‘Functional Testing’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs from International Rectifier, which we summarised at the time by saying "International Rectifier has expanded its offering of 40 to 100V automotive-qualified MOSFETs, including a range of logic level devices. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release EASA certifies avionics unit with Altera processor from Altera: "The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified a safety-critical avionics system that includes a DO-254/ED-80-certifiable version of Altera's Nios II embedded processor.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from RDP Electronics - take a look at Transducers suited to shock and vibration tests which says: "Linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs) from RDP Electronics are inherently robust and durable enough to meet the rigours of testing in situations generating vibration or shock. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Kontron, System host board for energy and medical sectors, as well as Tektronix offers architecture for PCI Express 3.0 from Tektronix, and Supporting products for Camera Link applications from Vivid Engineering.
