Electronic Design Products of the Week (9/9-9/13)

<p><a href="https://www.micronas.com" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e67e22">Micronas</span></a>, a division of TDK Corp., expanded its Hall-effect sensor line with the addition of the HAL 1890. Packed into a TO92 package, two pin configurations are available: an in-line version with 1.27-mm pin spacing, or a spread-pin version with 2.54-mm pin spacing.</p>

<p>The new sensor, which is able to measure small angles of up to 90-deg. or linear displacements of a few millimeters in harsh environments, is compatible with the SENT protocol according to the 4^th revision of SAE J2716. Also supported are enhanced 8-bit ID serial message format and 3 and 6 data nibbles with secure information frame format (H.2 and H.4) as well as signal path supervision. The HAL1890 is AEC-Q100 qualified for use in automotive and industrial applications, too.</p>

<p>Programmable via a single pin or by modulating the supply voltage, the HAL1890 has 10-bit accuracy and a magnetic field sensitivity between 40 and 160 mT (up to 5 kHz). Samples of the HAL1890 are available now.

<p><a href="https://www.te.com" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e67e22">TE</span></a>’s MULTIGIG RT 3 connector employs quad-redundant contacts that are the field-proven cornerstone of the of the MULTIGIG RT 2-R series of connectors. Designed for aerospace, military systems and applications, and outer space, they’re constructed with thermoplastic and copper alloys.</p>

<p>The new ruggedized connector can manage data-transfer rates of 25+ Gb/s, making it one of the fastest backplane connectors on the marker for embedded computing and VPX systems. They can also be used in high-current applications. The MULTIGIG RT 3 conforms to VITA 46 standard,s making it backwards-compatible with OpenVPX systems. Because of the MULTIGIG RT 3’s modularity, numerous configurations are available. More information on the MULTIGIG RT 3 connector can be found <a href="https://www.te.com/usa-en/about-te/news-center/multigig-rt-3-connectors.... style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e67e22">here</span></a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The OV2778 automotive image sensor from <a href="http://www.ovt.com" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e67e22">OmniVision</span></a> comes packaged in a 6.5- x 5.7-mm automotive CSP. The 2MP RGB-IR sensor is built with the company’s 2.8-µm OmniBSI-2 Deep Well pixel technology.</p>

<p>This technology allows the OV2778 to deliver a 16-bit linear output from a single exposure, with a second exposure increasing the dynamic range to 120 dB. The AEC-Q100 Grade 2-certified OV2778 also features 1080p resolution, 4x4 pattern color filtering, and external frame synchronization. It communicates to its parent system with either a DVP or MIPI/LVDS interface. Samples of the OV2778 are currently available, as is a plug-and-play automotive reference design.

<p><a href="https://www.optris.com/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e67e22">Optris</span></a> has released a new trio of industrial accessories for its Xi 80 and Xi 400 IR cameras that keep the cameras protected in extreme environmental conditions.</p>

<p>The first accessory is a stainless-steel shutter mechanism that can be actuated to expose the delicate optics only when required. The shutter features a 100-ms response time. The second accessory is a stainless-steel, water-cooled housing that allows the cameras to operate in environments up to 250°C. The third accessory is an air purge collar made of anodized aluminum that blows debris and particulates away as well as preventing condensation on the camera’s lens. The collar can be mounted in any of four positions, and an integrated silicone window can be replaced easily in the event that it suffers mechanical damage.
