DIN rail power supplies come with enhanced reliability
DIN rail power supplies from PULS are now available with conformal-coated PCBs to provide increased reliability in difficult environmental condition. This mitigates against high air humidity which can create condensation and a concentration of conductive particles in the environment, where the attraction of dust particles may be due to electrostatic charge.
LCON rail switches provide large range of functions
LCON RAIL INFINITY threshold switches follow the 'all-in-one' principle of equipment in the rail sector: According to the company, LÜTZE TRANSPORTATION is the first company ever to supply combination units that integrate two potential-free threshold switches DC 110V / 1.5A as well as a very precise analogue output in one casing.
Small outline synchronous rectification MOSFET driver
It has been announced by Diodes Incorporated, that they are launching the APR346 Secondary Side Synchronous Rectification MOSFET Driver, providing increased efficiency for off line power adapters delivering five to 20VDC from an AC supply.
Five Watt AC/DC modules for wide mains voltages
It has been announced by RECOM that it has released its exclusive 5W AC/DC converter, the RAC05-K/480 series, which accepts input voltages of up to 480VAC. They are also OVCIII rated with a 6kV surge protection, and operate reliably at industrial temperature ranges.
Input protection switch has true reverse blocking to protect internal circuitry
Providing over-voltage protection for Type-C Power Delivery applications, the AOZ1376 is a smart protection switch from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS).
Cascode Basics
A ‘cascode’ sounds like an archaic term from the era of vacuum tubes and that’s where it comes from. Cascodes today, though, are very relevant in their latest incarnation as combinations of SiC JFETs and Si MOSFETs, giving performance that’s getting very close to the suitable switch.

Step-down DC/DC power modules cut board space by 58%
The LMZM23600 and LMZM23601 step-down DC-DC power modules from Texas Instruments (TI) are now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. Housed in a compact, 3.8mm × 3mm × 1.6mm MicroSiP package, the modules can reduce board space by up to 58%, making the 1A DC/DC power module suitable for industrial applications.
Power module speeds time to market
The MAXM17574 DC-DC step-down power module from Maxim Integrated is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The flexible, space-saving device allows developers to reduce design complexity and time-to-market in applications ranging from industrial power supplies to HVAC and building control.
Single power monitoring ICs measure power from 0V to 32V
Microchip Technology has announced two- and three-channel power monitoring devices that measure from 0V to 32V on a single chip, offering designers solutions that are easy to adopt and improve power measurement accuracy. The two-channel device is also the industry’s first with native 16-bit resolution, providing flexibility across a wide measurement range.
