OmniVision Technologies, a developer of sophisticated digital imaging solutions, has launched a 5 MP CameraChip sensor, the OV5680. The sensor utilizes the new 1.75-ìm OmniBSI-2 pixel.
Semiconductor major, Texas Instruments (TI), has launched a new current shunt monitor that provides an excellent accuracy The INA226 device is designed as a complete single-chip solution with a digital I2C interface that has the ability to provide programmable measurements of power, voltage and current.
Sensirion has recently launched two new versions of its differential pressure sensors with-in the SDP600 series. The new sensors SDP6x0-125Pa and SDP6x0-25Pa feature particularly low measurement ranges of -125 to +125 Pa and -25 to +25 Pa, respectively. Due to their better resolution, the new products have improved zero point accuracy of 0.1 Pa. In addition, zero point repeatability reaches a remarkable 0.05 Pa for the 125Pa version and 0.03 Pa for the 25Pa version.
