2.5mm² low power angle sensor
Developed using Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology the new AAT001-10E
angle sensor has been developed for applications such as: rotary encoders,
motor shaft and knob position sensors. The sensor is made up of an
array of four TMR elements rotated at 90 degree intervals and connected
in a bridge configuration. The output represents the sine and cosine
functions of the magnetic field applied to the sensor. When this magnetic
field is rotated above the sensor the outputs can be used to determine
the resultant angle with an accuracy within 3°.More...
Miniature PCB mount pressure sensors
With pressure ranges from 0-1 bar to 0-35 bar the new HSS series of pressure sensors is ideal for PCB mount applications. The device consists of a piezo-resistive pressure sensor die mounted on a 6.3 x 6.9 mm FR4 or ceramic carrier protected by a metal cap. With a typical full scale linearity of 0.15% and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C these sensors can be used in demanding applications such as: high resolution altimeters, engine controls and tyre pressure monitoring systems.

Single chip 40Mbps isolated Profibus interface
The new IL3685 galvanically isolated interface enables designers to have a fully Profibus compliant design while at the same time simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count when compared to a traditional opto isolator based circuit. Designed using patented IsoLoop Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) technology, this high-speed differential bus transceiver is designed for bidirectional data communication on balanced transmission lines and can achieve a data rate of up to 40Mbps.More...
ISM band RF transmitter/receiver modules
A new range of low cost high performance RF modules for the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band is now available from Rhopoint Components. The modules use a FSK modulated signal in the 315/433/868/915MHZ bands and comply with FCC and ETSI regulations. Communication with other electronics is achieved via a SPI interface which means that these devices are easy to integrate into designs. More...
Isolated USB application
USB is well supported in industry and has become a standard way of connecting peripherals to PCs.
Isoloop isolators offer a good solution of providing a 2500V isolated
USB without sacrificing data rate. The isolators used in this example
work up to 120Mbps. More....
GMR non contact current measurement
Ideal for low current detection, the new AAV003-10E is a highly linear, extremely low hysteresis GMR (Giant Magneto Resistance ) current sensor with an on-chip current strap. A GMR bridge sensor element close to the strap senses the current. The output of the bridge voltage is bipolar and proportional to the current through the strap over a -80 to +80 mA input range.More...
Memory backup supercapacitors
The SEC range of 'supercapacitors', available from Rhopoint Components, is an attractive energy storage option which helps to bridge the gap between conventional capacitors and batteries. Available in values between 470,000uF and 1,000,000uF these devices can replace secondary batteries in electronic systems. The charge / discharge circuit for these is very simple and being capacitors they can store or release energy very quickly ,which makes them ideal in for use in energy recovery systems. More...
