Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Avago's ASSR-1510/1511/1520 (60V, 1.0A, 0.5ohm) claim the fastest switching speed available in the 1.0A SSR market.
Along with the ASSR-15xx, the ASSR-4110/4120 (400V, 0.12A, 25ohm) and ASSR-1410/1420 (60V, 0.6A, 1.0ohm) products are available as a 1 Form A (single-channel) SSR with MOSFET output in a SO-4 package and as a 2 Form A (dual-channel) SSR in a DIP-8 package.
Each product family features qualified performance across a wide temperature range of -40 to +85C, fast switching speed of less than 1ms and high transient immunity greater than 1kV/ms.

IR transceiver slims down to fit latest PDAs
Agilent Technologies has announced a new serial infra-red (SIR) transceiver that is ideal for new-generation personal information devices, such as PDAs, which are becoming increasingly thinner.
The miniature SO-4 package size gives designers much needed board space without compromising insulation performance.
Designers are in search of ways to efficiently and quickly switch signals and power in their products for factories or for homes without sacrificing performance or safety.
Size limitations and reliability are also critical issues that are driving the trend of replacing electromechanical relay with solid state relays.
"Avago's solid state relays with enhanced features generated significant interest in the marketplace, and today's announcement of our ASSR product series demonstrates our commitment to continuously expand our portfolio", said Kheng-Jam Lee, Worldwide Marketing Manager of Avago Technologies' Optical Communication Solutions Division.
"By leveraging our proven track record in delivering high-performance, high-quality products, our ASSR family gives us products which complement our strong position in optocouplers, and thus allow us to expand aggressively into the relays markets".
Relays are found in a wide variety of applications; ranging from long-life applications such as digital I/O cards for industrial control and analogue circuits in automated test equipment to consumer applications such as modems for telecommunications and detectors or surveillance circuits for security equipment.
The products are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
Avago will demonstrate its new products on Booth 243 in Hall A4 at Electronica this week in Munich until 17th November 2006. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
