‘Dip Switches’
A Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
Tundra launches Tsi577 Serial RapidIO switch from
Tundra Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Tundra Semiconductor has announced the Tundra Tsi577 Serial RapidIO switch.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Switches and sensors for lock and security systems from
Cherry Electrical Products: "Cherry Electrical Products has introduced a range of switch and sensor products for the OEM lock and security systems market. ".
In October 2008, we covered the news from Diodes Incorporated
- take a look at Converters target portable consumer electronics
which says: "Diodes Incorporated has announced the first in a series of synchronous DC/DC converters specifically targeted at portable consumer electronics.".
Take a look also at the news release from Molex UK, Molex interfaces have proximity sensors ,
as well as Maxim launches integrated circuit protector from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Maxim brings out integrated power-management IC from Maxim Integrated Products.
