CADEKA Introduces Industry’s Lowest Power Octal ADCs

CADEKA introduces the industry’s most power efficient, eight channel analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The CDK8307 family consists of four 8-channel, 12-bit ADCs that operate at 20, 50, 65, and 80MSPS. They offer the lowest total power dissipation on the market today to enable more energy-efficient medical imaging, wireless infrastructure, test and measurement, and video equipment.

The CDK8307 employs internal reference circuitry, a serial control interface, and serial LVDS output data. Both 12-bit and 14-bit LVDS output modes are available and selected through an SPI control interface. These converters utilize proprietary pipeline architecture to offer the industry’s best power/performance ratio and are designed to easily interface with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) from several vendors.

“At 50MSPS, the power dissipation is 40mW per channel. That’s over 30% lower power than the closest competitor in its class,” explains Jay Dokter CADEKA’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Our CDK8307 is pin compatible to many devices on the market today, allowing designers of portable imaging applications to easily and significantly reduce their system power consumption without sacrificing performance or image quality.”

For additional power savings, the CDK8307 includes Power Down and Sleep Modes that drop the power consumption to <10µW and 3mW per channel respectively. In addition, the unprecedented wake-up times (18µs from Power Down and 0.5µs from Sleep) of the CDK8307 allow system designers to switch off the ADC during idle modes, reducing the system’s average power dissipation.

In addition to ultra-low power, the CDK8307 offers excellent noise performance. At 14-bits and 50MSPS, the CDK8307 outperforms the competition with 72.5dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) and 80dB spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). This unique power/performance combination makes the CDK8307 well suited for portable ultrasound equipment and a wide variety of applications in the medical, instrumentation, and communication markets.

An easy to use evaluation board is available to allow fast and cost-effective evaluation, shortening the design process.

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.
