The ESDA8V-1MX2 has smaller-dimension circuit-protection to reduce the number of battery chargers discarded and enable safer use of universal chargers. The ESDA8V-1MX2 absorbs mains-borne surges containing up to 500 Watts peak pulse energy, a level of protection which is 30% higher than the current most popular surge protector. The ESDA8V2-1MX2 has 55% smaller footprint, measuring just 1.0 x 1.45mm, thereby realizing space savings for designers to implement extra functions or to further miniaturize the end product. The ESDA8V2-1MX2 protection device also has a thinner profile of 0.55mm, compared to 0.7mm or 1.0mm for typical alternative devices. Another benefit is a 50% reduction in leakage current, which reduces drain on the battery for improved performance and longer recharge intervals...

The OpenVPXTM Industry Working Group is an independent association being formed through the alliance of more than 10 leading defense prime contractors and COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) systems developers striving to solve the interoperability issues of VPX system architectures. Mercury initiated the OpenVPX Industry Working Group, whose charter is to publish a comprehensive System Design Guide that will improve interoperability of COTS 3U and 6U VPX-based systems achieved in part by implementation of predefined system profiles...

The NCP370 is the industry’s first integrated bi-directional device, with positive and negative (+/-) overvoltage protection (OVP) for cell phones, MP3/4, PDAs and GPS systems, and overcurrent protection (OCP) for portable accessories such as FM transceiver, load speakers and flash modules. The new NCP370 significantly improves the front end protection of the portable devices by providing positive protection up to +28 volts (V) and negative protection down to -28 V. The device offers a second “reverse” mode, enabling the regulation of the reverse current coming from a portable device’s battery to supply the external accessories such as an FM transceiver, audio functions or flash capabilities universally connected on the bottom connector of the portable devices...
