Conrad is to supply a series of physically-small 12bit oscilloscopes from Voltcraft, that stretches form 70 to 250MHz, and from two channels to four. Across they measure 260mm. “Their compact lightweight design makes these the perfect choice for field work and classroom alike,” said Conrad. The “built-in HMDI port allows mirroring display content to large screens”. Maximum sample rate is ...

Rutronik is aiming at 3-phase industrial control cabinets with a DIN-rail mount mains filter series from Schurter. “The housing, with a width of just 44mm, requires extremely little space on the mounting rail,” said distributor Rutronik. “The single-stage filter is available as a standard version or with high attenuation. FPAC RAIL impresses above all with its leakage current of just ...

Renesas has introduced a high-end AI MCU family with triple processors and security. The highest spec devices in the ‘RA8P1’ microcontroller family combine a 1GHz Arm Cortex-M85 processor with a 256 MAC/cycle 400MHz Arm Ethos-U55 neural processing unit and a 250MHz Cortex-M33 CPU. “This combination delivers CPU performance of over 7,300 CoreMarks and AI performance of 256Gop/s,” according to the ...
