Utilising industrial grade components, the compact and robust design provides a highly efficient, space-saving solution for the most extreme environments in industries such as rail and transit for railway controls, communications equipment and beyond (onboard and wayside), military applications, transport...
1W DC/DC converters feature continuous short circuit protection
Aimtec announces the AM1PS-NZ series of 1W isolated power converters with continuous short circuit protection, 1500VDC input-output isolation, UL 60950-1 recognition and compact DIP8 packaging. Its continuous short circuit protection saves the converter, the load and the converter’s input circuit from extremely high currents that could arise in a fault condition.
Integration enables highly efficient voltage conversion
STMicroelectronics has announced that its 32-bit automotive MCUs and Power MOSFETs have been selected by Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) for the DC-DC converter in Toyota's new, fourth-generation Prius hybrid-vehicle platform.
Single-chip protection IC suitable for 1-cell Li+ battery packs
Offering a substantial set of protection features, the AP9234L IC introduced by Diodes Incorporated is specifically designed to provide a high-accuracy, single-chip solution for 1-cell Li-ion or lithium-polymer rechargeable battery packs. Key markets for this device are manufacturers of battery protection circuit modules for smart phones, cameras and similar consumer electronics equipment.
Switching regulators make batteries last longer
The extended 9V-48V input range of the latest RECOM R-78HB switching regulators, now available from Dengrove Electronic Components, allow appliances to run for longer from a standard 12V, 24V or 36V battery by utilising all of the battery’s stored energy. As well as their super-wide input range, the R-78HB regulators also maintain high efficiency of up to 93%, with quiescent current of only 5mA maximum they can run heatsink-free to save cos...
P-channel MOSFETs reduce load switching losses
Specifically designed for load switching in high-efficiency battery management of portable consumer electronics and IoT applications, two P-channel MOSFETs have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The 2x2mm, DFN2020 packaged DMP1022UFDF and DMP2021UFDF are rated at 12V and 20V, respectively.
PFC module draws maximum power from the grid
Vincotech has announced the release of flowPFC 0 CD modules. Engineered to optimise energy quality and consumption for welding, SMPS and embedded drive applications rated from 1 to 6 kW, these power factor correction modules draw maximum power from the grid.
Open frame AC/DC power supply offers 400W at 92% efficiency
Astrodyne TDI has introduced a high density open frame AC/DC power supply that provides 400W of regulated power in a 3x5" form factor. The power density of the ASM400 series results in a small footprint, making it extremely flexible for use in powering portable medical equipment and numerous industrial applications.
50W DC/DC converters operate with 90-92% efficiency
MINMAX has claimed that its MKWI50 series of 50W ultra-wide 4:1 input ranges DC/DC converters achieve the highest power density available in the industry. Supplied in an encapsulated, shielded metal package with dimensions of just 50.8x25.4x10.16mm (2.0x1.0x0.4”), the series consists of 12 models offering 9-36 or 18-75VDC input ranges and single regulated outputs of 3.3-24VDC.
A solution when cost and space are critical
The MJW10 Series is a new range of cost optimised 10W isolated DC/DC converters from Minmax Power that are encapsulated in a 1” x 1” industry standard package and feature fully regulated output voltage.
