Web exclusive Infineon Technologies has introduced a single-chip radar device for applications in industrial and commercial sensing. Based on a SiGe process technology and operating in the 24-GHz ISM band (24.0 – 24.25GHz), the new product family features high-integration radar system-on-chip transceivers, and a companion receiveonly chip. Use them for level monitoring in storage tanks (solids and liquids), lighting control, security systems, intelligent door openers and collision avoidance. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5819 Maxim Integrated has announced the MAX78638, a turnkey solution for 3-phase motor energy measurement and diagnostics, that brings together a number of elements that require analogue silicon functions (with digital control), into a single chip. Unlike previous bulky and expensive solutions that required moving condition-monitoring equipment from motor to motor, the highly integrated MAX78638 conveniently allows for constant and simultaneous monitoring of multiple pumps and motors. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5820 Keithley Instruments, now presented as “a Tektronix company” following its acquisition by parent corporation Danaher, has introduced two multi-channel power supplies; the Series 2200 line of programmable DC power supplies combine greater output accuracy than comparable products at lower cost. The new supplies’ output levels are designed to address a wide range of sourcing requirements for characterising components, circuits, modules, and complete devices. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5821 Tektronix itself, in a separate announcement, has expanded its MDO4000 Series of Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes to include two new entry level models. With the same features and functionality of the MDO4000, the new models put time and frequency domain analysis in the hands of engineers with a low entry point solution that allows engineers to capture time-correlated analog, digital and RF signals for a complete system view, for designs operating in the RF frequency range from 50 kHz to 3 GHz. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5822 High performance CPU True DSP capability LIN, J2602 and CAN bus connectivity In next month’s EDN Europe In its December issue, EDN Europe will look at the topics of Consumer product design and FPGAs. In January 2013, the focus topics will include Automotive systems design. Further ahead, planned topics include Communications and Embedded Computing.
