PRODUCT SHOWCASE
Infrared dynamic gesture sensor from Maxim
The MAX25405 optical sensor from
Maxim uses infrared to recognise a
variety of gestures (swipe, rotation
etc). The MAX25405 has a sensing
range up to 40cm, which makes it optimal for use in automotive applications
such as car head units.
Along with integrated optics and
a 6x10 infrared sensor array, the
MAX25405 includes a glass lens which
increases sensitivity and improves the
signal-to-noise ratio. The improved
performance doubles the sensing
range. This allows the other passengers
in a car to use gesture-sensing entertainment displays.
The MAX25405’s small 20-pin,
4x4x1.35mm QFN package comes
together with four discrete LEDs, which
ends up 75% smaller than comparable
time-of-flight (ToF) camera-based solutions. It replaces multi-IC solutions,
saving significant space.
The MAX25405 IC and associated
MAX25405EVKIT# evaluation kit are
available now from Maxim Integrated
and authorised distributors.

Digi-Key launches myLists management system
Digi-Key Electronics announced
that it has launched a consolidated
list management system, myLists, to
streamline customers’ BOM Manager,
price and availability, and favourites
into one.
Digi-Key is introducing myLists to
make it easier for customers to manage
their lists all in one place.
In addition to providing greater
convenience, myLists has over 15
features to benefit Digi-Key customers. The most notable features are an
attrition calculator to plan for overages
that account for parts lost or damaged
during manufacturing, upload up to
1000 line items per list, list view customisation, and alternatives suggested
in-line for parts when available.
Other features also include:
• Organise column order and data,
and download it in a file
• Differentiate lists and those shared
with the user into two views
• Add tags to assist with list management
• Request pricing on six different
quantities per part
• Update filter options on the parts
list
• Define list preferences for part
packaging: CT/TR or DKR/TR
• Set preferences to manage quantities that do not meet requirements
• Access to new data such as ECCN,
HTSUS, country of origin and
environmental information
• Add notes to a part
New products from Mouser Electronics
In April, Mouser launched 3,069
new parts. Some of these new components include:
Texas Instruments TMS570LS1227
16/32-Bit RISC flash micro
The TI TMS570LS1227 is ideal for
high-performance real-time control
applications where safety is critical.
The microcontroller family provides
advanced safety architecture that
includes dual CPUs in lockstep, CPU
and memory BIST logic, ECC on both
the flash and the data SRAM, and many
more features.
TE Connectivity NTSEAL
20-position connectors
TE’s NTSEAL 20-position connectors provide flexible, robust wire-towire connectivity in a compact format
for harsh environments with extreme
siliconchip.com.au
temperatures and vibrations. Applications include wire-to-wire, panel/
bulkhead mount, engine, chassis and
automation.
ROHM semiconductor
BM6437xS-VA 600V IGBT modules
The BM6437xS-VA intelligent
power modules (IPMs) integrate gate
drivers, bootstrap diodes, IGBTs and
flywheel diodes.
It has a collector current range of
15-35A and works as a 3-phase DC/
AC inverter.
