C&K has added a smaller size to its range of vandal-resistant sealed switches for outdoor ATMs, ticket machines and security systems. Called ATP16, the push-buttons fit through a 16mm diameter panel cut-out – and join earlier ATP19 (19mm) and ATP22 (22mm) types. Construction is from a mix of stainless steel, aluminium alloy and the engineering ...

Renesas is claiming 10nV/°C offset drift, 1ppm/°C gain drift and 30nV RMS noise from the analogue front-end (AFE) of its latest microcontrollers “a level that could previously only be achieved by combining dedicated A/D converter circuits with high-precision operational amplifier ICs”, it said. Included monolithically alongside a 32MHz 32-bit RXv2 core, the AFE will appear in ...
