smaller bill of materials (BOM) and reduced board space, as well as helping with easier and faster system certification. For more information, see www.ti.com/ isow-pr. Key features and benefits of the ISOW7841 Eighty percent higher efficiency: With the industry’s lowest power consumption, the ISOW7841 reduces device operating temperature by up to 40 degrees C, enabling higher power delivery, higher channel count and longer system lifetime than other integrated solutions. Single-chip reinforced isolated power and data up to 100 Mbps: Combining reinforced isolation and DC/ DC conversion in a single package minimizes board space and cost for easier multichannel system design. A working voltage of 1 kVrms helps provide improved system reliability and lifetime. The ISOW7841 supports an input voltage range of 3V to 5.5V, while delivering an industry best 0.65W of output power. More than 10-dB lower radiated emissions: The ISOW7841 improves system signal integrity by minimizing system noise and providing robust electromagnetic compatibility to meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61000-4-x standards for electrostatic discharge and electrical fast transient events. Additionally, the reinforced isolator offers the highest level of immunity available in the market today reducing the effect of noise and high-voltage events on the industrial equipment. The ISOW7841 reinforced isolator with a three forward/ one backward channel configuration is the first device in the ISOW78xx family, with multiple devices expected later in 2017. These new devices join TI’s isolation portfolio that supports the highest isolation ratings, Designers can quickly and easily evaluate the new reinforced isolator with the ISOW7841 evaluationmodule (ISOW7841EVM), available today for US$49 from the TI store and authorized distributors. Engineers can also jump-start their system design with the integrated signal and power reference designs for isolated RS- 485 and RS-232. Additionally, another reference design is available to help integrate reinforced isolation and reliability, immunity and performance. Tools and support to speed design

Vishay Intertechnology High Speed PIN Photodiode Delivers Precise Signal Detection, Enables Slim Sensor Designs for Wearables Device Offers Enhanced Sensitivity for Visible Light in 5 mm by 4 mm SMD Package With Low 0.9 mm Profile Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today broadens its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of a new high speed silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity for visible light. Offered in a compact 5 mm by 4 mm top-view, surface-mount package with a low 0.9 mm profile, the Vishay Semiconductors VEMD5080X01 offers fast switching times and low capacitance for precise signal detection in wearable devices and medical, industrial, and automotive applications. Offering a large radiant-sensitive area measuring 7.5 mm² — and high radiant sensitivity with a reverse light current of 45 µA and dark current of 0.2 nA — the device released today detects visible and near infrared radiation over a wide sensitivity range from 350 nm to 1100 nm. For green LEDs, the VEMD5080X01’s sensitivity represents a 30 % improvement over previous-generation solutions. When used with Vishay’s VLMTG1400 green LED, the photodiode’s small size and sensitivity enable slim sensor designs for optical heart rate detection in wearable devices such as fitness trackers and smart watches.
