Mouser Stocking Latest Motor Control Solutions from Texas Instruments
Mouser Electronics, Inc. today announced immediate availability of newest DC motor control solutions from Texas Instruments. The TI DRV8843 is a dual H-bridge driver capable of driving two DC motors or one stepper motor. The output block of each driver consists of n-channel power MOSFETs configured as H-bridges that are able to supply up to 2.5A peak or 1.75A RMS output current.
UNIPOWER modules at the heart of “silent” power shelf from Communications Audit
Designers and builders of rack-based systems are not generally space constrained when it comes to specifying the power source. Not for them the constant need to consider size, weight and heat dissipation and very few need to be concerned with other factors such as the electrical “noise” generated by the power supply itself. And, if noise is an issue, most designers will select a linear power supply to do the job.
Addressing Power Challenges in High-Altitude Applications
Not every thermal challenge involves hot or wet environments, as we recently found out when GlobTek provided a power supply solution to serve an RFID application. In this case the manufacturer was concerned with high-altitude issues related to the shipping industry and airfreight. Many do not realize that the interior of an airplane, while pressurized, actually has an equivalent effective cabin altitude of around 7,000 feet (~2100 meters).
