Multichip Modules Find Their Way As MOSFET Drivers By Sam Davis, FindPower Products Editor
Monolithic ICs fill most roles in electronic systems, but multichip modules are beginning to make inroads where board space and performance are critical. Sam Davis takes a look at companies keeping up with Intel's DrMOS specification.
New! Data logging Made Easy with NI LabVIEW SignalExpress and CompactDAQ
The out of the box, non-programming data logging solution of NI CompactDAQ and LabVIEW SignalExpress reduces your time to first measurement to seconds. Combine the flexibility of over 30 plug-in modules leveraging USB plug-and-play technology with analysis routines and HTML report generation to quickly log, analyze, and present your data without any programming.
Quarter-Brick DC-DC Module Series Adds More Power At Lower Cost
Ericsson Power Modules adds three new models to its PKM-E series of dc-dc converters, providing additional output voltage ranges, more current, and more power for designers of telecom and data equipment products.
