The latest models of the thermoelectric assembly product line
Laird has expanded its thermoelectric assembly (TEA) product offering to include a higher capacity range for critical medical equipment. Previously, the Tunnel Series TEAs offered cooling for capacities up to 39 W. The boosted Tunnel Series now offers cooling capacities exceeding 100 W to support a wider range of cooling applications.
DCM DC/DC converters in ChiP package with ±1% regulation
Vicor have extended its family of isolated, regulated DC/DC converter modules (DCMs) in ChiP packages, with a range of components that offer ±1% voltage regulation. The new series of DCMs are initially offered with 28, 270, and 275V nominal input voltages. These products are aimed at a variety of applications that require tighter output voltage regulation, including UAV, ground vehicle, radar, transportation and industrial controls.&n...
Learning more about bidirectional power conversion
Join Vicor at the IEEE Power Electronics Symposium on Long Island in New York on the 9th November, to learn more about bidirection power conversion, and where Vicor's own David Bourner will present, 'Bidirectional DC/DC Converter SystemsSustained with Power Component Methodology.'
How Vicor meets the demands of modern LED applications
Vicor's new PI3523 is a 48VIN, 3.3VOUT nominal Buck Regulator capable of supplying up to 22A. One of the key applications is for LED lighting, so Vicor asked Travis Williams, the product manager for this new regulator, to explain how Vicor meets the needs of modern LED applications.
700V bus converter module comes with K of 1/16
Vicor has announced a Ultra-High Voltage (UHV) Bus Converter Module (BCM) designed for applications including Remote Unmanned Vehicles used in air, sea, or underground exploration as well as 3-phase AC/DC power systems. The components accept rectified 3-phase voltages and enable UAVs to use higher voltages for transmission of power. Like all Vicor BCMs, the new converter can operate in either direction, enabling systems to easily step up and...
Using design methodology to adapt to changing specifications
Late changes in requirements are not unusual: Vicor's recent research found it was the biggest challenge facing today’s power system designers. In a recent project, a manufacturer of scientific instrumentation found that using the Power Component Design Methodology helped them develop an optimised power system, and quickly accommodate changing specifications.
Compact power for a low-profile antenna array
As the mobile phone market has matured and smartphones have become an indispensable part of daily life, people’s expectations for fast, reliable data access have escalated. Users now expect to be connected reliably wherever they are, whether inside buildings, in car parks, in underground tunnels and even in elevators. system diagram for antenna array.
Eliminating the Last Inch with Power on Package
Vicor has announced the Power on Package technology that enables manufacturers of CPUs, GPUs and ASICs (XPUs) to place power components either on the substrate of their device (on package) or extremely close to the XPU socket. Eliminating the “last inch” between the regulator and the XPU makes possible the level of higher performance required for today’s most demanding applications.
Buck switching regulators enable frequency synchronisation
Vicor has announced its PI33/PI34/PI35xx Cool-Power ZVS Buck Switching Regulators which offer board-level designers maximum power density and flexibility for high-efficiency point-of-load DC/DC regulation. The integration of a high performance Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) topology increases point-of-load performance, providing what the company claims to be best-in-class power efficiency up to 98%.
Compact chip varistors designed for automotive industry
The expansion of its lineup of chip varistors for automotive applications has been announced by TDK Corporation. The AVRH series offers a maximum operating voltage of 19-70V and a capacitance ranging from 4.7-50pF.
