TDK Corp. presents a new series of robust EPCOS MKP X2 capacitors for EMI suppression. Compared with conventional X2 capacitors designed for rated voltages of 305 V AC, these new components offer a higher rated voltage of 350 V AC. This makes them suitable for EMI suppression in input filters – specifically for applications on the North American market – and output filters of photovoltaic inverters.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC2320-16, a 16-bit 1.5Msps per channel, no latency successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with eight simultaneously sampling channels supporting a rail-to-rail input common mode range. The LTC2320-16 features a flexible analog front end that accepts fully differential, unipolar or bipolar analog input signals, as well as arbitrary input signals, and maintains an 82dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 102dB, when sampling input signals up to the Nyquist frequency.

Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has announced that it's 1U MicroTCA Chassis has new versatile power options. 

Keysight Technologies is offering a free workshop specifically designed for signal and power integrity engineers trying to accurately model their printed circuit boards (PCBs)—a task that is now more challenging given today’s ever increasing data rates. During the hands-on workshop, titled “Keysight EEsof EDA Simulation Tools for Signal Integrity and Power Integrity,” attendees will learn about new tools in ADS 2016 that can improve PCB simulation accuracy; in particular, the pure electromagnetic-simulation-based SIPro (Signal Integrity Professional) and PIPro (Power Integrity Professional). SIPro and PIPro provide a cohesive workflow within ADS for signal integrity and power integrity applications in high-speed digital board design.

Samtec will participate in the DesignCon 2017 conference and exhibition at the Santa Clara Convention Center, January 31 - February 2. Samtec’s Director of Signal Integrity Jim Nadolny will be presenting a 45-minute technical paper session covering “Design of Flyover QSFP28 (FQSFP Series) for 56+ Gbps Applications.”

Anritsu Co. released a new version of its award-winning SkyBridge Tools™ Test Manager that supports OTDR measurements to establish the industry’s first comprehensive field test automation tool that supports both RF and optical testing. By reducing test time by as much as 90% and increasing accuracy more than 10 times, SkyBridge Tools dramatically simplifies network installation verification, allowing contractors to close out projects more efficiently, receive prompt payment, and start new projects faster.

MathWorks announced new capabilities in HDL Verifier to speed up FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) verification. The new FIL capabilities enable faster communication with the FPGA board and higher clock frequency simulation. Now, system engineers and researchers can confidently and quickly verify and validate that an FPGA design works as expected in the system, saving development time.

AnDAPT™, announced AmP™ Adaptive Multi-Rail Power Platform family, a new genre of analog power management technology heralding an innovative user paradigm for “On-Demand Power Management,” and taking analog power designs to a new level of flexibility. Users can now, on-demand, select and integrate application targeted, proven Power Components on to an AmP Platform.
