Smallest nine-axis motion sensor is compact for smart watches
Housed in a compact 2.5 x 3.0 x 0.95mm3 package, the BMX160 is the smallest nine-axis motion sensor in the industry, claims Bosch Sensortec.
Dual colour and IR diode replace two leaded diodes
To save space in wearable devices and medical patient monitoring systems, a dual-colour red and IR emitting diode is designed to save space. Vishay Semiconductors offers the diode in a compact 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.87mm package.
TVS diode arrays protect smart watches and medical devices
Bidirectional discrete TVS diode arrays in the SP1026 series are designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damage due to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Littelfuse uses Zener diodes fabricated using a proprietary silicon avalanche technology to protect each I/O pin to provide a high level of protection against ESD. The robust, general-purpose diodes can absorb repetitive ESD strikes at ±30kV (contact discharge, IEC 61000-4-2) without performance degradation, says the company. Each diode can dissipate 5A of 8 or 20micro sec surge current (IEC61000-4-5) with very low clamping voltages.
