NORTHVALE, New Jersey, USA – New Yorker Electronics has released the new Automotive Grade ACAS AT Precision Thin Film Chip Resistor Arrays from Vishay Beyschlag. This new Vishay series has high resistance rations and operating voltages for increased design flexibility in voltage divider and signal amplification applications.

It delivers a five-fold amplification factor increase as compared to previous-generation devices. Offering two and four integrated resistors on one substrate respectively, the ACAS 0606 AT and ACAS 0612 AT is less costly than using multiple high-precision discrete resistors, while at the same time their stable divider ratio improves application stability.

The ACAS 0606 AT and ACAS 0612 AT precision automotive grade thin film chip resistor arrays with convex terminations combine the proven reliability of discrete chip resistors with the advantages of chip resistor arrays. Defined relative tolerance (matching) and relative TCR (tracking) make this product perfectly suited for applications with outstanding requirements towards stable fixed resistor ratios. The ACAS AT is available with equal or different resistor values.

The series has been designed for increased accuracy. Examples of this include its absolute tolerance of ±0.1% and relative tolerance of ±0.05%, its absolute TCR down to ±10 ppm/K and Relative TCR down to ± 5 ppm/K. With its sperior moisture resistivity of lR/Rl < 0.5 % at +85 °C and 85 % relative humidity for 1000 hours, its extremely robust against harsh environmental conditions. It is used for precision analog circuits, voltage dividers, signal conditioning, operational amplifier (opamp), and feedback circuit applications for automotive electronics, such as engine control units, gear box controls, safety, power supply electronics, body electronics, braking systems, climate control, steering technology and lighting. It’s also used in industrial electronics, including battery measurement systems, sensors, scales and precision amplifiers and audio equipment and instrumentation.

API stands for “Application Programming Interface.” It is a set of standards, instructions, and requirements that enables a computer program to import or access data, features, and services of another program. In layman terms, APIs are a gateway for apps or software applications that allow them to communicate with each other.

The most famous and common API used by mobile developers is Facebook’s API. It is primarily used at the time of user registration. Facebook’s API gives mobile developers limited access to the profile of Facebook members. This helps mobile developers to simplify the user registration process.

Another example is the Google Maps API. It is very popular for the apps that require mapping and location services. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn’s social APIs, Google charges for its map API if the requesting application is paid, or exceeds 100k API queries within a 24 hours period.

Integration of APIs is crucial for the mobile app development process, as it abolishes the need for creating every app program from scratch. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the development teams can utilise existing apps or platforms that allow API integration. It boosts their mobile app’s time to market and reduce the cost of development.

Terminology Used Frequently
API Key: The API key is an authentic code passed by the mobile app owner to the API requester. It is to recognize the receiver of the API.

Endpoint: The API communication happens between two software systems. One end of the channel is coined as Endpoint.

POST: It is an HTTP method to build resources using the REST ful API.

JSON: JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a data format used for request parameters and response body.

GET: GET is the HTTP method of obtaining resources from RESTful API.

OAuth: It is an open standard authorisation framework to access from the user’s side without sharing the credentials.

Latency: Latency is the time taken by an API from request to response.

Rate-limiting: It is the process of limiting the number of requests a user can make on the API.

API Throttling: The process of regulating API usages by the users is termed API throttling. So, when the user crosses its daily or weekly API request limit, the server alerts the user.

REST: Representational State Transfer or REST is a type of programming architectural implementation that enhances the communication efficiency between both the endpoints. As the name itself elaborates, the REST programming shares only references of the data instead of sharing the data itself. Systems built on this architecture are denoted with ‘RESTful’ systems. The most successful example of a RESTful system is the World Wide Web.

SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol or SOAP is a protocol to share structured information on computer networks SOAP is a messaging protocol and works and XML information set for message format and application layer protocols for message negotiation and transmission.

How API Development Works?
Suppose that you are on a website to book a flight. The site asks you to fill up a form with details such as departure date, preferred time, domestic or international flight preferences etc. Right after you fill-up the form, you get the list of several flight options with details like pricing, seat availability, timings etc.. Ever wondered how it happens?

Most borrowers, when looking to get their dream home, aim to get the lowest home loan interest rates. This is an obvious thing to do, given that a low interest rate means that the amount payable over the principal loan amount decreases. While it is difficult to pinpoint any one option in the market, there are steps to ensure that you are in a position to find the best loan for yourself. Other than interest rates though, there are a few other factors that you can consider before making a decision. These include details like the tenure, the type of interest rate as well as the terms and conditions. All these factors need to come together when you are selecting your home loan.

1. Work on your credit score: Having a strong credit rating will go a long way in helping you to get a loan with the best home loan interest rates . Potential lenders, while reviewing your financial background, will look at a number of factors. The lender profile will typically be a cumulative perspective on your source of income, credit score, repayment track record, assets and so on. It is advisable to make any and all payments on time in order to get a good score. It is also advisable to find out what your current credit rating is, and whether it is good enough to avail a home loan. You can apply to the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) to get a detailed credit history. A high credit score will allow you to negotiate the best home loan interest rate.

2. Interest rates: While looking for the ideal home loan rates in India , it is important to get as much information possible about the existing interest rates in the market. It is wise to contact a number of financial partners and banks in order to get their individual rates. Alternatively, you can also approach a financial expert who can give you an approximate understanding of what banks are offering today. This is important in order to get the best possible interest rates.

3. Profile of the property: Many lenders will check the value of the property that you wish to buy and compare it with your ability to repay the loaned amount. They will also look at the property in terms of price, neighbourhood as well as the quality of construction. In order to be eligible for a good home loan interest rate, it is important to look at properties that fit in well with your repayment ability.

4. Decide the price: It is always a good idea to have a fixed budget in mind when you wish to buy a new house. Plan out exactly how much you are willing to pay before getting a home loan. While loans are a great way to buy a home that you can’t afford right now, it is important to keep an upper limit in mind while deciding the amount that you are willing to pay. Any kind of loan is a long term commitment; hence, it is essential for you to be certain of the decision as well as its financial repercussions before signing on the dotted line. This clarity will also help you to negotiate the repayment scheme and help identify the right home loan interest rate for the time line you have in mind.

While a good interest rate is definitely an important factor to look at, it is important to understand what your current financial position is. It is also important to understand the repercussions that this kind of financial exposure can have on you. While looking for the best housing loan interest rates, it is essential to make sure that the same suits your needs.
