Hirose ' s new I / O connector offers significant space savings

Hirose has developed a rugged I / O connector with an innovative space-saving design that enables a size reduction of industrial modules . The IX Series connector provides a space savings of up to 65 % compared to RJ45 solutions , and up to 28 % compared to competing snap-in I / O connector offerings . The IX Series I / O connector combines high reliability and enhanced EMI / ESD shielding with high-speed transmission capability of 3Gbps -- all in a compact package .
Supporting CAT5 cabling , the IX Series I / O connector offers significant space-savings potential in equipment such as factory automation controllers , programmable logic controllers , servo amps , servers , robotics and more .
Available in a right angle or straight version , the IX Series I / O has maximum dimensions of 22.9mm x 8.4mm x 14.3mm . The connector receptacles can be mounted in parallel with a pitch distance of only 10mm . The narrow width of the receptacle is particularly beneficial when multiple connectors are positioned on a single PCB side-byside .

60V I ² C Battery Monitor Measures State of Charge Parameters with 1 % Accuracy

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2944 multicell battery monitor , which makes direct measurements of 3.6V to 60V battery stacks .
Absolutely no level shifting circuitry on the supply and measurement pins is required to interface with multicell voltages , so total current consumption is minimized and measurement accuracy is preserved . The LTC2944 is a true high voltage battery monitor that measures charge , voltage , current and temperature to 1 % accuracy , the essential parameters required to accurately assess battery state of charge ( SoC ).
The LTC2944 is ideal for multicell applications , including electric vehicles , ebikes / motorcycles / scooters , wheelchairs , golf carts and battery backup systems . Battery current is measured by monitoring the voltage across an external , high side sense resistor and integrating this information to infer charge . A bidirectional analog integrator accommodates either current polarity ( battery charge or discharge ), and a programmable prescaler supports a wide range of battery capacities .
