NXP Semiconductors company announces the release of a GPS signal amplifier BGU8006 destined primarily for the integration into mobile devices, tablets, navigators, photo- and video cameras. According to the words of the NXP representatives, their new model is the most bantam signal amplifier available in the market: BGU8006 dimensions equal to 0.65mm x 0.44mm x 0.2mm. Besides, this amplifier is characterized by the extremely low level of noise and the necessity to employ only a couple of external components to enable the device (decoupling capacitor and matching inductor).



The abundance of radio frequency signals serves the major impediment for the pure GPS signal reception. NXP BGU8006 has been developed with this thought in mind and is called to improve the reception of weak GPS signals by means of a dynamic rejection of strong signals released by the cellular and local wireless networks.


BGU8006 is based on QuBIC4Xi SiGe:C BiCMOS technology which is known to involve the …

Right after the recent release of laptop series, Dell announced the release of a new monitor, codenamed U2712HM. Moreover, this model can be already found in the Japanese market and costs approximately $635. The major peculiarity and attraction for the potential consumers is the implementation of AH-IPS array type in the development of the monitor. AH-IPS promotes for the overall improvement of color rendering and enlargement of viewing angles to 178 degrees (horizontal and vertical).



The newly arrived model has got 27-inch display and supports WQHD resolution of 2560x1440. The display is furnished with array LED lighting which is designated to provide for better contrast level. Each customer will have a wonderful opportunity to get evidences of the high-quality imaging, since the monitor offers the maximal static display contrast of 1000:1 and the maximal brightness that equals to 350 cd/m2.


At the same time, this monitor is considered to be power-saving, despite the …

The Xigmatek company introduces the Glare 7A PC case, intended for assembling gaming desktops, based on the ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards.



The specialty is performed in the Mid Tower form factor with such dimensions: 495 × 452 × 200 mm. One of its side panels is made of acrylic material, providing the full sight of inner system components. On the front one can see a tempered glass panel.


The Xigmatek framework allows mounting of seven expansion cards. The maximum length of discrete graphics accelerators equals 390 mm.


This chassis is equipped with four 120 mm fans (3 on the front and 1 at the rear) featuring red LED illumination. Besides, at the top it’s possible to locate three 120 mm or two 140 mm coolers. If using the liquid cooling system one may involve 120, 240, 280 or 360 mm heatsinks. The height of the CPU cooler is not to overcome 160 mm.


Glare 7A is ready to house two 2.5”/3.5” drives, as well as four 2.5” devices. Connectivity …
