Evaluation kit simplifies automotive LED light design
The ISELED Alliance has launched a new evaluation kit for ISELED, a digital smart RGB LED solution for automotive ambient lighting. The evaluation kit allows developers to quickly build and prototype ISELED solutions, thereby significantly reducing development time. Custom lighting effects can be easily programmed using the supplied software suite from Lucie Labs and tested on the kit’s 16 RGB LEDs. Optical measurements can be carried ...
Optical probe overcomes 400G PAM4 debug challenges
A 56GBd 400G PAM4 optical probe has been introduced for use with the Tektronix DPO70000SX Series real-time oscilloscopes. The 59 GHz DPO7OE2 single mode optical probe delivers the performance and advanced debug capabilities designers need to troubleshoot 400G PAM4 components and reduce time to market.
Optical modules lift 400G yields
Two optical modules have been introduced by Tektronix for its DSA8300 sampling oscilloscope that offer high sensitivity and low noise, enabling manufacturers to increase production capacity and improve yields for 400G designs moving into production.
Latest line-up of high speed signal transmission photorelays
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the launch of two high speed signal transmission photorelays that offer the industry’s smallest footprint. The TLP3475S features low on-state output resistance (RON) – typically 1.1Ω and offers fast switching times of 0.5ms (ton) and 0.4ms (toff). The device is rated for 60V (VOFF) and a max. current of 0.4A (ION). The device is housed in an S-VSON4 package measuring just 2.00mm x 1....
