LTC2656 DAC Has 0.1 Percent Gain Error


Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2656, a 16-bit octal digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) that offers +/-4LSB INL maximum over temperature. The combination of 0.1 per cent (max) gain error and +/-2mV (max) offset error ensure that LTC2656 remains accurate near the supply rails and provides the user with a wider effective-output range.

The LTC2656's precision specifications make it suitable for multichannel open- and closed-loop systems typically found in communication systems, industrial process control, automated test equipment (ATE) and programmable logic controllers. The converter integrates a precision reference that achieves 2ppm/C typical and 10ppm/C maximum temperature coefficient. By integrating the reference in its 20-pin 4 x 5mm QFN and TSSOP packages, the LTC2656 offers further space reduction for densely packed circuit boards.

Operating from a single 2.7 to 5.5V supply, supply current is 375uA per DAC with the reference activated. The LTC2656 offers 8.5us settling time for a half-scale step and less than 1nVs crosstalk, resulting in minimal disturbance between DAC channels. The DAC communicates via a four-wire SPI-compatible interface up to 50MHz and offers a range of options to meet application-specific requirements. Designers can choose between 16 or 12-bit resolution and an internal 1.25 or 2.048V reference, which produces a full-scale output voltage of 2.5 or 4.096V.

Alternatively, an external reference up to half the supply voltage can be for rail-to-rail operation. The LTC2656 also includes a hardware option to power up the DAC outputs at zero scale or midscale. 16- and 12-bit DACs are available in production volumes along with the LTC2657, an I2C-compatible 16-bit octal DAC.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards. As well a

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

SMOKE SPILL INDUCTION MOTORS

STANDARDS AS 1668, AS 1359, BS 7349, BS 4999, BS 5000, IEC 34, IEC 72. GENERAL Western Electric Smoke Spill motors are designed to meet the requirements of Bitish and Australian Standards. AS 1668. 1 states that the objectives of Smoke Control are:         a) to vent smoke from the fir-affected compartment: and         b) to reduce the spread of smoke to fire isolated exits and other compartments.   In general Smoke Spimm motors are required to continue to operate driving extraction fans in a building, in the case of a fire. Usually these motors operate air circulation fans as part of the normal operation of the building, however if a fire occurs they must continue to operate for a period of time to extract smoke and\or dangerous fumes from the building and allow rescue services some assistance in rescuing any occupants still in the building. it is expected that hte fumes being extracted will be at high temperatures, well above normal ambients
