‘Cmos Image Sensor’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
LTC6801 device monitors up to 12 battery cells from
Linear Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Linear Technology has announced the LTC6801, a high-voltage battery stack fault monitor that operates without a microprocessor and without the need for optocouplers or isolators. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Baolab NanoEMS constructs MEMS within CMOS wafer from
Baolab Microsystems: "Baolab Microsystems has launched a new technology to construct nanoscale micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) within the structure of the CMOS wafer using standard, high-volume CMOS lines.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from Deposition Sciences
- take a look at Deposition Sciences provides LWIR bandpass filters
which says: "Deposition Sciences provides long wavelength infrared (LWIR) bandpass filters with good operation at any temperature between ambient and 10-deg K.".
Take a look also at the news release from MSC Vertriebs, ETX platform based on dual-core D510 processor,
as well as Energy Micro offers starter kit for EFM32 Gecko from Energy Micro,
and Adept adds Tag4M Wi-Fi sensor tag to product range from Adept Scientific.
