AMPHENOL ICC
OSFP Interconnect System
http://www.amphenol-icc.com
Designed from the ground up for higher
speeds, the OSFP IO system from Amphenol
ICC is an industry-standard eight-transmission
lane-based connector, cage and cable (copper and
optical) interconnect system. What’s significant is that
it is designed to support present and future aggregate per
port bandwidth needs from 200G and 400G to 800G and
takes into account the requirements of mechanical robustness,
electrical performance, and thermal management.
In addition, the highly integrated system features a com-
plete I/O system that offers fully shielded connectors and
cages in multiple configurations (ganged and stacked) that
accept both copper-based and optical-based interconnect
components (cables, transceivers, etc.) as well as passive
and active copper cables and active optical cables (AOC).
Because the system design addresses the necessary mechani-
cal, electrical, and thermal requirements, designers can plug
in short-length (cables) or short-range/long-range optical
transceivers without worrying about proper system thermalmanagement or the capability to accept any of the media.
Other features include dual eight-pair or single 16-pair
wire support, 32 AWG–26 AWG cable sizes, 15-W single-port
dissipative heat capacity, and integrated heat-sink and airflow
channels as part of the module design.BOSCH SENSORTEC
BMA400 Accelerometer
http://www.bosch-sensortec.com
Bosch Sensortec’s BMA400, an ultra-low-power acceleration
sensor for wearables and IoT applications, draws 10× less current
than existing accelerometers while delivering solid high perfor-
mance. Its greatly reduced power demand significantly extends
battery lifetime, especially on coin-cell–powered devices.
Usually, accelerometers have to choose between low power
and high performance. The ultra-low-current step counter, which
draws only 4 μA in combination with intelligent power man-
agement features like built-in activity recognition, helps extend
battery life. Further extending battery life, the BMA400 wakes
up automatically only when it detects motion and goes back into
sleep mode when the motion stops.43 RD ANNUAL
