An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Camera for OEM scientific and industrial customers from Hamamatsu Photonics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hamamatsu has introduced the C11440-50B board-level camera for semiconductor inspection, failure analysis, X-ray scintillator readout, fluorescence microscope and high-speed/high-resolution imaging.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release PMC mezzanine cards for rugged implementations from BVM: "BVM has updated its selection of PMC mezzanine cards, designed to add additional capability to VMEbus and CompactPCI systems.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Silicon Laboratories - take a look at Silicon Laboratories expands clock generator range which says: "Silicon Laboratories has expanded its Any-Rate Clock Generator range with the Si5355/56. ".
Take a look also at the news release from ON Semiconductor, ON unveils protection IC, as well as Embedded motherboards feature solid capacitors from Kontron UK, and Abacus expands portfolio of I/O connectors from Abacus Group.
