Data I/O announced support for the Renesas R8C/11 “Tiny” series of microcontrollers beginning with support for the R5F211 on Data I/O’s FlashCore programming systems.
The FlashCore family includes the FlashPAK desktop programmer, the ProLine RoadRunner for inline automated handling and programming (attaching directly to the SMT feeder) and the PS offline automated handler and programming systems.
The microcontrollers are targeted at multiple applications including automotive products, consumer products, PC/networking and industrial environments. Based on the M16C architecture, the series is small in size but optimized for embedded systems applications.
High Energy Pulse Discharge capacitors reportedly set new standards of low equivalent series inductance and high pulse discharge current. ESLs of 5 nanoHenrys and pulse discharge currents of 100,000 Amps have been achieved for a 100 KV 4.0 nanoFarad unit.
The capacitors combine the oldest known inorganic dielectric, MICA, with a proprietary manufacturing process based on low-out gassing PCB technology used at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Advantages include completely solid-state construction with no sealed containers to rupture or oil to leak. Form-factor is completely flexible; units can be custom made to thicknesses less than 1/2 cm for planar transmission line installation to a standard rectangular form factor to drop-in replace lower performance capacitors. Temperature rating is 150°C.
Available ranging from 0.1 to 100 nF and from 20,000 to 200,000 Volts.
RVI58 Series Incremental Rotary Encoders provide incremental measurement outputs up to 10,000 ppr and an IP65-rated 58 mm diameter aluminum housing. Said to be good for harsh application environments requiring extremely high accuracy. The series comes standard with a shielded cable or round connector, and features quadrature and index outputs or quadrature and index plus complementary outputs. Also features a servo or clamping flange, 6 mm or 10 mm diameter shaft, alarm output and 10-30 VDC or 5 VDC power capability.
