Microchip has announced low-power DACs that self-configure at power-up, using internal non-volatile memory instead of host processor intervention. They are DACs with multiple channels, built-in EEPROM, a built-in reference and an I2C interface: MCP47FEBx4 quad channel MCP47FEBx8 octo channel MCP48 parts have similar functions, but with SPI replacing the I2C interface. There are 8bit, 10bit ...

In tests conducted with Yamaguchi-University, Stanley Electric has achieved 99.9% ‘inactivation’ of Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV-2 using its aluminium nitride-based 265 nm UV-C leds. Inactivation here, said the company, is defined as the inability to multiply after exposure through damage to DNA and RNA. “10ml of virus solutions [5 x 105 PFU/ml] in dishes were irradiated ...
