New from Relec Electronics! HDMI displays with -30°C operation

Relec’s next generation HDMI (High Definition Multi-media Interface) TFT displays offer a simple and fast method to integrate a display into your product. 

The entire family has an operational temperature range of -20° to +70°C, but the 4.3" and 5.0" displays are available with standard operating temperatures from -30° to +80°C. Relec’s HDMI displays have an integrated HDMI to LVDS conversion module on board. You simply connect the display with any SBC (Single Board Computer) or computer device with an HDMI output. They provide the ideal HDMI display for use with Raspberry Pi, UP or iBASE computers.

HDMI displays are available in 4.3, 5, 7, 8, 10.1, 11.6, 12.1. 13.3 and 15.6" modules and include backlight and audio as well as a standard HDMI input.

Relec is also able to integrate to latest generation PCAP touch panels, designed for use in the harshest of environments, including glove touch, high signal to noise ratios, operation in wet environments and optical bonding.

Low cost, highly flexible DC DC control ICs

Relec is now able to sample a range of very low cost but highly flexible control ICs and SMD transformers which give the designer ultimate control of their project.

The SCM1201A is a push-pull PWM controller IC with integrated power MOSFET’s. To maximise the reliability, the chip design has incorporated three key technologies:

1. a soft start function which avoids the impact of booting up under high current conditions that potentially could harm the device, hence ensuring a normal start-up in constant current mode.
2. output short-circuit protection with such a good consistency, which will not be impaired by any deviation in power supply parameters, or operating temperature conditions including operation down to -40°C.
3. integrated over temperature protection. If the temperature exceeds the specified range, the controller automatically puts itself into a sleep mode and subsequently self-recovers once the temperature drops below the set threshold value into a safe operating range.

A range of SMD mounted transformers which can be tailored to your design is also available. Call the technical team today for more information.

Railtex 2019 – Thank you to all our visitors

A big thank you to everyone who attended Railtex 2019 and especially those who visited the Relec stand. The show was a fantastic showcase of the latest technology in the UK rail industry.

Relec was delighted to have the first opportunity to showcase the new RCM60 wide input EN50155 compliant DC DC converters. The RCM60 has an ultra-wide input range of 16.8 – 137.5V covering all standard train battery voltages from 24V through to 110V and operation down to -40°C.
