ration for worldwide use with its HD Radio™ tech- nology.
The vertically and horizontally deployed modules have shielded enclosures with a 21 pin out and dimensions of 51.5mm x 38.0mm x 9.0mm (W x D x H). They cover input frequency ranges on the AM band from 530kHz to 1710kHz and on the FM band from 87.9MHz to 107.9MHz. They are controlled via I2C bus. The HD radio tuners are rated for sup- ply voltages of 5.0V or 1.2V. The impedance of the antenna (unbalanced) is 75Ω (FM) or 1 MΩ (AM). The modules meet the automotive temperature spe- cifications of –40°C to +85°C (-40° F to 185° F).

Moreover, ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE has developed the high-durability RDC90 Series resistive rota- ry sensor. Samples will be available from August 2011. The RDC90 Series is a resistive-type rotary sensor which, while compact, achieves high dura- bility of 100 million dither cycles, or 10 million full cycles. Position sensors, when used together with an equipment-controlling motor actuator, are constantly influenced by the motor’s vibrations. Although slight, these vibrations wear away the pivotal resistive elements, affecting position detection accuracy. The RDC90 Series fulfills the durability requirement by incorporating a long-lasting resistive element used successfully in the past for automotive applications such as throttle position sensors.

ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE GmbH offers with the TDGA6 family a series of high-sensitive FM/AM tuner modules for automotive applications. They cover input frequency ranges on the AM band from 522kHz to 1710kHz and on the FM band from 76MHz to 108MHz. For reception of U.S. weather forecasts, the tuner modules support FM frequencies from 162.4MHz to 162.55MHz (Weather-Band-Ran- ge – WX). The tuners are rated for supply voltages of 5.0V; their typical power consumption is 225mA. Further specifications include an audio output level of 150mVms and an antenna impedance (unbalan- ced) of 75Ω (FM) or 1 MΩ (AM). The TDGS mo- dules are available in minimum packing units of 500 pieces.
