Charger IC delivers 2 A, tiny size for feature-rich mobiles




The AAT3620, the industry’s first fully integrated single-cell lithium-ion battery charger, can supply up to 2–A charge-current in a 3 x 3-mm TDFN package. The dual-mode IC provides a switching charger during constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV) modes. To minimize EMI and RFI emission, the device switches to linear mode during CV mode where power dissipation is at a minimum.

Low-cost FPGA family offers multiprotocol 3.2-G SerDes





65-nm devices are said to offer lowest power consumption available
The third-generation low-cost 65-nm LatticeECP3 FPGA family offers multiprotocol 3.2-G SerDes with XAUI jitter compliance, DDR3 memory interfaces, and DSP capabilities. The devices have 17-K to 149-K logic elements and are said to take 85% less static power and 50% less dynamic power than equivalent Virtex and Stratix parts

Affordable thermal camera fits into shirt pocket




The camera’s Thermal-on-Visible mode allows for radiometric temperature data to be displayed over a photo image on its 2.7-in., 160 x 120-pixel LCD. The unit has a 20° to 350°C (−4° to 662°F) measuring range, 10-cm minimum focal length, autofocus from 1.3 m to infinity, and high/low-temperature alarm.
So users can analyze the JPEG-format thermal data on a laptop or other mobile device, the unit has SD card, USB, and video-output capability. MikroSpec 4.0 software is included for image analysis and reporting
