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.
