With very low inductance and capacitance, the sockets are ideal for a wide variety of BGA (ball grid array), CSP (chip scale package) and MLF (micro land frame) packages.
Reduced inductance, increased board density and finer pitch array packages are made possible thanks to a four-point crown or sharp point gold plated 0.30 mm pitch probe pin, spring and flanged bottom pin, which contacts the tail of the probe pin to shorten the signal path. A signal path of just 0.077 inches (1.96 mm) allows for minimal signal loss and higher bandwidth capacity with the new Aries’ machined high-frequency sockets.
The solderless pressure mount spring probes allow easy mounting of the socket to a test board and device solder ball or pad, while socket locating posts ensure accurate positioning of the socket to the board. The sockets are equipped with chip guides to allow exact device location and four-point edge male contacts for precise mating of the device. The socket’s small footprint ensures maximum use of the test board area for increased efficiency.
Spring loaded contacts, made of gold-plated beryllium copper, provide a high life cycle of up to 500,000 cycles. Socket body material is Torlon PAI and all hardware is stainless steel.
The socket’s contact forces are 15 g per contact on a 0.30 mm to 0.35 mm pitch, 16 g per contact on a 0.40 mm to 0.45 mm pitch and 25 g per contact on a 0.50 mm pitch or larger. Contact resistance is less than 40 milliohms. Probe self-inductance on the new socket is 0.51 nH for large probes and 0.59 nH for small probes.

Ultra-Low Leakage Medical-Grade Power Supply...
Most AC-DC power supplies and AC line filters use de-coupling capacitors (Y-caps) to control conducted noise. The problem is, de-coupling capacitors increase leakage current. Relying on Y-caps to control noise can cause problems if your application needs to satisfy medical-grade safety certifications.
Even if a power supply is certified medical-grade, combining it with a filter and/or another power supply can cause your application to exceed the 300 microamps leakage limit. The PMA Series of medical-grade AC-DC power supplies has a built-in dual-choke filter that minimizes both leakage and noise. It's like an AC line filter and power supply in one package.
With a 5-year warranty, Cosel's PMA Series AC-DC Switching Power Supply is UL60601-1 approved for non-patient contact devices in medical, dental, and veterinary applications.

Before 1968, audible alarms were all electromechanical devices that used too much power and had mechanical components that eventually wore out. In 1968, the first true electronic alarms hit the market. They featured piezo electric transducers and solid state electronic circuit components, producing a loud sound using much less power and having greater reliability. More than three decades later, not much had changed. Electronic alarms were still being designed with standard circuit components (capacitors, resistors, transistors, etc.) which meant that developing a new sound or model could take a couple of monts because of the prototyping and manual assembly involved. Also, only a limited number of different types of sounds and timings were available due to space limitations and cost.
However, in the mid-2000's, audible alarm technology took another leap forward with the intorduction of micro-controllers as the core technology inside the alarm circuitry. With this technology, the signal that controls the sound is generated by software cosde which is downloaded into a programmable micro-controller mounted on a circuit board (along with other components) to provide the complete circuitry controlling the audible alarm. This allowed the alarms to really "get smart" in a hurry. Unlike the previous generation of "dumb" alarms that made the same sound after being activated, alarms using the new micro-controller technology open up extensive opportunities for designers to develop unique capabilities that can enhance value and increase safety for their equipment, machinery, or vehicles.
With Mallory's SCE Series offering 20 unique sounds in more than 650 different models there are now nearly unlimited number of sound types available, designers can engage in "out-of-the-box" thinking by utilizing alarms that can:
Get louder over time
Speed up or slow down
Automatically turn off after a set time period
Be temporarily silenced by the equipment/vehicle operator while he/she tends to the condition that prompted the alarm
Produce multiple - and unique - warning sounds within the same package
In addition to the design possibilities, the new technology also radically compresses the design cycle itself. Prior to the use of micro-controllers, it could take more than a month to develop a new sound. Now, a unique sound can be created in a single afternoon by re-programming the software. Equally important, physical samples that previously took up to four additional weeks (due to circuit board construction and manual sample building) are now produced in a few days.

PTSM and PTPM miniature connectors...
The PTSM and PTPM connector systems by Phoenix Contact provide reliable, compact connections and are ideal for any situation with space limitations.
The PTSM is the smallest spring-cage fixed product on the market. These fixed PCB terminal blocks are available in both through-hole-reflow and true surface mount. in addition, they offer built-in flexibility; for solid wire applications, a simple PUSH-in can be used. The wire can be terminated either parallel or perpendicular to the printed circuit board. Even though the PTSM stands at only 5mm tall on a 2.5 mm centerline, it is still capable of passing 5 Amps and 150 Volts.
The PTSM is the smallest spring-cage connector solution worldwide. The proven PUSH-in termination technology sets this tiny unit apart from the rest. The PTSM headers are capable of through-hole-reflow and true surface mount. The emerging LED lighting industry has a growing need for true surface mount connectors due to its use of Metal Core Boards (MCBs), which are only used on one side.
The PTPM provides a unique twist by offering another connection to PTSM headers; an insulation piercing contact. The PTPM provides a quick, easy on-site connection for both signal and data on 2.5 mm centerline, despite its height of only 5 mm. These compact dimensions make the PTPM the smallest tool-less conductor connection for the PCB. Simply insert the wire into the entry shaft, depress the levered plastic until it is flush with the connector and you are instantly ready to transmit up to 4 Amps. it is also suitable for Ethernet.

Linear LED Driver with High Voltage Driving Solution...
Supertex, Inc. introduced CL220, a high voltage, temperature-compensated, constant current, LED driver integrated circuit (IC). It is designed to drive a string of LEDs with a constant current of 20mA, and multiple ICs can be used in parallel to provide higher output currents in increments of 20mA. It can be used in a variety of solid-state lighting applications, such as signage, automotive, industrial indicators and accent lighting.
CL220 operates from 5 to 220V, and is trimmed to provide a constant output current of 20mA (+/-10%) at an input voltage of 5 to 160V. It can be used as a two terminal constant current source or constant current sink. CL220’s temperature- compensated output current maintains consistent LED brightness regardless of temperature fluctuations.

Switch Dimmable LED Driver Works With Any Standard Light Switch...
Supertex, Inc. introduced HV9801A, a power saving, switch dimmable, LED driver integrated circuit (IC) designed to drive LEDs in dimmable household and office lighting applications. The IC dims LED lamp brightness to one of four preset levels through simple, rapid toggling of a light switch. Light levels progress up and down sequentially and if the switch is turned off for more than a second, the lamp returns to full brightness.
Switch dimming offers an attractive alternative to TRIAC dimming as it enables dimming of lamps in any location, provides a better quality light source without flicker, and increases energy efficiency through the reduction of the excess circuitry required to accommodate the holding current of the TRIAC dimmer. HV9801A works with all existing light switches and doesn’t require installation of a wall dimmer.
As opposed to many LED driver ICs that utilize peak current control to regulate output current, HV9801A employs a patented average-mode current control method that requires no loop compensation or high side sensing. This proprietary control method provides quick and accurate response to input voltage fluctuations and delivers exceptional accuracy (over 97%) and line and load regulation of the LED current.
“HV9801A is an ideal driver solution for solid-state lighting applications that utilize dimming,” states Stephen Lin, Vice President of Marketing at Supertex. “The IC further builds on Supertex’s history of innovation and recognized leadership in the off- line LED driver IC market.”
Applications: Household and office lighting

It is well suited for a variety of solid-state lighting applications, including TV and monitor backlighting, signage, decorative, and general lighting.
Because of the patented, novel scheme of current control it employs, HV9861A doesn’t produce a peak-to-average error like many LED driver ICs, and therefore, it greatly improves the accuracy and line and load regulation of the LED current. The IC provides typical current accuracy of +/-3% and requires no loop compensation or high- side current sensing because of its proprietary control scheme. The internally regulated voltage (Vdd) for HV9861A is 7.5V.

10.5V Input, Low Power Consumption, High Speed 200mA LDO Regulator...
Torex has developed a 10.5V input, low power consumption, high-speed 200mA LDO regulator. The XC6505 series of LDO regulators achieve load-transient response characteristics (PSRR=60dB@1kHz) on a par with high-speed LDO regulators but with the added benefit of a low power consumption of only 5.5?A.
The input voltage range is 1.7 to 10.5V, makes this series ideal for specifications that require 5V supply, such as applications that operate on a Li-ion two-cell battery, four dry cell batteries, or a 9V dry cell battery, or in the latter stage of 6V output DC/DC. The maximum output current is 200mA and the output voltage range can be set in steps of 0.1V within a range of 1.5 to 8.0V. Voltage accuracy is ±1.0% (2.0 to 8.0V) or ±20mV (1.5 to 1.9V). Dropout voltage is 190mV at 100mA (VOUT=3.3V). The XC6505 series includes current limitation (300mA, TYP.), short circuit protection (110mA, TYP.), and thermal protection.
The XC6505B series includes a CL discharge function that enables high-speed return of the VOUT pin to the VSS level by quickly discharging the charge.

The XCL201/XCL202 series expands our lineup of step-down micro DC/DC converters with integrated coil and control IC. Like our previous converters, an ultra-small size has been achieved with dimensions of 2.5 x 2.0 x h1.0mm, enabling these converters to make a huge contribution to the development of smaller and more lightweight portable devices.
A power source with a maximum load current of 400mA can be configured by simply adding two ceramic capacitors to the micro DC/DC. The operating voltage is 2.0V to 6.0V. The output voltage is fixed and can be selected in steps of 0.05V within the range 0.8 to 4.0V (accuracy ±2.0%). The control IC operates at a switching frequency of 1.2MHz (accuracy ±15%) and uses synchronous rectification with an internal 0.42? P-ch driver transistor and 0.52? N-ch switch transistor. For the operation mode, PWM control (XCL201) or PWM/PFM auto switching control (XCL202) can be selected. The XCL202 freely responds at high speed to a full range of loads from light loads to heavy loads, achieves low ripple and high efficiency, and reduces quiescent current to 1.0?A or less by turning off all circuits during standby. A switching frequency of 1.2MHz is used to improve overall efficiency by 2% to 5% compared to the previous XCL205/XCL206/XCL207. An internal under-voltage lockout (UVLO) function forcibly turns off the internal driver transistor when the input voltage is 1.4V or less.
An internal high-speed soft-start function starts the output voltage at 0.25ms (TYP). A CL discharge function discharges the charge of the load capacitance CL by turning on an internal switch during standby. This makes it possible to rapidly return the output voltage to the VSS level. This environmentally friendly product complies with the EU RoHS directive and is Pb free. Features include:

Winstar Display introduces a new custom design icon-type touch key display solution. The touch key display is built upon cutting-edge capacitive sensing technology which does not require a touch panel on top of the LCD panel. Winstar offers a cost-effective Single Layer ITO solution and a feature-rich Double Layer ITO solution.
The Single Layer ITO touch key patterns and LCD cells share the same ITO layer. Top half of the glass is display and bottom half is touch key buttons. The Double Layer ITO solution allows the display icons be touch buttons as LCD cells and touch patterns are in different ITO layers.
The touch key sensitivity of both solutions are adjustable. Maximum of eight touch buttons are supported for both solutions. The Single Layer ITO solution is currently in production while the Double Layer ITO solution will be coming soon.
