Semtech Features Gennum Video Products, World’s Longest-Reach SDI (Serial Digital Interface) Equalizer and World’s Largest Crosspoint at NAB 2012

Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced it will showcase the most comprehensive, end-to-end portfolio of broadcast SDI video solutions available. This will be the first demonstration of the Gennum product line following Semtech’s acquisition of Gennum Corporation in March 2012. Semtech’s Gennum product line will be demonstrated at booth #N411, in Las Vegas next week at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) exhibition. Demonstrations will include the new GS3480 cable driver platform, the GS3440 long-reach adaptive equalizer platform, video optical module solutions and the industry-leading GX3290 video crosspoint platform.

In addition, Semtech will be hosting an invitation-only technology suite, demonstrating its next generation broadcast SDI technology platform.

“We are very excited to have the Gennum product line as part of the Semtech product offering and we are firmly committed to continued excellence and market leadership in broadcast SDI solutions,” said Mohan Maheswaran, Chief Executive Officer of Semtech Corporation.

“For more than 20 years, the Gennum brand has been the SDI solution for customers. The dedicated focus on innovative broadcast SDI technology and best-in-class application support uniquely position Semtech’s Gennum Video platforms to deliver industry-leading solutions to our broadcast customers and their real world applications,” said Gary Beauchamp, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Gennum Product Group. “Combined with Semtech, we can now offer our broadcast customers additional power, protection, touch sensing and wireless solutions.”

Semtech will showcase continued leadership in broadcast semiconductor technology with the Gennum portfolio of advanced solutions for the most demanding broadcast applications. Some of these applications include broadcast routers, multiviewers, cameras, distribution amplifiers, monitors, and satellite receivers.

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.
