values at 25 °C — 10 kΩ, 40 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ — with tolerances down to ±2 %, a dissipation constant of 3.0 mW/°C, and thermal time constant of 6 s. The devices provide TCRs of -3.9%/°C, -4.40 %/°C, and -4.75 %/°C; beta values of 3500 °K, 3950 °K, and 4200 °K; and 32 AWG dumet wire leads. The glass-encapsulated thermistors are available direct or through distributors such as Digi-Key and Mouser. Samples and production quantities of the devices are available now, with factory lead times of six to eight weeks. Volume pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $0.41 per piece.

current of just 1mA at 5V helps maximize runtime of battery-powered devices. The extended operating-temperature range of -40°C to 125°C enables use in harsh outdoor or industrial environments. Automotive-qualified variants (TSZ182IYST) will also be available next month for precision sensor-signal conditioning in equipment ranging from simple wiper modules or climate controls to autonomous-driving systems. The TSZ182 is in production now in the Mini-SO8 or DFN8 2mm x 2mm package, priced from $0.97 for orders of 1000 units.

ON Semiconductor Unveils Innovative Modular Automotive Imaging Platform ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, has introduced the Modular Automotive Reference System (MARS) that gives system and software developers a ready-to-use camera for research and development activities. The leading- edge MARS platform enables users to reconfigure cameras with different lenses, image sensors, image signal processors (ISPs) and communications options for rapid prototyping and experimentation. The system is so flexible that it can be used for the full spectrum of automotive camera applications including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), surround and rear viewing systems, in-cabin cameras (for gesture recognition, driver eye monitoring, or light level inspection purposes), and autonomous driving. MARS enables shorter design cycles, reduced engineering costs, and assists automotive design teams in the implementation of imaging systems by providing them with a unique mix-and-match solution.

Ametherm Glass-Encapsulated Thermistors Deliver Long-Term Stability and Reliability for Automotive and Industrial Applications Ametherm today introduced a new series of glass- encapsulated thermistors that provide long-term stability and reliability for high-accuracy temperature sensing in automotive and industrial applications. Hermetically sealed, DG series devices eliminate errors in resistance readings due to moisture penetration while offering high operating temperatures and a compact size. The devices released today provide designers with faster, more accurate, and less expensive alternatives to thermocouples and RTD probes. DG series devices are free from limitations due to solder temperature, which enables them to offer users a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to +200 °C. With diameters of only 1.5 mm, the devices boast a small size that allows for encapsulation in a variety of housings, such as ring lugs and hex nuts. DG series thermistors are available in four resistance
