PRODUCT BRIEFS
Power transmitters
Microchip Technology (Chandler,
Arizona) has released a Qi 2.0 dual-pad
wireless power transmitter reference
design. Powered by a single dsPIC33
Digital Signal Controller (DSC), the Qi2
reference design offers efficient control
for optimized performance. A key feature
of the new Qi2 standard, recently
released by the Wireless Power
Consortium (WPC), is the introduction
of a Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) with support for magnetic
alignment between the transmitter and the receiver. The
DSC's flexible software architecture enables the support of a
combination of MPP and Extended Power Profile (EPP) of Qi
2.0 with one controller. The dual-pad charger also meets automotive
standards for reliability and safety.

Switching regulator controllers
ABLIC (Tokyo, Japan) launched
the S-19990/9 series of automotive
low EMI step-up
switching regulator controllers.
The new S-19990/9 series are
36V step-up switching regulator
controllers that can secure
operating voltage from 3V, making them an ideal IC for constructing
backup power supply step-up circuits. The
S-19990/9 Series is available with an oscillation frequency of
400kHz or 2.2MHz. These ICs are also equipped with a spread
spectrum clock generation circuit which enables reduction of
the conduction noise and emission noise emitted by the stepup
circuit. These IC can also continue operation at a low consumption
current of 60μA typ. during switching off.

Multiplexer modules
Pickering Interfaces (Clactonon-Sea,
United Kingdom) announced
a new family of highdensity
PXI and PXIe multiplexer
modules for high voltage applications.
The 40-321-1xx (PXI)
and 42-321-1xx (PXIe) are 1- or 2-pole multiplexers and are available
with various bank quantities and channel counts. They are
capable of hot or cold switching up to 1000 VDC or 1000 VAC
peak and use high-quality reed relays throughout the range. The
MUX range offers 20 different module configurations, with different
channel counts between four and 48, bank quantities from
one to six, and 1- or 2-pole switching options, allowing switching
solutions to be tailored closely to test system requirements.

Cameras
THine Solutions (Santa Clara,
California) announced the new
THEIA-CAM 13MP PDAF camera is
now able to easily integrate advanced
imaging capabilities into
their systems. The THSCJ101 Kit is a
Camera reference design kit for embedded
camera applications using
the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin NX or Jetson Orin Nano platform. It
is based on THine's THP7312-P Image Signal Processor (ISP)
and Sony's IMX258 13MP CMOS PDAF image sensor. THine's
optimized ISP firmware provides autofocus using Phase
Detection Autofocus (PDAF) technology. The Kit hardware
includes all items required to interface with Jetson Orin carrier
boards with a 22-pin MIPI CSI-2 input connector, including
a Camera Board in an acrylic case and a Flat Flexible Cable.
The Video4Linux2 (V4L2) driver for the THSCJ101 is also
available to control various video functions.

CNC Mills
Tormach (Madison, Wisconsin) introduced
the Tormach 1500MX CNC Mill.
The 1500MX is a three-axis, servodriven
mill on linear rails with an epoxy
granite frame. Tormach states that
the 1500MX offers faster feed rates,
increased precision, superior vibration
damping and higher horsepower at a
fraction of the cost of competitive models. Equipped with a
robust 4HP, 10K RPM BT30 spindle (with a maximum of 6HP),
the 1500MX has sufficient torque for cutting through various
materials and offers enough spindle speed to take advantage
of modern carbide tooling. Additionally, every 1500MX is thruspindle
coolant ready, facilitating seamless integration of TSC
for enhanced drilling efficiency, smoother finishes, part consistency
and extended tool life.
