Avoiding disappointing customers ...

 A recent discussion forum lists disappointed customers complaining about high battery drain in a manufacturer’s latest models. This discourages customers from buying their products! Engineers can avoid such bad publicity by using the sophisticated JS220 for accurate battery drain analysis - the careful measurement and characterization of battery consumption by IoT devices, consumer devices like phones and wearables, medical devices, and larger equipment like EVs.  The JS220 allows you to see how temperature and humidity affect battery use, evaluate how software options affect power use, and evaluate how to extend battery life by optimizing design choices.

The Joulescope™ JS220 is the most affordable and easy-to-use precision DC energy analyzer. It measures current from nA to amps, as well as voltage, then computes power and energy.  Battery-powered devices have a high dynamic current range, which makes accurate measurement difficult.

Spoofing 101: Protecting your company from digital deception.

Spoofing is a personalized tactic that fraudsters use to gain a person’s trust. Spoofers send convincing communications that appear to be from a trusted organization that the targeted individual is known to do business with.

Spoofing tactics include creating an imposter email address, sender name, phone number, or website URL — often by merely changing one letter or number — to deceive victims into believing they’re interacting with the actual, legitimate organization. Read on here:

Saelig Debuts Intona 7055 Series USB 2.0/3.0 Isolators With ESD Protection

Saelig Company has introduced the Intona 7055 Series USB 2.0/3.0 Isolators which provide galvanic isolation to any USB bus. Compliant to USB 2.0 Hi­gh-Speed 480Mbps and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps the 7055’s isolation is designed to withstand up to 5kVRMS, as well as advanced ESD protection to 20kV (IEC Air­gap discharge). The 7055 isolators work straight out of the box since no drivers are needed, and communication is transparent to both host and device (“no­hub”). These isolators offer a wide compatibility to most operating systems, embedded systems, and devices. 

Intona 7055 Series USB 2.0/3.0 Isolators are available in two versions: the Intona 7055-C model provides 1kV DC isolation, transmitting USB SuperSpeed (5 GBit/s) and Hi-Speed (480 MBit/s) while providing full galvanic capacitive isolation of both the data and the power lines; while the 7055-D model is optically isolated and provides USB 2.0 + 3.0 communication with 5kV RMS AC isolation. The 60-second Isolation Rating for the 7055­D is 5000VRMS and 1000VDC for the 7055­C model. 

The secondary side may be powered by an external auxiliary 4.5–5.0V 2A power source for power-demanding devices. Up to 500mA output current is available on the isolated side, and up to 2000mA output current when using the auxiliary power input. Power switching between the internal and external supply is automatic.

Ultra-quiet power rail isolation means less noise in highly sensitive applications, which can include: industrial automation systems, medical devices, measurement devices, test gear, environments requiring safety insulation, machine protection, broadcast and studio, audiophile-grade home systems, situations requiring clean and stable USB connections with separate grounds, etc.

Housed in an IP54 aluminum enclosure (4.7” x 2.8” x 1.2”) and weighing 11oz, Intona 7055 Series USB 2.0/3.0 Isolators are available now from Intona’s technical distributor Saelig.
