An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release MLCC can be used in PA and front-end modules from AVX, which we summarised at the time by saying "AVX has created what it claims is the industry's smallest multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) for PA and front-end modules, IC packaging, mobile phones and other applications with limited board space.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Han-Yellock 60 allows incorporation of six modules from Harting: "Harting has extended the versatility of its Han-Yellock connector range with the Han-Yellock 60, which has a larger housing that enables up to six connector modules to be incorporated. ".
 
In February 2011, we covered the news from International Rectifier - take a look at MOSFETs for 12V synchronous buck applications which says: "International Rectifier has introduced a range of Directfetplus power MOSFETs for 12V input synchronous buck applications, including next-generation servers, desktops and notebooks. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Maxim Integrated Products, Low-noise amplifiers for GPS-enabled applications, as well as ChipSESD devices help to protect mobile phones from Tyco Electronics, and Accu-Guard fuses suitable for handheld devices from AVX.
