Low noise, high voltage chip dividers now available up to 4KV
High voltage applications frequently require high resistance value resistors with the ability to handle high working and overload voltages. Engineers may have difficulty finding thick film chip resistors with the required precision for applications requiring tight resistance tolerance and TCR tracking. For precision high-voltage applications, a high-voltage divider chip can be beneficial. Stackpole’s new HVCD […]
15mm² active area silicon photodiodes for 300-560nm sensitivity
Marktech Optoelectronics has introduced new Series 4 silicon photodiodes with improved response speed. These photodiodes offer a response time of 25ns compared to the 80ns of current Series 4 PDs with the same active area. The new silicon photodiodes feature reduced junction capacitance (Cj), which improves response time, frequency response, and bandwidth. This is achieved […]
