With its tiny 1.2mm x 1.3mm outline and typical current of only 900nA, the TSU111 nano-power op amp helps cut the size and energy needs of analogue circuits to the bare minimum in medical monitors, wearable electronics, gas detectors, pH sensors, infrared motion sensors, and payment tags. The TSU111’s low operating current is on par … Continue reading Nano amp allows devices to run longer as battery discharges →

Segway has debuted its One S1 at brick and mortar retailers throughout North America. “It makes great sense to unveil the One S1 to retail buyers at CES and give them a unique opportunity to evaluate its features, accessories and point of purchase displays first-hand, as well as see a comprehensive product demonstration, check out … Continue reading Segway releases cool-looking One S1 →

Battery manufacturers seeking to extend flight times for airborne drones can look to Australian nanotechnology start-up Nano-Nouvelle as a company who is developing a solution to the issue. The Sunshine Coast-based company is developing nanotechnology that can boost the energy storage capacity of lithium ion batteries by as much as 50 per cent. This year, … Continue reading Aussie company working to extend drone battery life →

What next after OLED televisions? How about an invisible television? One that ‘melts’ into the background when it is switched off. Earlier this week Panasonic unveiled its latest version of a television that is almost invisible to the naked eye when in ‘off’ mode. Shown at the CEATEC electronics expo in Japan, the unit looks … Continue reading Invisible television on its way →

e2v, a leader in the high-reliability semiconductor market, and Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, have introduced the PE97640, an ultra-low phase noise FRAC-N phase-locked loop (PLL) for commercial space applications. Available exclusively through e2v, the PE97640 is the first new space product since e2v … Continue reading Ultra-low phase noise phase-locked loop for commercial applications →

Conxall Mini-Con-X and Switchcraft EN3s are now available with 2-Metre cable for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 position connectors with straight or right angle overmoulds. The cable is able to withstand harsh environments, is blunt cut on the opposite end for maximum flexibility and colour coded tissue paper separates conductor wires for easy … Continue reading 2m cables with new position connectors →
