ATP INDUSTRIAL SD CARDS

/in , /by

Being a leading provider of NAND and DRAM flash memory module solutions with high performance, superior quality and durability, ATP has a series of industrial SD cards at the head of the market.

With reliable performance in any environment, these reinforced flash products are designed to work constantly in conditions of extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and humidity. Its SIP (System-in-Packaging) manufacturing process, encapsulates all exposed components and points of failure to ensure that the products are fully waterproof (IEC 60529 IPX7), dustproof (IEC 60529 IP6X), shockproof, and ESD (electrostatic discharge). The memories can withstand an extended temperature range from -40ºC to +85ºC.

ATP SD/SDHC/SDXC industrial cards are designed for applications in demanding sectors such as automotive, healthcare, aviation, where there is critical data that requires the highest level of reliability, duration, and data integrity. SD/uSD and CF cards are available in different NAND Type configurations (MLC, SLC and SLC mode).

All ATP products come with a fixed BOM policy, which will guarantee the very same product over the entire lifespan until it becomes EOL.

 

Industrial Micro SD

Within the family of industrial SD cards, the ATP micro SD has multiple features for industrial applications such as military, automotive, marine, aviation, etc. Their MTBF (meantime between failures) at 25°C is 5,000,000 hours, and it has capacities from 512MB to 64GB.

 

 

Industrial Compact Flash

Another kind of cards within the ATP SD series is the Compact Flash. Its S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) functionality controls different resistance and reliability parameters, signaling activity outside the normal range. This information helps predict storage errors to take preventive measures. Their MTBF (meantime between failures) at 25 ° C is 2,000,000 hours, and it has capacities from 512MB to 32GB.

New Knowledge Center

/in , /by

The new Knowledge Base is here. This new website tool, allows any user to access in a simple and intuitive way to all the MTX software manuals indexed contents:

  • MTX-Titan: firmware built-in in all the MTX-Router-Titan family devices.
  • MTX-Tunnel: optional firmware compatible will all MTX modems, turning them into powerful 4G/3G/2G gateways (coming soon).

The MTX website Knowledge Base is a functionality that will grow as more contents are added. Right now it has all the contents of the manuals of the Titan and Tunnel, and soon it will feature all the application notes. Its biggest perk are the internal links within the content, that allow to easily navigate the different sections. In addition, there’s a table of contents on the right column, so the user can go to a different section without the need to go back. This tool is specifically made to help users with questions about MTX software, so they can easily find answers.

You can access to the Knowledge Base from the main menu “SUPPORT.” You can also have a look on the following link.

COB ámbar Landmark, la solución para iluminación sostenible

/in , , /by

Recientemente, varias comunidades autónomas españolas han empezado a tomar conciencia sobre la problemática de la contaminación lumínica sobre todo en sus ciudades, y están en camino de implementar unas normativas que  persiguen una iluminación sostenible que sea más respetuosa con el medio ambiente y por lo tanto mejore la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos.

Estas normativas, indican que los proyectos de iluminación exterior a implementar en un futuro deben ser de luz ámbar con un índice espectral G mayor de un valor determinado dependiendo de la zona lumínica en la que se desee instalar el proyecto:

Zona lumínica Índice espectral G
E1, E2 y E3 insertas en E1 G > 2,0
E3 G > 1,5
E4 G > 1,0

Ante esta nueva circunstancia, Matrix cuenta con la solución de iluminación adecuada a la nueva normativa, el COB Landmark de Bridgelux, que es el único del mercado que cumple con todos los requisitos. Estos COB LEDs cuentan con diferentes formatos, desde Vero, Vero SE y V. Se han medido en condiciones de 25ºC y 85ºC, con un resultado de 2,6, lo que significa que se cumple con el índice espectral requerido en cualquiera de las zonas lumínicas. Esta solución es perfecta para preservar y acentuar la belleza de edificios históricos, minimizar el reflejo, y mejorar la seguridad callejera.

El COB Landmark se convierte así en la mejor alternativa de iluminación para los fabricantes de luminarias de exterior que quieran competir en el mercado de iluminación sostenible del futuro, adaptado a las necesidades de los ciudadanos y del medio ambiente.

A continuación podéis ver los diferentes modelos del COB Landmark. Para más información, consultad la página de LEDs multichip especiales, o contactad con nuestro equipo de ventas.

New Inventronics Long Lifetime Drivers, 10-year warranty

/in , /by

Inventronics has announced the release of a new series of LED drivers with a revolutionary design backed by a 10-year warranty. These Controls-Ready, programmable drivers were specifically designed with the intentions to provide a robust, industry-leading driver for those applications requiring extremely long operation life. They are ideal for industrial, bay, street, roadway, area and tunnel lighting.

The new EUD-DTL/DVL drivers are the result of several years of development and examination of the weak links in driver design. One unique aspect is that it eliminates the main weakness in LED drivers; the electrolytic capacitor. Electrolytic capacitors are adversely impacted by the elevated temperatures commonly found in solid state lighting fixtures. By removing the use of electrolytic capacitors in addition to introducing other novel design and manufacturing techniques, the drivers have an ultra-long lifetime.

The new series offers several models supplying 96W, 150W and 240W power ranges and operate over a 90-305Vac input voltage range. They provide a high-level of design flexibility with programmable output currents from 450-6700mA and multiple dimming options including 0-10V, PWM and 3 timer options. This helps to reduce inventory and removes the need to design-in a new LED driver for multiple configurations.

The EUD-DTL/DVL series is controls-ready and ideal for operation with a wide variety of sensory and controls since it’s equipped with dim-to-off capabilities and an always-on 12V auxiliary supply sourcing up to 200mA. This allows them to power Inventronics controls modules directly, bypassing the power and voltage restrains associated with power packs and AC relays.

In addition to the new, more robust and innovative design, the series is IP67 rated (DTL version is also TYPE HL), which is great for environmentally harsh indoor and outdoor conditions such as street, area, bay and tunnel lighting. The EUD-DTL/DVL series also features over-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protection, plus a higher level of built-in surge protection: 6kV line-to-line and 10kV line-to-earth. These drivers implement the new external over temperature protection for LED modules, another key factor in significantly improving reliability and extending lifetime.

The new series is approved to UL, FCC, ENEC, CCC, TUV, CE, KS and CB standards. Production quantities of the EUD-096SxxxDTL/DVL, EUD-150SxxxDTL/DVL and EUD-240SxxxDTL/DVL series are available now:

Let’s get into the history of innovation.
