Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTC4418, a dual input power prioritizer for 2.5V to 40V systems. To enable portability, preserve memory during brownouts, and ensure a graceful shutdown on power loss, electronic systems employ batteries and capacitors for backup power. The LTC4418 normally powers the load from the higher priority main supply such as a wall adapter or main battery, switching to the backup supply—typically a battery or large value capacitor—during primary brownout or power loss conditions.

Nano Dimension Ltd., a leader in the field of 3D printed electronics (NASDAQ, TASE: NNDM), today announced the commercial availability of the DragonFly™ 2020 Pro 3D Printer. With the DragonFly 2020 Pro, many of the complexities and bottlenecks inherent in printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping are removed, allowing companies involved in developing electronics to take control of their development cycles and realize the benefits of fast, secure and cost-effective agile electronics development. Designers and engineers can now innovate rapidly from proof of concept, through design validation to test fixtures, by 3D printing their own multilayer PCBs.

The Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the University of Innsbruck, Austria has chosen a Spectrum Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) to generate a wide variety of signals for their research.  Because of the variety of experiments that it would be used for, it was important to have an AWG that is easy to program using a PC so that the output could be easily customised to each use.  A Spectrum Instrumentation M4i.6631-x8 was selected because, being on a PCI Express card, it could be incorporated into a PC and directly driven by it.

RIGOL Technologies introduces its new DS2000E Series Oscilloscope, a 200MHz, 2 channel scope that continues RIGOL‘s tradition of combining a high level of capabilities at a good price.

Passive Plus, Inc. (PPI) now offers Tin/Lead termination for the Traditional High Q/Low ESR line of capacitors. PPI’s Tin/Lead plated termination is composed of 90%Sn 10%Pb solder (SnPb 90/10) over a nickel plating. All parts meet or exceed MIL-PRF-55681 and MIL-PRF-123.

Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTM4651, a nonisolated inverting output µModule^® regulator that can generate –26.5V to –0.5V output from a positive input supply voltage. The LTM4651 operates over a 3.6V to 58V input voltage range and is housed in a 15mm x 9mm x 5.01mm BGA package, a compact solution, providing –5VOUT, –12VOUT, –15VOUT and –24VOUT from industrial standard 5VIN, 12VIN or 24VIN supplies.

Zuken USA, Inc, is again participating in PCB West, to be held September 12-14 in Santa Clara, CA. The event includes a three-day technical conference and one-day exhibition to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Zuken and Nano Dimension will share a booth and showcase the latest technologies for PCB Design for Manufacture (DfM) and 3D printing. Zuken’s CR-8000 Design Force DfM software provides a platform to automate the process of applying the necessary rules for different board technologies, including flex, with the benefit of improving design quality and manufacturing yields. This software incorporates a database of design rules for many different manufacturing processes that take into account materials and technologies.

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”) today announced the industry’s first complete 100G Single Lambda Solution that enables the cost structure with the supply-chain flexibility for mainstream Cloud Data Center deployment. Designed to help accelerate the deployment of 100G optical interconnects at Cloud-scale cost structures, MACOM’s 100G Single Lambda Solution enables customers to quickly and easily integrate high-performance MACOM components and get to market faster with the next generation of 100G optical modules.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced innovative enhancements for the M8040A high-performance bit error ratio tester (BERT) solution for testing PAM-4 and NRZ devices that operate up to 64 GBaud. Engineers in validation labs and R&D who characterize receivers on the physical layer for emerging 400G data center interconnects will benefit from simplified test setups and repeatable and accurate results.
