High voltage models added to programmable DC power supply series
TDK announces the introduction of eight models to TDK-Lambda’s Genesys series of programmable DC power supplies. The series is now available with output voltages of 800, 1000, 1250 and 1500V and with output powers of 10 or 15kW. These high voltage units address the requirements for applications in the OEM, industrial, defence & aerospace, alternative energy and ATE markets including: semiconductor and automotive test, and component test...
Trust in measurement results
Omicron Lab’s vector network analyser, Bode 100, offers precision and reliability, claims the company. The analyser can be seen at PCIM Europe 2016, in Nuremberg, Germany (9 to 12 May).
Rechargeable battery has higher energy density
A discovery has led to a rechargeable battery that's as inexpensive as conventional car batteries, but has a much higher energy density. The new battery could become a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative for storing renewable energy and supporting the power grid. A team based at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory identified this energy storage gem after realising the new battery works in a different ...
Magnetic components make up custom range
Acal offers a wide range of custom magnetics for general industrial and harsh environments, such as railway, deep drilling, aircraft and space.
Double your charging speed using your own cables
An IndieGoGo campaign has been launched by startup Pompa Adapter to raise funds for a charging adapter which can double charging speeds for Android and iOS devices. A smart IC inside the PompAdapter allows you to change the charging mode of your device, regardless of cable used, in order to provide the maximum current and, therefore, the shortest charging time.
AC/DC desktop power supplies offer 96-135W
Protek Power North America is pleased to announce the PUP121/PUP136 Series of 96-135W ITE AC/DC desktop power supplies. The PUP121/PUP136 series are enclosed in a super slim 1” 94V-0 plastic case, with either a IEC320/C14 orIEC310/C6 AC inlet. Both inlets effortlessly mate with inter changeable cords for worldwide operation.
CISSOID delivers SiC intelligent power modules to Thales
CISSOID announces the delivery of the first prototypes of a 3-phase 1200V/100A SiC MOSFET Intelligent Power Modules (IPM) to Thales Avionics Electrical Systems. This module, developed with the support of Clean Sky Joint Undertaking, will help increasing power converters density, by decreasing weight and size, for power generation and electromechanical actuators in More-Electrical Aircrafts.
µModule regulator operates from 3.3VIN to 15VIN
Linear introduces the LTM4632, a triple output µModule regulator for powering all three voltage rails of the new QDR4 and older DDR SRAM: VDDQ, VTT and VTTR (or VREF). Housed in a miniature, lightweight, ultrathin LGA package (6.25x6.25x1.82mm), the LTM4632 can be soldered on the backside of the PCB, and with one resistor and three capacitors it occupies only 0.5cm² (dual-) or 1cm² (single-sided).
Medium-power planar transformer provides high efficiency
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a planar transformer offering power from 1 to 3kW in a compact 70x53x22mm size. Compared to devices built on traditional winding technology, the Vishay Sfernice PLA51 delivers the same power transfer / conversion while offering higher efficiency and a lower weight and profile.
DC/DC converters offer wide 2:1 or ultra-wide 4:1 input ranges
MINMAX is proud to announce the MJW15 and MJWI15 series of 15W isolated / regulated DC/DC converters with wide 2:1 or ultra-wide 4:1 input ranges for OEM / ODM / industrial applications where space is critical. These two families of high-density (small size) / high performance DC/DC converters are identical except for their input range.
