New sensors Sensirion will take you only 3x3mm on PCB!
Calibrated humidity and temperature sensors Sensirion SHT21,SHT25 and STS21 excel by very small dimensions. Thanks to their miniature size and a very low power consumption, you can use them even in small portable devices.
Switch-mode power supply within few minutes, with the L5973D switched regulator
You may have already had an application, where it would have been suitable to use a switched power supply, but when you saw a datasheet, you rather used a classic proven linear stabilizer. With the integrated circuit L5973D it is possible to design in a short time a reliable and powerful power source, at a low cost.
Prevent a gas explosion by means of the Figaro TGS6812 sensor
A protection against explosive gases doesn´t have to be expensive. With the sensor Figaro TGS6812 with a linear output, you can design a quality and price-affordable device, detecting a wide variety of explosive gases.
USB interface in a cable – a high speed solution for many devices
USB solutions specialist Future Technology Devices International Limited (FTDI) has added two new cables to its USB to digital level serial interface portfolio. The new C232HM-DDHSL-0 and C232HM-EDHSL-0 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed to Digital Level cables - offer a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 V logic level interfaces to USB.
Drive LEDs from 230V mains more simply and reliably
Current limiting diode (CLD) is a less known component able to replace current limiting circuit. Current through the CLD is almost independent on the applied voltage. It enables to directly drive LEDs greatly simplifying an overall circuit.
Teach your devices to speak with VS1000 audio module
VS10000 audio module is a simple solution how to add audio output to your device, at a low cost. Thanks to a high quality stereo sound with SNR>90dB it can be used even in applications demanding for a sound quality. License-free OggVorbis decoder enables to freely change audio content without any other fees.
Become familiar with AtxMEGA by ATx4 development kits
Lot of us, who are using microprocessors in daily praxis, could have noticed, that more than 2 years ago Atmel has brought an innovated AVR microprocessor line called XMEGA.
Afford to yourself a full dose of Atmel ATMEGA microprocessors
Whether you use single chip microprocessors Atmel in a big ammount, for smaller batches, or you are just deciding about their usage in new devices, we offer you to buy them at convenient prices.
