Medical power supplies deliver 75W in an 85°C ambient
TDK has announced the introduction of the 100W rated TDK-Lambda brand CUS100ME series of medical and industrial AC/DC power supplies. The series delivers 75W in ambient temperatures of up to 85°C with just 1m/s airflow, however, with conduction cooling, it can provide full power at up to 70°C. Target markets include home healthcare, medical, dental, test and measurement, broadcast and industrial equipment.
AC/DC converters consume minimal power in standby mode
The 15W and 20W AC/DC power supplies from RECOM are designed for low power IoT and household applications. They are available at rutronik24.com. Based on the footprint of the compact RAC10-K modules, these new modules feature high-efficiency over a wide load range and minimal standby power consumption.
Smart meter requirements for business energy savings
UK industrial electricity prices are among the highest in Europe and, in light of this, a number of businesses are taking direct action to reduce their energy consumption. Power quality specialist, REO UK, has published a SlideShare on LinkedIn, which outlines three tips for businesses looking to reduce their energy costs.
Powering next-gen consumer applications
With a pair of feature rich, high performance and scalable power-management ICs (PMICs) from Maxim Integrated Products, designers of mobile systems can now maximise performance per watt while increasing system efficiency for computationally intensive deep learning systems on chip (SoCs), FPGAs and application processors.
Three-channel power supplies deliver up to 375W
Programmable, low-noise, three-channel power supplies that deliver up to 375W in a compact 2U high, half-rack-wide enclosure have been introduced by Tektronix. The Keithley Series 2230G is designed for maximum flexibility, accuracy, and low noise when testing high power, multi-voltage circuits such as LED drivers, automotive, and power-IC circuits.

Compact power MOSFET gate driver intelligent power device
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the availability of a compact power MOSFET gate driver intelligent power device (IPD) for automotive 3-phase brushless motors. The device is intended for use in automotive motor drive applications such as 12V electronic power steering (EPS), oil/water pumps, fan motors and electric turbochargers. Toshiba’s IPD products provide protection for high-side and low-side power switches – especial...
Low EMI DC/DC buck regulators portfolio expanded
Allegro MicroSystems has announced the A8660, ARG81880, and ARG81801, the latest additions to their Regulators Portfolio. These devices reduce EMI through switching frequency dithering and allow system noise management though external clock synchronisation.
150V step down DC/DC controller draws only 9µA
The recently introduced Power by Linear LTC3894, from Analog Devices is a high voltage step down DC/DC controller that draws only 9µA quiescent current with the output enabled in Burst Mode operation. Its wide 4.5 to 150V input voltage range can effectively eliminate the need for external surge suppression devices.
450W 3x5” power supply for medical applications
