Innovating efficient delivery of electrical power to modern systems
The power supply used to be an afterthought in electronic systems design. No longer. Today’s systems are complex; they cram more functions into ever-smaller volumes, are increasingly portable and sometimes deployed remotely.
15W DC/DC converters have six-sided EMI shielding
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the CCG15 series of 15W DC/DC converters, packaged in a metal case providing six-sided shielding for reduced radiated EMI. The CCG15 has the industry standard 1x1" footprint, and can operate over a wide 4:1 input range. These converters are suitable for use in a large number of applications, including communications, industrial control, test and measurement, broadcast and portable battery powered equi...
35W triple output power supply simplifies system integration
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 35W rated CUT35 power supplies, requiring no minimum loading to maintain tight regulation specifications. In addition, output 1 is electrically isolated from outputs 2 and 3 through the use of a two independent converter topology, enabling the product to also be configured for dual output. This flexibility makes it suitable for use in a wide range of process control, broadcast, test & measurem...
Why are SiC and GaN so important?
The higher switching frequencies, operating temperatures, and voltage handling capabilities of Wide BandGap (WBG) materials such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) makes them of fundamental importance to any effort to reduce energy consumption.
Panel mount power supplies form security detail
A new family of AC/DC panel mount power supplies with integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) DC voltage from Delta Electronics is available at distributor Luso. They are particularly suitable for security applications such as CCTV, alarm systems, access control and automatic doors where operation is usually required at all times.
400VDC power plug suits data centre systems up to 2.6kW
Converting, transforming, converting, transforming – vast amounts of unused electricity simply disappear in data centres. The idea of switching the power supply to direct current and bypassing a large proportion of these losses results in a paradigm shift. According to an independent British report from 2016, data centres consume approximately 3% of the world's electricity and account for 2% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
New converter series sets performance benchmarks
A new series of high speed analogue-to-digital converters (A/D converters) have been introduced by Analog Devices, and as part of this series the company has released the AD9208, which has been engineered for gigahertz-bandwidth applications. This A/D converter meets the increased spectral efficiency demands of 4G/5G multi-band wireless communications base stations.It also meets the reduced run-time targets of multi-standard production instr...
Contactor switches up to 1000A/1000V in harsh environments
Now available in Europe through TTI, the KILOVAC K1K is a high-performance, high-voltage, hermetically sealed contactor from TE Connectivity. The KIK is compact and lightweight and designed to handle up to 1000A/1000V in harsh and explosive environments. It is ideal for applications such as energy and battery storage,power distribution, alternative energy systems, test equipment and both military and commercial electric vehicles.
Materials breakthrough will supercharge wide-bandgap semiconductors
In a significant breakthrough, materials scientists at Pennsylvania State University have synthesized two-dimensional gallium nitride for the first time ever using a graphene encapsulation said to give the structure 'superb electronic properties and strength to the resulting flat gallium nitride'.
Panel mount power supplies offer integrated UPS DC voltage
A range of AC/DC panel mount power supplies from Delta with integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) DC voltage are in stock at Luso Electronics. They are particularly suitable for security applications such as CCTV, alarm systems, access control and automatic doors where operation is usually required at all times. The Delta PMU-155W, part of the PMU series, is designed to operate with an external 12Vdc or 24Vdc SLA sealed lead acid battery....
