The 14.4V pack has a 3.1Ah capacity and includes a built-in protection circuit as well.

With embedded systems expanding into more and more spaces, we need a combined power & signal cable and connector standard (or series of standards) to allow developers to focus on the subsystem design with fewer concerns about integration. It would also be nice if we had an industry term for the concept of an integrated power and signal cable as well, since they've been around for a while now.

Not every thermal challenge involves hot or wet environments, as we recently found out when GlobTek provided a power supply solution to serve an RFID application. In this case the manufacturer was concerned with high-altitude issues related to the shipping industry and airfreight. Many do not realize that the interior of an airplane, while pressurized, actually has an equivalent effective cabin altitude of around 7,000 feet (~2100 meters).

It seems that thermal-management issues are constantly cropping up in consumer electronics, plaguing manufacturers of products from game consoles to tablets to phones. Some issues involve devices that are merely unpleasantly hot (which tells me that it won't be very happy in a hot ambient), but other cases involved catastrophic thermal runaway (a fancy way of saying that the device burst into flames). What is wrong with this picture? Doesn't anyo...

When you consider that a power supply is essential to electronics, it is amazing that so many designers wait until the end of the design process to design-in their power source. This is especially amazing today given that so much can be gained in system performance and efficiency, regardless the core technology or end product, by properly integrating the power supply into it.

Providing a solution for instrumentation and other sensitive applications, the GT-51084-12N12 linear power supply from GlobTek delivers an output of ±12Vdc at 0.25 A with very low noise.
