Microwave Mux Modules
Pickering Interface's (Clacton-on-Sea, UK)
new high channel count microwave MUX
family (models 40/42-788) is based on superior-quality
Radiall mechanical microwave
switches, with bandwidth options from 8
GHz to 40 GHz, and versatile switching configurations,
including single or dual SP8T,
SP10T or SP12T multiplexers. As well as microwave switching applications,
the modules also suit many uses across the RF spectrum where
extremely low insertion loss and ultra-high isolation are critical. " These
modules give you the highest RF and microwave switching performance
available within a Pickering switching system, " noted Switching Product
Manager at Pickering, Steve Edwards.

Radiation Tolerant Power Converters
The Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) market is
rapidly growing as private and public entities
alike explore the new space region for
everything from 5G communication and
cube satellites to IoT applications. There is
an increased demand for standard space
grade solutions that are reliable, cost effective
and configurable. To meet this market need, Microchip Technology
(Chandler, AZ) today announces a new family of Radiation-Tolerant (RT)
LE50-28 isolated DC-DC 50W power converters available in nine variants
with single- and triple-outputs ranging from 3.3V to 28V.

Advanced Servo Actuators
Ultra Motion's (Cutchogue, NY) suite
of servo actuators provides environmentally
hardened, reliable, and power-dense
actuation options that meet
the demands of the defense industry. All
of our servo actuators utilize our patented
Phase Index® absolute position feedback
and include built-in brushless DC
control electronics. Communication protocols like RS-485 and CAN 2.0B
allow for complete control over the actuator while enabling detailed
telemetry for health monitoring and preventative maintenance.

Low-Side Gate Driver
Littelfuse Inc. (Chicago, IL) announced
the launch of the IX4352NE Low-side SiC
MOSFET and IGBT Gate Driver. This
innovative driver is specifically designed
to drive Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs
and high-power Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistors (IGBTs) in industrial applications.
The key differentiator of the IX4352NE lies in its separate 9 A source
and sink outputs, which enable tailored turn-on and turn-off timing
while minimizing switching losses. An internal negative charge regulator
also provides a user-selectable negative gate drive bias for improved dV/dt
immunity and faster turn-off.
