New! Analog Devices introduced a family of low-power rail-to-rail amplifiers for high-speed data
acquisition systems that require exceptional accuracy, precision and power efficiency. The ADA4805-1
(single) and ADA4805-2 (dual) amplifiers provide the only solution with quiescent current as low as 495µA.
The amplifiers’ Dynamic Power Scaling (DPS) feature allows users to dynamically manage the power
consumption by shutting-down the amplifier between analog-to-digital converter samples. This further
reduces by up to 90 percent the power consumption — with no performance degradation —when compared
to similar solutions. Click for more information.

Analog Devices introduced a current-to-digital converter module that reduces the cost and complexity of
computed tomography (CT) scanner system design. The ADAS1131 is a 256-channel, 24-bit current-todigital converter module that is available in a 15 mm² BGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch. The device uses
approximately 33% less PCB area than alternative devices that offer only half the channel density. The
0.8 mm pitch packaging feature enables designers to mount the ADAS1131 on a standard PCB substrate, a
less costly and higher yield option than high density, specialized PCB substrates requiring laser vias.

in automotive sensors, Freescale has experienced strong market acceptance across the breadth of its
sensors portfolio, including its increasingly popular devices for the growing industrial and medical markets.
Freescale’s new FXLN83xxQ accelerometer underscores the company’s industrial sensing momentum.
Designed to capture acceleration information often missed by less accurate sensors commonly deployed in
consumer products such as smartphones and exercise activity monitors, the new device enables intelligent
algorithms to better perform fault prognostication for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring
applications. Click for more information.

QDR2 and QDR2+ at 36/72 Mb are the current hot spots for new designs. 144 Mb is highest density. Many configurations
available. Be cautious with selection to be aware of volume vs. niche versions. 4-5 OEM's drive 90% of demand, so support can
be weak for devices not used by those top customers. Samsung has exited all SRAM products, affected customers should look to
GSI, Cypress, ISSI and Renesas for full support on these families. Cypress is now promoting QDR4 family, ask for details.

LPDDR and LPDDR2 are in strong demand. Vendors are increasing production on LPDDR2 products. Lead times are increasing,
expect seasonal demand to increase 2H 2014. LPDDR2 parts should be chosen carefully, not all configurations and packages are

The availability of new gallium nitride (GaN) devices for 4 to 18 GHz becomes more pervasive. Pointto-point communications, SATCOM, radars of all types, and new industrial/medical applications will all
benefit by the introduction of these high-power GaN devices. GaN can operate at much higher voltages
and at power levels that were difficult or impossible to reach using Gallium Arsenide (GaAs).

TAIYO YUDEN OFFERS LITHIUM ION CAPACITORS WITH LONG LIFE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE RELIABILITY
TAIYO YUDEN INC.’s new Cylindrical Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC) offers extremely large energy density and high reliability. Combining the strength of lithium-ion
secondary batteries with conventional Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC), this next-generation energy device offers an energy density 4 times greater than
EDLCs.
TAIYO YUDEN's hybrid LIC boasts the key features of batteries (high voltage and high energy) while maintaining the traditional characteristics of capacitors (rapid
charge/discharge, high durability, safety and environmental friendliness). Unlike batteries, LICs have no risk of thermal runaway and have extremely low self
discharge, even in high heat environments. These LICs are much more reliable than conventional EDLCs because of this hybrid feature.
These LICs provide an increased maximum rated voltage of 3.8 V (about 1.5 times higher than the 2.3-2.7 V of conventional capacitors), and offer 2
times the capacity of similar sized EDLCs - making their energy density up to 4 times higher than that of EDLCs. A higher energy density results in fewer
components needed and reduced mounting space when compared to EDLCs. One LIC can replace multiple EDLCs, allowing for improved thermal design in
tight spaces such as servers.

values of the E12 series extends from 1.0 μH to 470 μH. These RoHS-compatible inductors are suitable for an operating
temperature range of -55 to +125 °C.
The components of the LBC+ series are manufactured in both axial (B82144F2*) and radial types (B82144B2*). The latter have
a lead spacing of 5 mm. The chokes have a length of 9.2 mm and a diameter of 6.5 mm. A flame-retardant enamel coating
protects the components against environmental effects. Moreover, they are marked for identification with color rings to IEC
60062.

Is there a MFG that has a Thick Film chip resistor that is 100% Lead Free and 100% RoHS Compliant? YES!
Vishay has their RCG series (Green Thick Film Chip Resistors). It is totally lead free, no lead in glass, no RoHS exemption!
Click for more information.
NIC Components also has introduced the NRCL series that is a thick film chip resistor that does not contain lead or use
exemption to achieve compliance. Click for more information.
NIC is pleased to offer NRSNL series of Pb free thick film chip resistor arrays, which does not take the RoHS exemption,
as the level of Pb has been reduced below the RoHS threshold of 1,000PPM (0.1%). The NRSNL series 4 element
arrays are available in EIA standard 0408 (0402 x 4) & 0612 (0603 x 4) case sizes with convex terminal construction.
Supported in E24 (+/-5% tolerance) and E96 (+/-1% tolerance) resistance values, with individual element power ratings
of 1/16W (0.0625W) in 0408 size and 1/10W (0.10W) in 0612 size. Click for more information.

What Is Driving Hi-Reliability BME Development Efforts?
Space level-stock to 24 weeks
• Application requirements are driving towards CV values that can’t be achieved with conventional Mil-qualified PME
capacitor offerings
• BME MLCC can offer up to ~10x increase in capacitance compared to the current Mil-qualified PME capacitor offerings
• Use of BME MLCC has been demonstrated in medical implantable devices for 10+ years and in various automotive
applications for >15 years
• BME technology will find increasing use in MIL applications to extend capacitance ranges as data and experience with the
product grows
• BME Industry Forum is meeting weekly to develop a detailed spec for BME/Thin Dielectric MLCC for Hi-Rel applications
• Keep in mind for Military capacitors where “Additional testing is required,” those will require more lead-time
• Price trends vary within the military arena with some being stable and others being up
