Switches Ideal For Wireless Infrastructure Market

Integrated Device Technology has launched a family of Serial RapidIO Generation 2 switches for the wireless infrastructure, defence, medical and industrial imaging and professional video markets. The switches are designed to support the Serial RapidIO 2.1 standard and leverage technology from the IDT CPS and TSI product lines. The Integrated Device Technology (IDT) Gen2 switches double the data rate up to 20Gbps while reducing power by 40 per cent and improving latency to 100 nanoseconds in cut-through mode.

The initial products include the CPS-1848 48-lane switch, with 240Gbps of non-blocking bandwidth for use in large processor clusters or backplanes, and the CPS-1616 16-lane switch with 80Gbps of non-blocking bandwidth optimised for line cards and smaller processor clusters. In addition to these switches, IDT is developing PCI Express Gen2-to-Serial RapidIO Gen2 bridges to provide options of connecting Serial RapidIO networks with PCIe-enabled processors.

The CPS-1848 and CPS-1616 were designed to interoperate with the IDT Serial RapidIO Gen2 IP being used in DSPs, microprocessor and ASICs. The IDT Serial RapidIO Gen2 switches are supported by the IDT Serial RapidIO System Modelling tool for optimising network architecture, as well as Serial RapidIO Linux open-source support and the RapidFET JTAG Edition Software for switch configuration. The IDT CPS-1848 switch is available in a 29x29mm FCBGA package. The IDT CPS-1616 is available in a 21x21mm FCBGA package.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
