ew at Dengrove Electronic Components, RECOM R-78S boost switching regulators enable designers to power


maintaining a stable 3.3V output as the battery discharges as low as 0.65V. This wide input-voltage range enhances flexibility to use alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, zinc-carbon or lithium cells. The converters are also extremely energy efficient, operating at up to 93% efficiency at full load and over 80%


at lighter loads. No-load current consumption is 160μA, and can be reduced to 7μA by using the control pin. The new boost converters deliver the same plug-and-


play convenience of the RECOM R-78 buck series, and integrate continuous short-circuit protection with auto- recovery, over-temperature protection, and under-voltage lockout to prevent deep discharge of rechargeable cells.

LCD are becoming increasingly popular for today’s industrial product designers, specialist distributor Craft Data’s 8.8”, 4:1 aspect ratio panel is no exception. The S88SWX03 measures just 229.66 x 67.5 x 3.5mm making it suitable for a 2U rack, it has a resolution of 1280 x 320 and features a high brightness LED backlight capable of producing a brightness of 600 cd/m². A high contrast ratio of 1000:1 and wide viewing angles of 150° on the horizontal and 145° on the vertical gives the panel a very good optical performance required for many of today’s industrial products. The panel is equipped with an LVDS interface suitable for interfacing directly to an SBC or alternatively it can be supplied with its own HDMI board solution including the LED backlight driver for quick and easy integration into your application. A P-Cap touch version is also available.

S7 connectivity, arithmetic and aggregation functions I


NSYS icom, leading technology partner for M2M and IoT communication solutions, has added a "Siemens S7 Application Connector", logical and mathematical functions for data processing, and a command line interface (CLI) to the latest version 1.1 release of the icom Data Suite. The icom Data Suite is exclusively available for the high-performance router MRX and MRO series, which feature the icom SmartBox, an integrated Linux environment. The scalable software package turns routers into smart devices with edge computing capability. With the free starter package, e.g. standard logical operators such as AND, OR and SET can be used to link and further process data points.

Gigabit for Every Home G


rowth in fiber optic systems / Innovations and know-how help broadband providers all over the world with fast fiber optic network expansion R&M, the globally active developer and provider of cabling systems for high-quality network infrastructures, based in Wetzikon, Switzerland, is


accompanying well-known carriers on their way into the gigabit era. The long-term goal is to provide every home with gigabit-fast Internet connections. And the full-coverage FO cabling of urban and rural regions is playing a key role in this. "The demand for R&M fiber optic systems for broadband networks increases by ten percent every year. We are extending capacities in our plants in Bulgaria and India accordingly," explains R&M CEO Michel Riva. With new products, R&M is underscoring its presence in the Public Networks market. The brand-new generation of the Polaris-box reliably


facilitates and protects the installation of fiber optic connections for residential buildings and larger building complexes. "We are currently receiving orders for greater numbers which shows that we have the perfect solution for fulfilling FTTH providers' needs," says Tobias Münzer, R&M Market Manager Public Networks. The SYNO dome closure with gel sealing technology launched in 2016 is also exactly what carriers are looking for. Telecommunications and


broadband providers in Europe and the Middle East are already using thousands of them in their fiber optic networks. The British IT and telecommunications service provider Colt recently succeeded in setting up a new fiber optic route in Switzerland in just a few days with the help of the R&M SYNO dome closure. The dome closure is there to connect fiber optic cables on the "last mile" and to distribute them – whether in shafts, on masts or directly in the ground. R&M has simplified assembly and made it self-explanatory. "The digitization megatrend is revolutionizing the way we communicate. Entire industries are on the brink of upheaval and are facing a change in their business models. A reliable and future-proof communication and


data network based on fiber optics is a prerequisite for keeping pace with this change," empasizes Tobias Münzer. In spite of the expansion of Internet data traffic, major network operators are cautious, with FTTH projects being planned very carefully. Carriers want easily scalable systems and flexible expansion strategies with which they can calculate their budgets in manageable stages and speed up their return on investment. Tobias Münzer: "R&M is reacting to these needs with a consistent portfolio and constant new innovations, such as the recently launched SYNO dome closure and the Polaris-box."
