This February, Sheryl Miles at Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top 5 power products released in February 2026.
Phase-shift control ICs offer more efficiency
STMicroelectronics has introduced the STNRG599A and STNRG599B controllers for resonant-converter topologies with innovative phase-shift control (PSC) that boosts power-supply no-load efficiency and delivers flicker-free deep dimming in lighting applications.
Highly integrated GaN half-bridge solution for efficient and compact power designs
With the CoolGaN Drive HB 600 V G5, Infineon Technologies expands its GaN portfolio with a highly integrated half-bridge solution that combines power transistors and gate driver in a compact package. Rutronik has added the new family to its portfolio, addressing designers of high-power density and energy-efficient systems in consumer, industrial, and light electric vehicles applications.
Toshiba introduces 40V eFuse ICs in small TSOP6F packages
Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH expands its electronic fuse (eFuse) lineup with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series. The five new products are the TCKE601RA, TCKE601RL, TCKE602RM, TCKE603RA, and TCKE603RL. The eFuse ICs are suitable for use in industrial equipment, such as robots and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), as well as consumer equipment, including robotic vacuum cleaners and copy machines.
STMicroelectronics’ fast-acting isolated gate drivers for smaller, safer automotive modules
STMicroelectronics’ STGAP2SA and STGAP2HSA automotive-grade, galvanically isolated 4A gate drivers with 60ns response time and close part-to-part matching allow high switching frequencies for increased power density and efficiency.
Industrial power supplies operate in series or parallel
In stock at authorised distributor DigiKey are the TDK-Lambda TPS4500-92/184 single or dual-output industrial power supplies. They have a 4500W rating.
The outputs can be configured to share loads in any proportion, up to the rated output specifications, and are designed to operate in series or parallel to increase the output voltage or power.
