 MinMax Technology

MSKW3000 Series

DC/DC converster

" gull-wing" SMT package.  Series consists of 14 models with input voltage ranges of 9-36VDC and 18-75VDC which provide precisely regulated output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, ±5V, ±12V and ±15VDC.



HL Planartechnik  (www.hlplanar.com) - TSEV01C Digital infrared I2C temperature sensor for OEM usage

 OEM product development module with strong integration yielding a significant reduction of the outer dimensions of the sensor providing development capability for products with a strong reduction of power consumption.

A measurement range of 0°C to 50°C comes along with accuracy up to ±0.5°C. The I2C interface provides easy access to all measurement data. Additionally, two user-configurable threshold outputs may be used for alarm or controlling applications.

The Texas Instruments TMS320DM6467 DaVinci processor is a single-chip, multi-format, real-time HD video transcoding solution. This DSP-based system-on-chip is specifically tuned for video transcoding product development such as media gateways, multi-point control units, digital media adapters, surveillance digital video servers and recorders, and IP set-top boxes. The solution consists of an integrated ARM9 and C64x+ DSP core and a HD Video/Imaging Co-Processor. The DM6467 performs simultaneous, multi-format HD at a 10x performance improvement and 1/10th the price. Complete development tools and digital media software available to speed design.

Global Positioning System - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia has updated and refined its explanation of GPS to be the best text we have found on the subject.  This is a must-read for product development involving GPS.  Particularly, their "Accuracy and Errors" section is extremely helpful
