Multi-axis stretchable force and movement sensors can be too stretchy, allowing measurement in one axis to produce errors in another. At least, that is the finding of Yokohama National University. The problem is that forces propagate too far in very stretchy materials, causing unwanted interaction. To prevent this, a Yokohama team has used a very ...

Diodes has entered the precision low-voltage low-power op-amp fray with a dual-channel 8μV(typ) input offset voltage device consuming 12μA quiescent per amplifier. AS2333, as it will be known, uses chopper stabilisation which reduces drift over time and temperature. Operation is across 1.8V to 5.5V and -40°C to +125°C, and it has rail-to-rail inputs (100mV beyond rails) ...

Rohm recently introduced a low-power 600V-tolerant zero-crossing detection chip, intended to cut energy wastage in home appliances by reducing sense current through the high voltage monitoring connections. As well as detecting the mains zero crossing waveform, certain versions offer a buffered dc output voltage proportional to the mains dc link voltage. Called BM1ZxxxFJ, the series ...
