GizWidgets Tech LTD: Widgets That Work!
Widget: A small mechanical device or control; a gadget.
Early on in working with our clients GizWidgets discovered that our clients have had the need of intelligent power control systems. We have been developing some new “Widgets”, soon to be commercialized, that can be incorporated into larger system designs that make this process more manageable from a system design perspective.
ECB – Electronic Circuit Breaker
Available Q3 2019
The ECB is designed to replace the use of fuses in DC power applications and provide intelligent power control. The ECB is capable of switching and controlling current loads from ~10mA to 4.5A. The ECB can switch voltage rails of up to 40V and can be customized for your application if one of our standard offerings does not fit your application. Control Features Include:
- On Off Switching control – Up to 4.5A
- Reset Control – Latching / Reset (Switch Only)
- Current Trip Point - Analog Voltage Input
- Current Measurement – Analog Voltage Output
- Power ON/OFF Indication – Logic Output & LED Indicator
- Alarm Indication – Logic Output & LED Indication
Our Work
GizWidgets was founded in 2018 with the purpose of providing custom electronics design and manufacturing services with focus in both the Aerospace and the Oil & Gas industries. Both the Aerospace and O&G industries provide challenging design environments that push not only electrical design, but packaging and manufacturing challenges that requires attention to every detail. GizWidgets has the knowledge and experience to design and manufacture High Reliability products that work in these challenging environments.
ECB
The ECB is a small programmable circuit breaker that has been designed for positive DC Voltage applications. The ECB is capable of switching and controlling current loads from ~10mA to 4.5A. The voltage rail capability is scalable and can be customized for your application if on of our standard offerings does not quite fit your application.
Pi FSC HAT
The Pi FSC HAT is part of the ArgUS Payload Development System. This product will be provided as part of a Raspberry Pi Kit with software tools to help with ArgUS payload integration. It will provide ArgUS customers with a simulated ArgUS interface with the platform control and safety features built in. This approach will allow ArgUS customers to focus on developing their science and provide more confidence when it comes time for payload integration with the ArgUS platform.
ECB-NET
The ECB-NET provides all of the features of the ECB device but it provides a digital communication interface for control of the device. The ECB-NET communicates through an I2C interface and can support up to 31 devices on the I2C bus. Currently two models of the ECN-NET are being commercialized, a nominal 28V (Blue) and 120V (Red) versions for International Space Station applications. These devices can be customized for your voltage application.
AMS-FSC
The AMS-FSC is a very small form factor board 1.5”(38.1mm) X 2.0” (50.8mm) that is required to be integrated into payloads that are flying on the Airbus DS ArgUS platform/payload which will be attached to the Airbus DS Bartolomeo platform on the ISS. For more information on ArgUS or the Bartolomeo platforms please visit the Airbus DS website.
