Pico Technology’s PicoScope 6000E Series FlexRes oscilloscopes feature eight channels with 500-MHz bandwidth, 16 digital channels, and resolution of 8-, 10- or 12-bits. The products work with PicoScope 6 application software, which takes full advantage of the latest PC performance and display capabilities, showing clean, crisp waveforms. The top-of-the-range PicoScope 6824E has dual 5-Gsample/s analog-to-digital converters and 4 Gsamples of capture memory as standard. It offers a rich set of built-in tools for embedded systems debug, including DeepMeasure that captures the measurement results of each one in up to a million cycles. Pico Technology

Direct-drive linear motor

The new patented SDLM-019-070-01-01 direct-drive linear motor with integrated position and temperature sensors is the latest addition to the series of zero-backlash, zero-cogging, high-acceleration, high-speed, high-resolution, long life motors from Moticont. This compact motor is just 0.75 in. (19.1 mm) in diameter and 2.75 in (69.9 mm) long. Protected inside the motor housing, the linear optical quadrature encoder is directly connected to the shaft for the greatest possible accuracy. Highest throughputs are achieved by the SDLM-019-070-01-01 linear motor when operating at peak efficiency monitoring the data from the internal temperature sensor. Moticont

-30 V P-channel MOSFET in PowerPAK 1212-8S package

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has introduced a new common-drain dual n-channel 60-V MOSFET in the compact, thermally enhanced PowerPAK 1212-8SCD package. Designed to increase power density and efficiency in battery-management systems, plug-in and wireless chargers, dc-dc converters, and power supplies, the Vishay Siliconix SiSF20DN offers R_S-S(ON) down to 10 mΩ typical at 10 V in a 3- by 3-mm footprint. This value is 89% lower than Vishay's previous-generation devices. The result is reduced voltage drops across the power path and minimized power losses for increased efficiency.

30-GHz BGA socket for BGA625

Ironwood Electronics recently introduced a new high-performance BGA socket for a 0.65-mm-pitch BGA 625-pin device. The CG-BGA-5032 socket is designed for 16- by 16-mm package sizes and operates at a bandwidth of up to 30 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed with an easy-open double-latch clamshell lid with integrated compression mechanism. The contact resistance is typically 20 mΩ per pin. The socket connects all pins with 30-GHz bandwidth on all connections. It’s mounted using supplied hardware on the target PCB with no soldering, and has a small footprint. Ironwood Electronics

Motorized yaw-pitch-roll stages

Three new high-accuracy yaw-pitch-roll stages have been introduced by OES: the YPR100-10-15-01 (driven by stepper motor; pictured), the YPR100-10-15-02 (driven by brushless servo motor) and the YPR100-10-15-03 (driven by dc servo motor). These yaw-pitch-roll stages are suitable for the precise measurement of compound angles or the curvature of an object. The yaw axis (bottom stage) is capable of rotation of large angles and features a 180:1 ratio gear. The positional accuracy is 0.05 degrees, and repeatability is ±0.01 degrees. The pitch axis (middle stage) has cross roller guides and a range of travel of ±10 degrees plus an accuracy of 0.05 degrees and repeatability of ±0.01 degrees. The roll axis (top stage) has cross roller guides and a range of travel of ±5 degrees; the 65- × 65-mm table has a precise pattern of threaded holes for fixtures or tooling. This stage has an accuracy of 0.05 degrees and repeatability of ±0.01 degrees; total center deflection for all axes is 0.03 mm. The rotation center height is 50 mm. Optimal Engineering Systems

Differential pressure sensors

applications with high requirements when it comes to fail-safe operation. In order to guarantee these requirements, both sensors have been certified according to the GAR (Gas Appliances Regulation) standard. Therefore, they can be used in applications like gas burners. In combined gas-and-air systems such as boilers, the air/fuel ratio can be accurately and quickly regulated using a mass flow sensor. This enables the boiler to be dynamically adjusted, meaning that it can run more efficiently and adapt to changing conditions more quickly. Sensirion
