Avago Technologies Delivers High System Throughput with New Miniaturized Solid State Relays.Industry High Insulation Protection and Optimized Design Ideal for Sensing and Multiplexing Applications SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced an expansion of its solid state relay A relay that contains no mechanical parts. All switching mechanisms are semiconductor or thin film components. (MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged ) family of opto-isolation products. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. With input drive as low as 2mA and fast switching speeds of less than 0.5ms, Avago's new ASSR-301C/302C and ASSR-401C/402C are specifically designed for sensing and multiplexing applications, such as test and measurement and data acquisition systems, where low power consumption and high system throughput are essential. The new solid state relays provide low off-state capacitance of less than 15pF for good signal isolation and low on-resistance for less insertion loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. . Additionally, low off-state leakage of less than 10nA reduces system measurement errors. Avago's expanded ASSR ASSR abbr. Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic series feature qualified performance across a wide range of temperature range of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C, high transient immunity greater than 1 kV/ms, and an industry high of 3.75 kV in insulation protection in a miniature SO-4 package. Avago's ASSR-301C and ASSR-401C are single channel, 1 Form A relays that come in a SO4 package. The ASSR-302C and ASSR-402C are dual channel, 2 Form A relays that come in a standard DIP8 footprint. Complementary to the ASSR-301C, the low on-resistance ASSR-321R, an SO4 version of the earlier launched ASSR-322R, will be available together with this launch. Solid state relay (SSR (Scalable Sampling Rate) See AAC. SSR - Scalable Sampling Rate ) provides several advantages over mechanical relays in switching applications. Avago's SSRs offer lower power consumption and are designed to deliver faster speeds and superior insulation protection in equipment. With no moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. and smaller form factor, the new SSRs also address size-limit and reliability issues that are driving the trend to replace electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history). relay with solid state relays. The ASSR-30xC and 40xC are pending approvals in the following widely accepted international safety standards Safety standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products, activities or processes, etc. They may be advisory or compulsory and are normally laid down by an advisory or regulatory body that may be either voluntary or statutory. : UL1577, CSA (1) (Canadian Standards Association, Toronto, Ontario, www.csa.ca) A standards-defining organization founded in 1919. It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2. U.S. Pricing and Availability The ASSR-301C is priced at $1.97 each and ASSR-302C is priced at $3.60 each in 1000-piece quantities.
