Posted by Ken Cheung in Components on Wednesday, October 3, 2007

The OPA376, by Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN), is a single-supply operational amplifier with e-Trim(TM) precision and very low noise. The OPA376 combines low offset voltage of 25uA (max) and wide bandwidth of 5.5MHz in micro-packages. In addition, the device offers low noise density of 7.5nV/sq rt Hz and quiescent current of 950uA (max). [...]

4D Systems microOLED

Posted by Ken Cheung in Components on Tuesday, October 2, 2007

microOLED is the easiest way to add a small color display with sophisticated text/graphics/animations to a project. microOLEDs are compact, cost-effective, ready-made smart organic LED displays with a full-color embedded graphics controller that will deliver 'stand-alone' emissive display capability to any PIC, AVR, Basic Stamp, ARM or any other microcontroller — even a PC. Simple-to-use [...]
