Mouser Marquee Sponsor of Smart Grid Electronics Forum to Advance New Design
Mouser Electronics, Inc., a top design-fulfillment authorized distributor for semiconductors and electronic components, today announced its Marquee Sponsorship of the Darnell Group's third-annual Smart Grid Electronics Forum (SGEF '12), held in Detroit, MI, October 16-17. This is the second consecutive year Mouser has been named the exclusive marquee sponsor for the international event covering smart grid technology. A key question at this year's SGEF is: Are microgrids the key to the successful development of the smart grid?
The two-day forum attracts a worldwide audience -- system designers, utility engineers and executives, embedded processing engineers, to name a few -- spanning all major segments of the electronics industry. These industry segments include communications, computing/storage, power conversion, automotive, alternative energy, industrial, medical, and others. This year's forum will cover the Smart Meter through the building and related microgrids to the end-use equipment. Design engineers will discover the latest component developments, design techniques, communication protocols, architectures, smart-grid standards, and more.
Mouser's Marquee Sponsorship is defined by the company's unyielding commitment of supporting new design with the world's widest selection of the newest semiconductors and electronic components that deliver a speed-to-market advantage, and edge in product lifecycles and features. Likewise, Darnell's Smart Grid Forum is focused on the leading edge of new technologies that further advance smart grid design and development. Strategically, this aligns with Mouser's long-standing mission of delivering "What's Next" to a global community of electronic design engineers and buyers tasked with creating a new generation of solutions that deliver more with less.

"We're pleased to be partnered with a world-class organization such as the Darnell Group. It's a tremendous honor to be named the marquee sponsor of the Smart Grid Electronics Forum for a second year," shared Larry Johannes, Mouser Vice President of Strategic Marketing. "This year's forum is sure to spark the development of new ideas that will help advance technology in these important fields. Areas like the electric vehicle integration and smart grid technologies or harnessing the power of the wind, precisely managing energy consumption or incorporating smart metering solutions that offer real advantages today, as well as the future."
"As we face more pressure to implement energy management solutions, integrate renewables and supply enough power to meet the world's growing demand, smart grid technology and microgrid advancements are areas at the forefront of engineers' minds," explained Jeff Shepard, President of Darnell Group. "As a trusted source for authorized components from the industry's leading innovators, Mouser shares our vision of helping supply design engineers with tangible answers as they explore the realm of new possibility and practicality. We appreciate their generous support in helping bring this forum to the engineering community."

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
