MICRO | NANO | MEMS 2015 EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE IMMINENTLY AWAITS YOU T
he much anticipated 2015 edition of Micro | Nano | MEMS exhibition and conference will soon be upon us, running from the 30th September to the 1st October at the NEC in Birmingham, but it’s not to late to plan your visit to this industry leading event. Covering the latest technical innovations in precision engineering for the microfabrication of MEMS technology and micro scale devices this is a must attend event for all industry professionals involved in this complex yet fascinating world. Highlights of this high profile exhibition
and prestigious conference include expert commentary from industry leaders covering the latest in: Laser manufacturing - where Dr Nadeem Rizvi from Laser Micromachining will offer a practical guide to the latest in laser manufacturing techniques and applications. A talk on next generation photonics and nanotechnology wil be presented by Tom Carr from the renowned Zepler Institute at the University of Southampton, whilst the latest in micro injection moulding will be hosted by Aaron Johnson from Accu-mold,
offering an essential guide into this advanced method of manufacturing. The cutting edge in thin and smart film
technology is being presented by Dr Fanya Ismail, from Sol-Gel Tech Centre , whilst a talk on moving and aligning on the nano scale will be offered by Geraint Green from Physik Instrumente. On day two of the event the line-up of presentations will include a focus on the custom MEMS and sensor foundry at Semifab, presented by Allan James, Director, of Semifab. Whilst Doug Balderston from Peratech will offer an insight into Multi-touch
hardware reference design and 3D touch- sensing algorithms, followed by further talks on Nanoimprint lithography, the latest methods of turning surfaces into multi-point, real-time pressure sensors using graphene. A look at the latest cost effective & flexible methods of packaging MEMS & sensor devices will follow. The exhibitor line-up includes industry
leaders: Accumold, Carl Zeiss, Celoplas FRT, Haydale, Laser Lines, Laser Micromachining, Olympus, Zurich Instruments and many more. So visit the show website to attend for free.

EMC UK 2015 EXHIBITION & WORKSHOPS: PROTECTING YOUR ENVIRONMENT
EMC UK 2015 takes place at Newbury Racecourse on Tuesday 6th -7th October 2015 and is a must attend event for anyone with EMC concerns. Alongside the exhibition will run a
comprehensive workshop program featuring talks on: The Fundamentals of EMC and understanding the regulatory and technical aspects of EMC. This session divides into two distinct halves; the first starting with an introduction to EMC for those new to the subject and then moving on to look at the regulatory aspects of the EMC Directive. The second half covers
the electromagnetic principles underpinning EMC and the theory and practice of filtering. A talk on IEMI & Cyber-Physical
Systems will investigate how to protect these systems from the effects of EMI and the challenges designers and system integrators are increasingly faced with. This session will look at different types of EMI threat and also methods for protecting system to ensure robust operation. The afternoon session will include talks on: The Physics of Signal & Power Integrity and EMC. This session will
drill down into what is really going on in this subject field. Exploring how to make it much easier to design products, equipment, systems and installations that function well (i.e. have good SI and PI) and meet their EMC requirements. A Standards & Regulations Update will cover the process of integrating the provisions of the New Legislative Framework. Registration for the event is free so visit the website today to claim your free entry pass.

Keysight Technologies has introduced a series of compact DC power supplies that offer LAN and USB interfaces and accurate, reliable power for testing and validating designs. The E36100 Series adds five new models with up to 100V or 5A output to the company’s existing portfolio of bench power supplies. The E36100 Series’ compact form factor (2U, ¼-rack) saves space on the bench or in a rack, and standard LAN (LXI Core) and USB interfaces make it easy to connect the power supplies to a computer. An intuitive on-screen menu system makes it easy for engineers to perform manual tasks quickly, and overvoltage and overcurrent detection helps engineers protect their DUTs.

he second half of the year is really starting to hot up now following a
decidedly cool summer. The end of September will see the opening of the 7th annual edition of the prestigious Micro | Nano | MEMS exhibition and conference taking place at the NEC in Birmingham. It’s free to attend and features
an impressive line-up of industry leaders both exhibiting and hosting talks at the event, covering the cutting edge in the fascinating world of precision engineering and microfabrication right down to the micro scale. So don’t forget to register for your free entry pass today to this unmissable event. Also highlights of this month’s
issue include distribution, wireless technology and much more Michelle Winny - Editor

Linear Technology Corporation has released a high voltage, low noise dual output power supply which takes a single positive input supply (VIN_P
) and
generates low noise bipolar rails up to ±2•VIN_P
without any inductors. The
device includes a boost doubling charge pump, an inverting charge pump and two low dropout (LDO) regulators. The boost charge pump has a wide
4.5V to 16V input range and powers the positive LDO post regulator from its output, VOUT+
. The inverting charge
pump has an even wider input range (4.5V to 32V) which may be connected to either the boost input or output. The negative LDO post regulator is powered from the output of the
LTC3265 is well suited for a variety of applications that require low noise bipolar supplies from a high voltage input, such as industrial/instrumentation low noise bias generators, portable medical equipment and automotive infotainment systems. The positive and negative LDO regulators can source up to 50mA of output current each with 100µVRMS output noise, and their output voltages can be independently adjusted from ±1.2V to ±32V using external resistor dividers to generate symmetric or asymmetric output supply rails. The internal charge pumps of the LTC3265 function in either low quiescent current Burst Mode operation for highest efficiency, or constant frequency mode for lowest noise. In Burst Mode operation, the LTC3265 draws only 135µA of quiescent current with both LDO regulators on at no load. In constant frequency mode the part operates at a fixed 500kHz, or at a programmed value between 50kHz and 500kHz using an external resistor.

A medium-power, distributed driver amplifier which operates between 24 and 35GHz has been developed by Analog Devices, Inc. The HMC1131 amplifier provides 22-dB of gain, +35- dBm output IP3, and +24 dBm of output power at 1-dB gain compression. Based on a GaAs (gallium-arsenide) pHEMT (pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistor) design, this device is ideal for civil and defence communications systems, including point-to-point and point-to-multi-point radios and VSAT and SATCOM applications.
