Holiday Fun Fact
An average size Christmas stocking could hold more than one million of NVE's unique 1.1 millimeter square ULLGA magnetic sensors (a great gift for the engineer who has everything).

NVE Expanding
 
NVE recently broke ground on a major production expansion at its Eden Prairie, Minn. headquarters. The expansion will add another cleanroom bay and more test capacity to significantly increase the company’s production capacity.

Portions of the new bay will be in production by early 2012.

The expansion will allow NVE to meet increasing demand for its award-winning products.

Improved Isolators
 
NVE has released even better versions of its award-winning IsoLoop® Isolators.
IsoLoop: The Opto Alternative

The parts have an improved manufacturing process and are tested to more stringent specifications. IsoLoop isolators continue their industry leading performance for key parameters including channel density, pulse-width distortion, and indefinite barrier life.

Datasheets are unchanged, but the new parts are much more robust at extremes of high temperature, low power supplies, and speed.

The improved parts have been phased in over the past months.

Holiday Videos
 
Tired of It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street? Why not have an NVE video festival for this year’s holidays.

The two dozen acclaimed videos are funny, crisp, and informative.

Readers have even suggested drinking games.

Drink every time*:
  • The Geek uses “air quotes.”
  • Someone says they hate optos.
  • Someone mispronounces a technical term.
  • There’s a really bad pun.

*Please drink responsibly.
 Don’t drink in excess when designing circuits. We see the results. Not pretty.
