Anglia promotes 3.2-42Vin 120mA out dc-dc buck converter

Analog Devices has introduced a step-down switching regulator that delivers up to 120mA from up to 42V, then shuts down to 2.5μA. Operating down to 3.2V (2.9V typ), the synchronous LT8604 will switch as fast at 2.2MHz and as slow as 200kHz – programmable by resistor. Efficiency can be over 90%. Topology is peak current mode, with ...

Dual-port 400G Ethernet for Anritsu MT1040A tester

Anritsu has announced an option to activate simultaneous dual-port 400G Ethernet measurement for its MT1040A Network Master Pro tester. Activation is purchased as MT1040A-020, which will also enable measurment of four channels of 100Gbit Ethernet. To function, the tester has to be equipped with a pair of 400G modules – either MU104014A or MU104014A-33 (see table ...

40A PCB relay for 3 phase systems with feedback contact

Panasonic is claiming a world-first for a PCB relay that can be used as the main switching element in three phase systems. Called HE-R, the  35 x 58 x 47mm relay has four normally-open contacts (relay class 4a) that can switch up to 40A at an ambient temperature of +85°C. An optional normally-closed contact (relay class ...

Glass chip couples to optical fibres to silicon photonics

Optoscribe is sampling optical fibre to silicon photonics couplers. Branded OptoCplrLT, the devices are monolithic glass light-turning curved mirrors, which direct light to or from silicon-photonic grating couplers. “This prevents the need for bend-tolerant fibre solutions which have some significant limitations in size and profile,” according to the company. Made using a proprietary laser writing ...
