51V module boasts advanced vibration technology
The BMOD0189P051B2A 51V module is based on Maxwell Technology’s 48V module platform and includes the benefits of DuraBlue Advanced Shock and Vibration Technology. This combines Maxwell’s patented dry electrode formulation and manufacturing process with a robust proprietary cell structure, resulting in a cell that meets or exceeds some of the most demanding shock and vibration requirements of transportation markets.
P-Channel MOSFET has low RDS ON for USB Type-C interface products
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced the first in a family of P-Channel MOSFETs. The AONR21357 is designed for USB PD load switch applications.
DC transmission system connects remote communities to the grid
Serving as an efficient transmission route in medium-voltage AC grids from 30-50kV, Siemens has introduced a new direct-current transmission system to the market; the MVDC PLUS (Medium Voltage Direct Current Power Link Universal System). Siemens has developed the transmission system for grid operators who need to enlarge their infrastructure to handle the increasing volumes of power fed into the distribution system from distributed and renew...
Wideband RF power measurement system offers smaller form factor
Analog Devices has introduced a 9KHz-7GHz directional bridge and dual RMS RF power detector that can simultaneously measure forward and reverse RMS power levels in a signal path along with return loss.
15W and 20W DC/DC converters for cost sensitive applications
The JTD15 and JTD20 series of board-mounted DC/DC converters has just been introduced by XP Power, with target cost sensitive applications where a compact unit with a wide input range is required. The range is aimed at offering a power solution in multiple markets, such as instrumentation, broadcast, networking, telecommunications and datacommunications.
Higher processor performance with microchannel cooler
One of the limiting factors for the computing power of processors is the operating temperature. As part of the CarriCool project under the aegis of IBM, Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new, effective cooling method: By integrating microchannels into the silicon interposer it is for the first time possible to cool high-performance processors from the underside as well.
