APIX Industrial; Interface to connect Displays and Cameras over longer distances Logo
 
 

APIX Industrial is a standardized Interface to connect Displays and Cameras over longer distances, fullfilling all the requirements such as high temperature, EMI robustness and longterm supply to our customers.  APIX provide a unique value for applications requiring long distance - up to 15m - transmission of uncompressed Video in realtime and full duplex communication over the same cable.. Optionally also the power can be supplied over the same cable for the display or camera subsystem. There are proposed Connectors and Cables to ensure interoperatibility between the connected systems, based on RJ45 / CAT5 or Rosenberger HSD /Leoni DACAR 538.

 
PoE/PoE+ Single/Quad PSE Controller Logo
 
 

The Si3452 is the industry’s most highly integrated quad-port PoE PSE (power sourcing equipment) controller. It supports PSE systems complying with IEEE’s existing 15 W per port PoE standard, as well as the recently-ratified 30 W per port “PoE+” standard. 
The Si3461 is a single-port, IEEE 802.3at D4.2 compliant, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ PSE controller IC. The Si3461 and its comprehensive reference design simplify development efforts, reduce system costs, and eliminate specification compliance risks for designers of a broad range of systems with embedded Ethernet ports requiring the higher power capabilities of IEEE’s new PoE+ standard.

High Frequency Inductors for Core Power Applications Logo
 
 

Inductor selection in high current core power applications is based on a need for high peak current ratings and low high frequency losses. These two requirements lead designers in different directions resulting in a compromise solution. Designers are forced to select low inductance values to reduce inductor size (and ensure fast transient responses which results in high ripple currents needing to be absorbed by the inductor increasing losses) or select higher inductance values to reduce the ripple current and losses - but at a sacrifice of inductor size, efficiency and transient responses.

Simple – modern, the new compact case family Minibox 34 Logo
 
 

Besides a new design for end customer applications, an easy way to directly assemble Eurocards was also needed. With the new Minibox 34 this need is fulfilled without any compromises. Not only common can Eurocards be inserted, but also due to additional division extrusions, it is possible to directly insert different backplanes at the same time.

This enclosure can be configured in different sizes by users. Its simple construction allows the use of it as a desktop case, wall mounted box or in combination with telescopic rails. Because of standard IP40 protection and the possibility to upgrade to IP65, it can even be used in adverse conditions. The standard version of Minibox 34 is also protected by the basic EMC level which can also be upgraded.

Slim Adapter Series Logo
 
 

FSP launched the brand new external power supply – Slim Adapter! As its name, Slim Adapter emphasizes on the features of “slim, thin and mini” to challenge the notebook adapter and the ultimate in consumer’s taste! With the increasing consumers’ demands for thin and pretty 3C products, the 3C industry tends to design smaller and thinner products. In addition to the improvement of the efficiency, many large manufacturers focus on development of product miniaturization and sophistication. The minimized square measure of FSP’s brand new Slim Adapter series is only 9.5cm x 5.0cm in length/width. Its size is even smaller than a poker card and its thickness is just 1.65cm. Slim Adapter perfectly meets the market trend of slim, thin and mini. Once again, FSP creates a miracle in the power supply industry!   Read more
