Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorised global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now stocking the AR0145CS Hyperlux SG image sensors from onsemi. The AR0145CS is a 1/4.3 inch CMOS digital image sensor with a 1280 (H) x 800 (V) active-pixel array. Capturing both continuous video and single frames, the AR0145CS sensors are ideal for scanning and industrial inspection applications.

The onsemi AR0145CS Hyperlux SG image sensors, now available at Mouser, offer sophisticated camera features, including auto exposure control, pixel binning, row- and column-skip modes, and windowing. An innovative global shutter pixel design allows the sensors to capture moving scenes with speed and accuracy.

The AR0145CS image sensors include automatic black level calibration (ABLC) and produce clear, low-noise images in low-light and bright scenes. The sensors are programmable through a simple, two-wire interface and include an on-chip trigger mode for synchronization, built-in flash control, and two on-chip phase lock loops (PLLs). With this combination of features, the AR0145CS Hyperlux SG image sensors are suitable for a wide range of applications, including bar code scanners, gesture recognition, augmented reality, biometrics, surveillance, HD video, and machine vision.

As a global authorized distributor, Mouser offers the widest selection of the newest semiconductors, electronic components and industrial automation products. Mouser’s customers can expect 100% certified, genuine products that are fully traceable from each of its manufacturer partners. To help speed customers’ designs, Mouser’s website hosts an extensive library of technical resources, including a Technical Resource Center, along with product data sheets, supplier-specific reference designs, application notes, technical design information, engineering tools and other helpful information.

The new rugged, compact, and low-profile CP2816 Series integrated thin film (ITF) directional couplers satisfy cross-market demand for small, high-power couplers compatible with VHF and UHF bands.

KYOCERA AVX,a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a better future, released the new CP2816 Series integrated thin film high-directivity couplers for high-frequency wireless systems.

Developed in response to customer requests for small, high-power couplers compatible with very- and ultra-high-frequency bands, the new CP2816 Series ITF high-directivity couplers feature a rugged, compact, and low-profile 2816 (7x4mm) case and exhibit 20W continuous power handling, 50Ω impedance, and excellent high-frequency performance from 225–750MHz and -40°C to +105°C. They also exhibit a tight coupling factor over the frequency range (-10±1.2dB, -10±2dB, -15±2dB, and -15±4dB), low insertion loss extending from less than -0.8dB to less than -0.9dB, a voltage standing wave ratio of 1.3, and -14dB directivity. Additional benefits include high temperature stability, high lot-to-lot and part-to-part reliability, and repeatable RF performance.

The new CP2816 Series ITF high-directivity couplers also enable quick adjustments to RF parameters and are ideal for use in high-frequency wireless applications extending throughout the telecommunications, commercial aerospace, military and defense, and automotive markets, including active antennas, base stations, emergency systems, mobile tactical radios, VHF and UHF radios, radar systems, and test equipment.

“Our new CP2816 Series integrated thin film high-directivity couplers satisfy growing market demand for small, high-power components optimized for microwave and RF systems,” said Mohammed Abu-Naim, RF Product Manager, KYOCERA AVX. “RF engineers are being challenged to design smaller, higher-power, and more densely populated circuits, and the new CP2816 Series couplers ensure that the transmitted power meets the specification in applications like these and prevent the power amplifiers from burning out due to return power.”

The new CP2816 Series ITF high-directivity couplers feature nickel land grid array terminations equipped with a lead-free solder coating that’s compatible with automated or manual soldering processes include reflow, wave, and vapor phase. They’re also RoHS compliant, compatible with IATF 16949, manufactured in an ISO-9001 facility, and packaged on tape and reel for reliable assembly.

Automotive Grade Device Allows for Easier Integration Into Space-Constrained Designs, Offers High Resolution of 0.0026 lx/ct for Placement Behind Dark Cover Glass

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced the industry’s first AEC-Q100 qualified rectangular ambient light sensor. The Vishay Semiconductors VEML4031X00 features an ALS and highly sensitive IR photodiode in an opaque 4.38 mm by 1.45 mm surface-mount package with a low 0.6 mm profile. Occupying half the width of previous-generation solutions, the device allows for easier integration into space-constrained designs, such as bezel-less center control displays.

Highly accurate measurements are supported due to the spectral sensitivity of the Automotive Grade sensor released today, which matches that of the human eye, while its IR channel allows for light source differentiation. With an ambient light range from 0 lx to 172 000 lx, the VEML4031X00 will not saturate in daylight, while its high sensitivity of 0.0026 lx/ct allows the device to be placed behind dark cover glass.

Offering a high operating temperature range from -40 to +110 °C, the VEML4031X00 will be used for display backlight controls, infotainment systems, rearview mirror dimming, interior lighting control systems, and heads-up displays. The sensor supports the easy to use I²C bus communication interface for these applications and offers an interrupt function.

The VEML4031X00 features a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 3.6 V, I²C bus voltage range of 1.7 V to 3.6 V and low shut down current consumption of 0.5 μA typical. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the device offers a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 2a and a floor life of four weeks in accordance with J-STD-020.
