New Line at Anatec: REDPINE SINGALS

Headquartered in San Jose California, Redpine Signals is a wireless systems company with unique 802.11n chipsets and modules Ultra low power & high performance solutions for wireless networks and Smart Energy Solutions.

RS9110-N-11-21: 802.11bgn Serial-to-Wi-Fi Module - Connect-io-n™ Series

The module from Redpine's Connect-io-nT family of products is a complete IEEE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi client device with a standard serial or SPI interface to a host processor or data source. It integrates a MAC, baseband processor, RF transceiver with power amplifier, a frequency reference, an antenna, and all WLAN protocol and configuration functionality in embedded firmware to provide a self-contained 802.11n WLAN solution for a variety of applications. As a wireless serial modem, the RS9110-N-11-21 handles SLIP packets, and originates and terminates UDP connections, enabling a variety of M2M applications at low cost and small footprint.

Features:

• Compliant to 802.11b/g and single stream draft 802.11n
• Includes all the protocol and configuration functions required for WLAN connectivity in open and WPA/WPA2-PSK secure modes of operation
• Host interface through Serial Interface and SPI
  
• Terminates UDP and SLIP connections and offers transparent serial modem functionality
• Configuration through AT commands
  
• Ad-hoc and infrastructure modes for maximum deployment flexibility
  
• Single supply 3.1 to 3.6 V operation

austriamicrosystems Launches the World's First Integrated Measurement ICtoReduce System Costand Boost Performance of Power Inverters. The AS8002 precisely monitors the voltage and current of electrical power injected into the power grid.

The AS8002 is a highly accurate measurement IC that allows monitoring the generated energy with low cost shunt resistors or other sensors for the current and resistor dividers for the voltage. This approach allows avoiding more expensive sensing devices while achieving the required accuracy for DC and AC measurements of current and voltage as well as stability over the operating temperature range of the inverter.

Fujitsu High-Performance, Low Power Touch Sensor Controller

The Touch Sensor Controllers (TSC) offer a simple, reliable and aesthetic replacement for virtually all mechanical buttons and sliders across many markets, such as industrial, home appliance, mobile, consumer electronics and office equipments.

The touch sensor controller converts the capacitance generated between a human body and a conductive touch pad into digital data, without any analogue signal processing. It detects a touch completely in the digital domain, by comparing the sensor input impedances with a built-in reference impedance.

The high-performance, low power Touch Sensor Controller is available in SSOP, SOP and QFN packages. The device features fast response time, consistent sensitivity and lowest power consumption. By enabling cost-efficient implementations and offering a high degree of design flexibility, the device provides an extremely user-friendly solution for touch sensing applications.
