The Si85xx ac current sensors provide a more reliable, cost-effective alternative to antiquated transformers for today’s modern power delivery systems. Traditional transformers are large, bulky magnetic components that contribute significant supply losses and have parasitics that complicate system design. The highly integrated ISOpro ac current sensors feature a sophisticated architecture that minimizes the need for costly discrete components for filtering and reset circuitry. An available small-footprint QFN package eases printed circuit board (PCB) space constraints with a small 4x4x1 mm profile.

Programmable logic is really flexible but it’s expensive because it’s built on a gate-based fabric with inefficient memory architectures. However, the FPGA has given a huge boost to ease and speed of product development and opened up new applications to custom silicon.

Microprocessors function in stark contrast to FPGAs and work on the basis of reusing the silicon resources on every clock cycle. If you need all the gates, all the time, the FPGA make sense. However most applications need some of the gates, some of the time, so it’s back to the processor.

The limitation of conventional microcontrollers and CPUs is that they either provide a lot of computing power or they’re very responsive to outside stimuli. Most applications need both, not one or the other.

An approach that’s now bridging the gap, and indeed replacing both FPGAs and traditional microprocessors in many applications, is the multi-tasking event-driven microprocessor.

With its 39mm width and 40mm height the new EA DOGS102-6 is the most compact graphic display by ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY. Even with this small size an analogue touch panel is available. All touch areas are defined by software. With a typical touch area of 10x10mm up to 8 touch keys have room. Thanks to the extreme compact outline, the EA DOGS102-6 is perfect to become assembled into a 19“ rack with 1 RU. It is also ideal for wall-mounted switches in premises; it could become a simple display, switch or control unit there. With 102x64 dots there is enough space for multi-line text and graphics. Congenial to the display EA provides backlight units in white and amber color, as well as a duo colored version in green and red. The white backlight does reach a brightness of incredible 2000cd/m². This leads together with the new super-white polarizor an extreme brillant display. Important for the quality is to know that 4(!) pcs. long-life NICHIA LED's are assembled. The connection to a microcontroller is done via serial interface SPI.. The power supply is single 2.7 ~ 3.3V. Current consumption stays below 150uA.  The EA DOG series provides some more display sizes as character and graphic types. Datasheet: EA DOGS102-6
