ADVERTORIAL: Agilent’s U1610A/U1620A is the world’s first handheld oscilloscope engineered with a VGA display

02 February 2012

With bandwidth of 100/200 MHz, the Agilent U1610A/U1620A scope offers a floating measurement capability with two CAT III 600 V isolated channels. It also captures more waveforms from signals such as pulse width modulated circuit, in-rush, transient and motor start up sequences. Coupled with a benchtop-like display and dual window zoom function, it allows you to easily identify problem areas and zoom in for more detailed analysis.

Enpirion’s EN5339 Combines Power Density and Low Noise

01 February 2012

Avnet Abacus announced the availability of EN5339 from Enpirion, which is claimed to be the smallest 3A point-of-load DC-DC converter around. Targeting embedded computing applications as well as solid-state drives, the 3A EN5339 system-on-a-chip integrates the controller, power MOSFETs, compensation network and inductor into one highly compact solution that significantly reduces the engineering and design effort traditionally associated with discrete DC-DC converter designs.
