http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx - Future Electronics is pleased to announce the availability of AS3935 Franklin Lightning Sensor from ams. Named after Benjamin Franklin, it's the world's first IC that is able to detect both ground-strike and cloud-to-cloud lightning with distance to storm calculation, starting from 40km down to 1km. The AS3935 Franklin Lightning Sensor can be designed into applications to provide advanced warning of approaching electrical storms, giving people extra time to prepare and take shelter.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx - During this video, we’ll explain what is a Gyroscope as well as how to select the right Gyroscope for your application from our line-up of Gyroscope products. A gyroscope, gyro sensor, angular rate sensor or angular velocity sensor is a device that can sense angular velocity. Gyro sensors can sense rotational motion and changes in orientation and therefore augment motion.  Vibration gyro sensors can sense angular velocity due to the Coriolis force which is applied to a vibrating element.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx - A proximity sensor is an electronic sensor capable of detecting the presence of nearby objects without physical contact. It emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation and then looks for changes in the return signal or field. Depending on the proximity sensor targets, different sensors may be used. For example, an inductive proximity sensor requires a metallic target, whereas a capacitive photoelectric sensor may be suitable for a plastic target.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx - A microprocessor development board is a printed circuit board containing a microprocessor as well as the minimal support logic needed for a programmer to become acquainted with the microprocessor on the board. Microprocessor development boards can be used as a way to prototype applications in products. One advantage of a Microprocessor is its speed, which is measured in hertz. Another advantage of a Microprocessor is that it can quickly move data between the various memory locations.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx - During this video, we’ll explain what is a Motion Sensor as well as how to select the right chip for your application from our line-up of Motion Sensor products. A motion sensor is an electronic device that is used for motion detection. Motion sensors are a vital component of comprehensive security systems for businesses and homes. An electronic motion detector contains a motion sensor which transforms the detected motion into an electric signal.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx Advanced lithium batteries are ideal for harsh environments because they can operate in extreme temperatures and have the highest energy per unit weight and highest energy per unit density out of all battery chemistries. Lithium thionyl chloride batteries come either in spiral wound cells or bobbin-type cells, with spiral bound having high current pulse capability – resulting in higher current draw and higher self-discharge; and bobbin-type having higher energy density, higher capacity, a wider temperature range and longer lifetime.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx During this video, we’ll explain what is an Accelerometer as well as how to select the right chip for your application from our line-up of Accelerometer products. A UART, or Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter, is an integrated circuit used for serial communications that contains a receiver and a transmitter. A UART takes bytes of data and transmits the individual bits in a sequential fashion.

http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Pages/index.aspx This video explains what is LVDS as well as how to select the right low-voltage differential signalling chip for your application from our LVDS products. LVDS, or low-voltage differential signalling is very popular in computers, where it forms part of very high-speed networks and computer buses. It is a high-speed digital interface that is used for several applications that require high noise immunity and low power consumption for high data rates. The LVDS standard provides guidelines defining the electrical characteristics for driver output and receiver input of an LVDS interface.
