Maxim Secure Authenticators
In addition, the MAX32560 (running the DeepCover Security Framework) protects payment terminals and IoT devices from both local and remote attacks, even if weaknesses are exploited in the communications stack, by enabling a trusted environment on an Arm Cortex-M open platform. The software framework achieves this level of protection by separating the software architecture into protected “boxes” or containers. In addition, the framework also eliminates the need for designers to re-certify variants of their products, saving certification costs.

Microsemi QML Certification of Radiation-Tolerant Telemetry Controller IC
As the first member of Microsemi's radiation-tolerant Space System Manager (SSM) family of special purpose mixed signal devices, launched in March 2015, the LX7730 integrates the required functions in satellite telemetry systems. These functions include a 64-channel analog multiplexer, a 12-bit analog to digital converter, break-before-make switching and a precision adjustable current source. It supports parallel or dual serial peripheral interfaces (SPIs) and also provides cold sparing.
Detailed technical specifications are available on Microsemi’s website.
RS Components Connectors and Cables
The RS Pro products include IP68 waterproof connectors featuring plastic shells and cable and panel mount options that are available in 13, 17 and 21mm panel cut out types. Also included are washdown M8 and M12 connectors that are sealed to IP69K and are ideal for use in the food and beverage industry. These connectors are supplied in plastic housing with stainless steel coupling nuts, and offer resistance against chemicals and oil.

TI LED Lighting Controller
Conventional LED drivers integrate the MOSFET, which limits designers’ ability to customize features. With that type of driver, they must often make significant design modifications to achieve the desired system performance. The TPS92830-Q1 LED controller’s on-board features give designers the freedom to select the best MOSFET for their system requirements. With this approach, they can more quickly and efficiently optimize their lighting power designs for automotive system requirements and desired dimming features.
