A tiny form factor, a high continuous current of 6A and a high efficiency of 95% are the outstanding features of the new 5.5V down-regulator TPSM82480 from Texas Instruments. The DC/DC module integrates MOSFET power transistors and shielded coils in a flat housing. The device is therefore suitable for use in point-of-load applications in telecommunications, networking and power supplies for test and measurement purposes.

Designed in a popular 3x3mm SMD package, the LUXEON 3030 2D mid power LED from Lumileds delivers a luminous flux exceeding 200lm when driven at 240mA and 6V.

TDK Corporation and Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation have jointly developed a highly accurate 3-axis magnetometer that combines an extremely sensitive tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) element developed by TDK and an advanced electronic compass ASIC designed by AKM.

With its IMX324 image sensor, Sony breaks new ground in the design of automotive-grade image sensors in several ways.

STMicroelectronics' SPBTLE-1S ready-to-use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module integrates all the components needed to complete the radio subsystem.
