We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SMD",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release DC/DC convertors provide power density boost from
FDK Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Senpai's new DC/DC convertors suit applications that require high efficiency, tight regulation and high reliability in elevated temperature environments".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release DC/DC convertors survive with minimal cooling from
FDK Corp: "The FPMR05SR75 10A Senpai DC/DC convertors provide tightly-regulated programmable output voltages in the range of 0.75 to 3.63V DC".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Crystek Corporation
concerning its CVCO55CC-1930-2110
- take a look at Oscillator operates from 1930 to 2110MHz
which says: "VCO features a typical phase noise of -110dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset and has excellent linearity".
Take a look also at the news release from Tyco Electronics UK, Chip resistors are ten-times more accurate,
as well as Tiny antenna works any way up from Premo Group,
and Resistive products deal goes global from Farnell.
