ADI: electrometer-grade amplifier
improves accuracy of chemical
analysis instruments
Analog Devices introduced an electrome-
ter-grade operational amplifier that enables
chemical analysis instruments to achieve the
highest level of precision and data repeat-
ability over a wider temperature range in a
compact solution that reduces overall bill of
materials and design footprint.
R&S: BTC broadcast test center
features new compliance tests
The R&S BTC test center and R&S AVBrun
compliance test software have been in use by
the National Broadcast and Telecommunica-
tions Commission (NBTC) in Thailand and
the Vietnam Telecommunication Authority
(VNTA) since June 2015. In Thailand, the

ers and prepare for rollout.
Innodisk: cable-less SATA power
technology for disk-on-module SSDs
Innodisk announces its latest series of SATA-
DOM disk-on-module SSDs featuring a new
cable-less power technology. This latest series
of SATADOM and ServerDOM come in the
same compact form factor but feature a new
way of delivering power to the flash drive
directly through the SATA connector itself for
less clutter and superior reliability. The new
patented Pin 8 technology powers a series
of SATADOM drives which will come in a
variety of compact form factors and flash fla-
vors including SLC, MLC and iSLC, as well as
DRAM-less versions for 100% data integrity
in the face of power loss.
