WHAT’S NEW Sealed connectors up PV efficiency
Yamaichi Electronics' hermetically sealed connector technology has been designed especially to connect up photovoltaicmodules and can support the efficient running of photovoltaic systems. Connectors in this sector need to be both reliable and cost effectivewith reduced overall costs and no compromises in safety and functionality
The secret lies in Yamaichi's IP68 leak-proof
overmould of cable and contact in one working process. Unlike traditional
connectors, no single parts or fittings are required. The installer receives the finished assembled and tested cable, tailored to their application. Costly on-site crimping or cable cutting is not needed.
Yamaichi connectors are tested by the TÜV
Rhineland and UL and carry the appropriate photovoltaic testing label.

Designed to increase efficiency and output power in LED lighting, solar and industrial applications, Fairchild Semiconductor has released a 150Vmosfet with low RDS (on) of 17mOhmmax, and an optimised figure ofmerit (FOM) said to offer high efficiency, low power dissipation andminimal heat in a 5.0 by 6.0mmMLP footprint.
Put this OCXO to the test
The FDMS86200 uses shielded-gate
mosfet technology claimed to offer lower switching noise and ringing, contributing to lower EMI.Without this proprietary technology, designs would require a 200V mosfet, which would double the RDS (on) and lower overall efficiency. Fairchild’s FDMS86200 also features an improved
body diode that boosts switching performance by reducing losses.
Priced at $1.92 in 1,000 piece quantities, delivery time is 12 to15 weeks ARO.

Simplify multiple display support
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has expanded its family of mobile peripheral device (MPD) ICs with a low power product that can operate as a hub or a bridge in applications built around the high-speed serial mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) standards.
When used as a hub, the
MSC Vertriebs has introduced a new ultra low noise OCXO based on new crystal and circuitry technology. The OX-045 improves Vectron’s existing low-noise products by lowering the close-in phase noise by 10dBc/Hz to below 163dBc/Hz (noise floor). This means the performance of test equipment such as phase noise test sets, signal generators and spectrum analysers can be improved.
The OCXO utilises an ultra low noise fifth
overtone SC-cut crystal, said to offer good close-in phase noise and ageing performance of 10ppb/year. The crystal ismated with Vectron’s new proprietary oscillator circuit tominimise any additional noise contributions. The device features temperature stability of ±3ppb over zero to 70°C.

TC358710XBG canmultiply the number of availableMIPI display serial interface (DSI) ports. This simplifies the implementation of support for multiple displays. As a bridge the new device provides a link between legacy interface standards andMIPI interfaces, allowing designers to extend the lifetime of existing host and display systems.
In hubmode the TC358710XBGMPD can take a single DSI input and distribute the
incoming DSI packets to up to two DSI ports and one shared display bus interface type B/C (DBI-B/C) output.When the device is set up in bridgemode it can take a parallel MIPI DBI-B froma hostmicrocontroller and supply up to three different display devices over high-speed serialMIPI DSI links.
The TC358710XBG provides for selectable two-lane DSI or 8/16-bit DBI-B host
interface support and operates with DSI link speeds up to 820MB/s per lane. An integrated DSI packet buffer accommodates packet sizes up to 4KB.
