Audio Precision has introduced a PDM 16 module for the company’s APx500 Series audio analysers. The module offers simultaneous acquisition and measurement of up to 16 channels of pulse density modulation (PDM) signals, making it the highest channel-count solution available for MEMS microphone and MEMS mic array testing, claims the company.

Evaluation kit supports energy harvesting embedded controller
For the development of battery maintenance-free IoT equipment, Renesas Electronics has introduced the RE family, which encompasses the company’s current and future line-up of energy harvesting embedded controllers. The RE Family is based on Renesas’ proprietary Silicon on Thin Buried Oxide (SOTB) process technology. SOTB is claimed to dramatically reduce power consumption in both active and standby states, eliminating the need for battery replacement or recharging.
High-side load switch uses reverse current blocking to improve reliability
The AP22912 is a 2.0A single-channel, slew rate-controlled load switch from Diodes. It has true reverse current blocking (TRCB) for high-side load-switching applications.
LDO regulator improves system life and performance, says Texas Instruments
The company says that the TPS7A02 has the industry’s lowest quiescent current of less than 25 nA, which is 10 per cent that of competing devices. The low drop out linear regulator can help double battery life in power-sensitive industrial and personal electronics.
