Power electronics technology efficiently converts AC to DC without PFC inductor
Saelig Company, Inc. has announced Pulsiv OSMIUM, a novel patented power electronics technology for efficiently converting AC to DC that involves charging/discharging a small storage capacitor without the need for a PFC inductor. The OSMIUM microcontroller family and supporting components can be combined with commodity flyback DC-DC converters to displace higher-cost LLC solutions, achieving an […]
VXOs boast ultra-low jitter
Saelig Company, Inc. has launched a new range of surface mount voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO) from frequency control specialist Euroquartz, offering high-frequency outputs with ultra-low phase jitter performance. The new EG-JF series offers frequencies from 15 to 2100MHz for CMOS, LVPECL, LVDS, and CML differential outputs and 15 to 700MHz for HCSL differential outputs. The […]
RF signal generators cover 10 MHz to 18 GHz range
The Boonton SGX1000 RF Signal Generators are a new series of instruments that combine high performance RF signal generation capabilities with an intuitive user interface. They cover a frequency range from 10 MHz to 18 GHz to provide superior operational performance such as extremely fast frequency switching, phase noise figures as low as -123 dBc/Hz […]
Kit verifies isolation effectiveness of RF shielded enclosures
The JRE TVK Isolation Tester can help verify the proper shielding isolation of RF enclosure test set-ups. This test combination, consisting of the STA-1, a sensitive handheld spectrum analyzer, and the HPSS-1, a high power 2.45-GHz test signal source, can easily and quickly measure enclosure isolation down to less than -100 dB. The TVK Isolation […]
Ruggedized clock oscillator provides 2 MHz to 60 MHz for industrial apps
Saelig Company has launched the Euroquartz EQXO-75UIE Extended Industrial Temperature Ruggedized High-Reliability Oscillators. The EQXO-75UIE series is a ruggedized high-reliability SMD clock oscillator. Designed for demanding industrial applications, it provides reliable operation with excellent frequency stability across an extended industrial operating temp range of -40° C to +105° C. Mechanical shock survivability has been tested […]
Detecting counterfeit integrated circuits without a microscope
Curve-trace testing can reveal whether an incoming batch of ICs are bogus without resorting to destructive inspection measures. Alan Lowne | Saelig Making fake “lookalike” integrated circuits which resemble real ones takes minimal skill. It may simply require finding cheap parts in the same package and applying new markings. This problem has arisen due to […]
UHF modules handle narrow-band Tx/Rx tasks
Saelig Company, Inc. has announced the compact, multi-channel CDP-07M UHF Narrow-Band Transmitter/Receiver Pair: CDP-TX-07M (transmitter) and CDP-RX-07M (receiver). The modules contain almost all of the components necessary for radio transmission in a compact housing. The newly released CDP-TX-07M and CDP-RX-07M inherit the compact, high-functionality, high-quality concept of their first-generation models, and function as 434MHz 10mW ISM band radio modules, […]
Two/four-channel 100-350 MHz scopes feature 200-Mpt memory, 10-in touch-screen, external mouse/keyboard control, 50-MHz waveform generator
The new Siglent SDS2000X Plus Digital Oscilloscope Series consists of four models: one two-channel 100-MHz bandwidth (software upgradeable to 350 MHz) and three four-channel models (100/200/350 MHz.) The 350-MHz models can be upgraded to 500 MHz on two independent channels. A large 10.1-in capacitive touch-screen supports multi-touch gestures. The oscilloscope range also offers a 10-bit […]
