Wet tantalum capacitor
In October 2013, Vishay Intertechnology launched a wet tantalum capacitor approved as per Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) drawing 13017 for avionics and aerospace. The tantalum-cased capacitor features improved reverse voltage for higher performance and enhanced vibration and thermal shock capabilities for increased reliability. The 13017 electrolytic capacitor is optimised for timing, filtering, energy hold-up, and pulse power applications in power supplies for space and avionics equipment. Offered in the axial T1, T2, T3 and T4 case sizes, the device features voltage from 25 V to 125 V, and capacitance from 10 µF to 680 µF.

Energy measurement chipset
In October 2013, Maxim Integrated launched the compact MAX78700/MAX78615+LMU isolated energy measurement chipset with preloaded, field-upgradeable firmware. The chipset addresses challenges by integrating a unique isolated interface between the analogue (MAX78700) and digital (MAX78615) domains, and requires only a single pulse transformer. It has several features including high integration that integrates non-volatile memory, upgradeable measurement firmware, isolated power delivery up to three MAX78700s (from a single MAX78615), and an isolated data path between ICs using a single pulse transformer.

32-bit microcontrollers
In October 2013, Renesas Electronics Corporation launched the RX600 series 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), including 15 new devices for commercial and building automation applications. The new MCUs feature a built-in PDC (parallel data capture unit) that allows the direct connection of a CMOS camera module, making it easy and cost effective to build applications with image capture. The microcontrollers can access an internal flash even while operating at 100 MHz, thus achieving a high performance of 165 DMIPS (Dhrystone MIPS).

PV05/10(R) series of photovoltaic power products
In October 2013, Mornsun launched a new series of photovoltaic power products called the PV05/10(R) series, an upgraded version of the PV05/10 series. Compared to the PV05/10 series, it has a 200-1200V DC ultra-wide input range (6:1). Its efficiency in high voltage input improves by 5-12 per cent, making it widely applicable in the photovoltaic power generation and high voltage inverter fields. It is efficient and reliable, and has various protection functions like input under-voltage protection, output over-voltage protection, short circuit protection and reverse input protection.
