DC/DC converters receive medical safety approvals
Artesyn Embedded Technologies has announced the AEE15W-M and AEE20W-M series, the new 15 and 20W DC/DC converters that provide OEMs with an economical solution for demanding applications in industrial and medical instrumentation requiring a certified supplementary or reinforced insulation system to comply with industrial or medical safety standards.
Three-phase brushless motor drivers function in confined spaces
Two new three-phase brushless motor drivers have been launched by Toshiba Electronics Europe. TC78B015FTG is for 12V power supply applications and TC78B015AFTG supports applications using 24V. The new ICs support high-speed rotation of small fan motors and are suited to home appliance and industrial equipment applications. Cooling fans, such as those found in servers, combine minimum size with a high rotation speed thereby ensuring maxi...

Professional quality li-on charger maximises battery performance
Mascot AS, a Norwegian power design company has introduced its next-generation high-quality, high-performance lithium-ion battery charger, the new model 3546LI. The 3546LI uses a 3-stage charging profile with a microprocessor to maximise battery performance. The new charger is also capable of waking up deeply discharged batteries and soft-start charging with low current until voltage is normalised.
Hybrid supercapacitors encourage 'energy snacking'
Hybrid supercapacitors from PBC Tech are thin, lightweight and have a fast recharge capability to charge devices in minutes rather than hours. The company (formerly called the Paper Battery Company) calls this rapid recharging energy snacking.
Wall plug adapters offer 5VDC single regulated outputs
CUI has introduced four new series of 3W wall plug power adapters to its portfolio of DoE Level VI and CoC Tier 2 compliant external power supplies. The SWI3‑N and SWI3‑N‑USB series, available with North American input blades, and the SWI3‑E and SWI3‑E‑USB series, featuring European input blades, are all certified to meet the current average efficiency and no-load power requirements enforced by the US Department of Energy’s (DoE...

Railway DC/DC converters feature ultra wide input range
When planning a universally applicable railway device typically at least three versions of the same design are necessary to cover all standard supply voltages in railway vehicles ranging from a nominal 24-110VDC. This causes additional complications, which can be avoided by using RECOM’s newly developed DC/DC railway converters with ultra-wide input voltage, which allow for all-in-one solutions.
