Gate drivers provide switching for power MOSFETs or IGBTs
The DGD21xx series of six half-bridge and six high/low-side 600V gate drivers introduced by Diodes Incorporated provides a simple means of switching power MOSFETs and IGBTs in half- and full-bridge configurations. Target applications include driving motors in white goods, industrial automation systems and battery-operated vehicles such as eBikes and drones.
Isolated base rectifier modules rated up to 3.6kV
IXYS Corporation has announced that its wholly owned UK subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode, announces an extension to the voltage range of its pressure contact isolated base dual rectifier diode modules. The module is rated up to 3.6kV and available in three diode configurations.
Wall-mount UPS powers for longer
Powersolve's WM Series of uninterruptible power supplies are wall-mount units designed to provide back-up power for long periods. Rated from 800VA/600W to 4000VA/3000W, the WM Series accepts a wide AC input range while providing a pure sine wave output for up to several hours or more.
DC-DC step down converter meets noise sensitive situations
The Enprion EN362Q1 power system on a chip (PowerSoC) DC-DC step-down converter from Altera is now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. The converter is a high-efficiency, integrated synchronous DC-DC step-down buck converter with an integrated inductor, PWM controller, MOSFETs, and compensation.
Gate drivers offer industry's highest noise immunity
Designed for cutting-edge power supply designs and based on Silicon Labs' proven digital isolation technology, Silicon Labs has announced its Si827x ISOdriver family. The family is claimed to provide the highest Common Mode Transient Immunity (CMTI) of any gate driver on the market, making them suited for fast-switching and potentially noisy power supply systems.
CE+T Power launches enhanced conversion innovation technology
CE+T Power has announced the launch of its Enhanced Conversion Innovation (ECI) technology, the most efficient technology of its kind. ECI provides three high-efficiency energy converters and an energy buffer in a single module to provide polyvalent power conversion for critical systems at up to 96% for AC/AC and 94% for DC/AC and AC/DC efficiency. It also can be used for any power conversion scenario and will also allow for bi-directional use.
Compact SMT current sense transformers for power electronics
TDK Corporation presents two series of EPCOS SMT current sense transformers for power electronics. The various types in the B78417A series are based on EP7 ferrite cores, have compact dimensions of just 10.6x12.2x11.0mm and are designed to measure pulse currents of up to 20A.
50A or Dual 25A µModule regulator features onboard shielded inductors
Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM4650, a dual 25A or single 50A output step-down µModule regulator with onboard shielded inductors, MOSFETs and a dual DC/DC regulator IC housed in a small thermally enhanced plastic package. The device is offered in a 16x16x5.01mm BGA with a patented built-in heat sink.
Integrated boost controllers enable smaller designs
Intersil Corporation has announced two 55V two-phase synchronous boost controllers with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers. The ISL78227 and ISL78229 are the industry's most robust and highly integrated boost controllers available to simplify the design of high power automotive applications.
310W desktop power supply meets efficiency Level VI
Power Sources Unlimited announces the PEAD310 and PEAMD310 (medical) series of desktop AC/DC switching power supplies which provide 250-310W of continuous output power. All models meet CEC/DOE Level VI efficiency and Class I or Class II versions are available. Class II models are BF Rated.
