World's Smallest
Oscilloscope
|
 We recently introduced Xprotolab -
the first mixed-signal oscilloscope with a built-in arbitrary waveform
generator - all housed in a tiny 1" x 1.6" DIP module with a
0.96" 128x64 pixel OLED display! It can be mounted directly on a
breadboard or pcb for in
situ testing and verification. Based on Atmel's ATXMEGA32A4
microcontroller, with 32KB Flash, 4KB SRAM, and 1KB EEPROM, Xprotolab can
also be used as a development board for AVR's XMEGA microcontroller.
Amazingly, most features found on today's scopes are present in
Xprotolab - even an external trigger! They sell out as fast
as we get them in stock! More...

PL2771 SuperSpeed USB3.0 to SATAll
Bridge Controller
|
|
 PL2771 is
a single-chip SuperSpeed USB3.0 to SATAII compliant bridge controller,
designed to transfer data between USB3.0 and SATAII devices at the latest
USB3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gb/s transfer rates (10 times faster than
USB2.0). PL2771
also contains an internal embedded high performance 8-bit microcontroller
that can be used to support versatile system applications such as
one-button backup, power control, and other features for USB
connection. More...

VUB300
SD-USB Host IC
|
 VUB300 is
a tiny 6x6mm QFN IC that converts a USB interface to an SDIO Host
Interface. This single-chip USB/SDIO bridge allows
SecureDigital-compliant devices to be connected to any host PC via USB. A
growing number of wireless modem chipsets are moving to SDIO as the preferred
data interface and VUB300
is the ideal solution when, for example, a target system has no spare
SDIO ports available. More...

SPI
Storm
|
 The latest USB2.0 box from Byte
Paradigm is the world's first Serial Protocol Host Adapter supporting
dual- and quad-SPI protocols. SPI Storm can access ASICs, SoCs,
FPGAs and other digital embedded systems that use serial protocols, at
speeds of up to 100 MHz at the I/O lines. Various serial protocols can be
chosen from a standard library that includes: SPI (Serial Peripheral
Interface), variants of SPI on 3 wires, and for the first time, dual-SPI
and quad-SPI protocols. SPI Storm Studio software, provided free with SPI
Storm, allows user-specific definition of custom protocols, including
those requiring bi-directional signal lines. See SPI Storm at the
Embedded Systems show in San Jose (May 2-4). More...

LoadSense
Smart Load Sensor
|
 The battery-powered LoadSense™ is a
unique intelligent load sensor that can be integrated into a
handling device such as a crane hook, hoist, or fork lift for
intelligent, real-time feedback of loading events. It has an on-board
single-chip computer for recording, analyzing and archiving readings, and
wireless transfer of immediate data to a host computer. LoadSense
provides the up-to-date information needed to optimize efficiency and
increase profitability in a wide range of industrial operations, allowing
weight measurement processes to be easily integrated with handling
operations. All live data is captured in real time and can be transferred
to a database, stored, totaled and analyzed on-the-spot. LoadSense
automatically begins transmitting data when used, and no special training
is required to install or operate the unit. More...

efficiency for heavy duty industrial applications. Watch our training video for
more detailed information.
· Dual High voltage AC/DC and
low voltage DC hot-swappable power supplies in a 1.5U
rack-mount package: for redundancy and increased reliability.
· Precision timing, full IEEE
1588v2 implementation: High precision IEEE 1588v2 timing synchronization
with precision as low as single-digit nanoseconds, making it an ideal
solution for the power utilities market.

Low-Cost
Temperature Transmitters
|
|
The ST131 is a low
cost two-wire transmitter just introduced by Amplicon that converts a 100
ohm platinum RTD sensor input to a proportional 4-20mA signal. This
ASIC-driven RTD transmitter offers convenient PC-based setup through a
USB interface and the performance advantages of analog signal conditioning.
The key features and benefits of the ST131 transmitter include:
· Easy set up and digital
calibration via USB with Windows-based configuration software.
· Flexible RTD or linear
resistance input ranges.
· Supports any 100 ohm Pt RTD.
· High accuracy and linearity.
· Fast response time (<500µ
S).
· Advanced analog signal
conditioning ASIC eliminates digitalization errors.
