Portable XRF Analyzer Determines RoHS Compliance
thermo.com/niton
The NITON XLt 797X portable analyzer achieves what is said to be a significantly smaller sample analysis capability than other portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. It employs proprietary miniature x-ray tube technology plus an internal color video camera. Via small-spot focus technology, it rapidly identifies and analyzes individual electronic components for RoHS compliance that normally require benchtop equipment. The company's small-sample measurement technology allows users to isolate and analyze solder joints and small components on populated printed circuit boards as well as other heterogeneous materials.

Processor Modules Deliver RoHS Compliance
imsystech.com
Groomed for embedded Java applications, the company's processor modules, based on its TINI compatible SNAP module, now come in RoHS-compliant versions. The products find employment in medical devices, industrial terminals, security systems, and other networked applications where connectivity, physical size, and Java performance is key. The modules combine hardware and software to create an efficient platform for program development and execution. With Ethernet, a TCP/IP stack, and a variety of other serial channels, the platform offers protocol conversion and compatibility with the TINI standard. A full and Sun Microsystems certified Java ME–CLDC implementation runs in the IM1000 processor on the module. Available with 2 to 8 MB of, price is $128 for the 4-MB version.

SPDT Handles High Frequencies Lead Free
macom.com/rohs
The MASW-007107 dc-to-8 GHz, SPDT RoHS-compliant switch targets spacerestricted applications requiring low insertion loss and fast settling times. The component, in a 2-mm, 8-lead PQFN package, achieves a completely settled state within 10 µs. Operating at 5V, it handles up to 27 dBm of output power with an EVM of less than 2% for OFDM, 64 QAM 54-Mb/s signals. The associated linear output power at 3.3V is 21 dBm. Price is $0.31 each/10,000.
