An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Outdoor cooler uses bi-polar thermostatic control from Laird Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laird Technologies has announced the release of its outdoor thermoelectric cooler series with bi-polar thermostatic control. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Hamamatsu develops super luminescent diode from Hamamatsu Photonics: "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a series of super luminescent diodes (SLDs) for use in ophthalmology, optical gyroscopes, OCT, fibre-optic and medical applications. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Texas Instruments - take a look at Power-management controller for standard MOSFETs which says: "Texas Instruments has introduced a power-management controller and driver for standard and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs used for low-voltage, secondary-side synchronous rectification. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Magna-Power Electronics, High slew-rate option for power supplies, as well as Valve connector simplifies manufacturing process from Molex, and Tektronix offers architecture for PCI Express 3.0 from Tektronix.
