Win a development kit - Four-Member PIC24F Family enables quick development via free USB software library
 
Microchip Technology has announced the four-member PIC24FJ256GB210 microcontroller family, which integrates USB for Embedded Host/Peripheral/On-the-Go and 96 Kbytes of RAM. This large RAM enables the buffering of sizeable amounts of data and better overall throughput, for applications such as Ethernet connectivity, remote sensing, data logging and audio streaming.
 
Request limited samples - Vicor Wide range input Mini Brick 

Vicor has announced the addition of a new 28 V Wide Input Mini range of DC-DC Converters to complete the family of Wide range input products. ACAL are pleased to be supporting this new release with limited availability of samples for qualifying projects. With a wide input range of 9 to 36 V, the modules are appropriate for MIL-COTS and industrial applications operating from 12V or 24 V inputs, which are typical for battery systems in vehicles.

Actel Power Management Solutions
 
The SmartFusionTM MPM solution delivers advanced power management that is easily configured via a configuration GUI, enabling system designers to effortlessly integrate and configure intelligent power management with their ARM® CortexTM-M3 based embedded designs. Actel's graphical design configuration approach enables power management thresholds to be set, voltage trimming to be configured and sequencing functionality to be updated without changing the circuitry programmed into the FPGA fabric.
 
New signal interface unit from North Atlantic
 
North Atlantic Industries has announced the release of the Sensor Interface Unit, SIU 6 - a rugged, compact, embedded I/O system for remote data processing, acquisition and distribution for platform monitoring and control system applications. This high functional density, base-plate cooled system features COTS Multifunction I/O Boards with integrated rugged Power Supply. The rugged chassis is designed to operate in harsh environments such as extreme temperature, EMI, shock and vibration.
 
Lantronix Matchport® NR 
 
The MatchPort® NR is the 'no radio' pin compatible sibling in the MatchPort b/g (2.4Ghz WiFi). The MatchPort NR has common platform form factor for a family of wired and wireless modules as well as the ability to build ethernet or IP networking into your products quickly and easily.
 
 
Sensors for all areas 
 
Sensors provide a low cost opportunity to differentiate your products from competitors. Choice is always a good thing, but when you've got choices, making a sound decision can be difficult. In the event that there is a requirement to choose an accelerometer for a new project, you can start from the bottom up.
 
2.4Ghz WirelessHart RFM
 
Adding to ACAL's exstensive range of products including power modules, fibre optics and rugged systems available for the Industrial Hazardous area sector. RFM have released the XDM2510H. Based on DUST Networks' IA-510(H) WirelessHARTTM technology, the RFM XDM2510H module is designed to provide ultra-reliable communications and ultra-low-power for ultra-long battery life in a wide range of sensor network applications.
