dissipation, while the SDL1030X/X-E’s have an input range of 150 V/30 A up-to 300 W.

Covering a surface area of 2.3mm x 1.2mm and with a 2mm height, Harwin reports that its S0911-46R shield can clip is the smallest surface mount EMI/RFI shield clip currently available on the market.

Passive Plus, Inc.’s brand new Capacitor Application Program (C.A.P.) helps engineers and designers select capacitors according to parameters such as cap value and frequency. C.A.P. will provide options (case size, terminations, mounting), and parameters (ESR, Q, impedance) along with datasheets.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced a new dynamic power device analyzer with double-pulse tester (PD1500A) to deliver reliable, repeatable measurements of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, while ensuring the safety of the measurement hardware and the professionals performing the tests.

The Open Eye Consortium announced the establishment of its Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) outlining its mission to standardize advanced specifications for lower latency, more power efficient and lower cost optical modules targeting 50Gbps, 100Gbps, 200Gbps, and up to 400Gbps optical modules for datacenter interconnects over single-mode and multimode fiber.

MACOM, announced an analog and silicon photonics portfolio for seamless integration in 50Gbps, 100Gbps, 200Gbps and 400Gbps optical modules targeted for compliance with the newly formed Open Eye Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).

At PCIM 2019, imec, announced that it demonstrated a functional GaN half-bridge monolithically integrated with drivers. Mounted on a buck-convertor test board, the chip converts an input voltage of 48 Volt to an output voltage of 1 Volt, with a pulse width modulation signal of 1 MHz.

The R&S CMX500 radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz brings extensive device testing capabilities to the market, covering standalone (SA), non-standalone (NSA), TDD, FDD, FR1 and FR2.

Littelfuse, Inc. introduced two series of bidirectional TVS Diode Arrays (SPA^® Diodes) designed to protect high speed consumer electronics interfaces from damaging electrostatic discharge (ESD) in applications where PCB layout is especially challenging.
