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 Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications: "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from MSC Vertriebs - take a look at MSC distributes YDS DC/DC converters which says: "MSC is now offering the 95DW-R3 series 20W DC/DC converters from YDS, which can be used in various measurement equipment and other device requiring a precisely regulated voltage. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology, Linear introduces H-grade switching regulator, as well as Rakon TCXOs feature power management from Rakon, and International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs from International Rectifier.
