Rectifier diodes feature low forward voltage drop
The HY Electronic SMA 1A series of rectifier diodes are in stock at JPR Electronics. Seven devices are available with reverse voltages of 50V, 100V, 200V, 400V, 600V, 800V and 1000V, all rated at 1A forward current. The SMA 1 series is based on a glass passivated chip featuring low reverse leakage current and low forward voltage drop.
Combining wireless power and data transmission together
Under the name 760308EMP-WPT-200W, Würth Elektronik and Infineon Technologies are offering a 200W development system for wireless power transfer. According to the company, what makes the development kit different is that the link between the transmitter and receiver coils can be used to transfer not only power but also data.
Photocoupler features UVLO function for switching power supplies
Toshiba Electronics has announced the launch of a new high speed IC-Photocoupler for MOSFET gate signal insulation. The TLP2735 is Toshiba's first photocoupler to incorporate an Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) function with hysteresis.
Programmable power supply has a constant power bi-directional output
A power supply that provides up to 15kW from a compact 3U high unit has just been announced by Powersolve. The SM500-CP-50 features a constant power, bi-directional output and a number of features designed to provide users with an easy to use, flexible power source. According to Powersolve, a bi-directional output provides the same power characteristic in the second quadrant for the full 15kW while the flexible constant power output characte...

Rugged compact PC expands data protection features
Aitech Defense Systems is now offering its A172, a low power, high performance Rugged Compact PC (RCP) with a removable storage module that meets DoD 5220.22-M for quick/secure erase. The 1TB, secure SSD offers MLC and SLC NAND Flash as well as a sustainable read/write speed of up to 400MB/sec.
Turbocharging fuel cells with a multifunctional catalyst
Powering clean, efficient cars is just one way fuel cell technology could accelerate humanity into a sustainable energy future, but unfortunately, the technology has been a bit sluggish. Now, engineers may be able to essentially turbocharge fuel cells with a new catalyst. The sluggishness comes from a chemical bottleneck, the rate of processing oxygen, a key ingredient that helps fuel cells, which are related to batteries, produce electricit...
