Power 16th July 2021 Tutorial series – How to design modular DC-DC systems – Part 2 Read more While powerful, a modular design strategy requires support circuitry in the power delivery network (PDN) to form a complete power system. Accordingly, this second part of the tutorial series shows how to filter electrical noise on the input and output sides of a switching DC-DC module.

Sponsored 16th July 2021 4.5-V to 15-V input, dual 6-A, single 12-A, output power module Read more The TPSM5D1806 dual 6-A output power module is a highly integrated and flexible DC-DC power supply packaged in a compact 8-mm × 5.5-mm × 1.8-mm, QFN package. The input voltage range of 4.5 V to 15 V allows conversion from a wide intermediate bus as well as standard 5-V and 12-V rails. The two 6-A outputs can be configured independently for two separate power rails or combined for a single 2-phase, 12-A output.

Power 16th July 2021 Isolated buck converters reduce bill-of-materials costs Read more Optimised for isolated buck regulator designs, the STMicroelectronics A6986I and L6986I DC/DC converter ICs have a wide input-voltage range and low quiescent current to ensure robust and energy-efficient operation in automotive and industrial applications up to five watts.

Power 16th July 2021 Backlight driver supports larger screen sizes Read more The MAX25530 four-channel automotive backlight driver from Maxim Integrated Products is now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics.

Power 16th July 2021 Modular 24V emergency power supply for fail-safe systems Read more The intelligent DC emergency power supply UPSI-2412 from Bicker Elektronik in combination with suitable LiFePO4 or Supercap energy storage devices, reliably bridges power failures and brownouts, so that the uninterruptible 24VDC power supply of process-relevant systems is guaranteed at all times.

Power 16th July 2021 New 10Gbps iCoupler digital isolator launched Read more Analog Devices has introduced the first in a new series of iCoupler digital isolators that offers a total bandwidth of ten Gigabits per second. The ADN4624 digital isolator provides four channels at 2.5Gbps, allowing data to transfer seamlessly in the electrical domain and enabling new system architectures in digital health, instrumentation and smart industry.

Power 16th July 2021 Power-only USB Type C receptacle goes vertical Read more CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group has announced the continued expansion of their power-only USB Type C receptacle line with the introduction of a vertically-oriented model. The UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR joins the existing 60W UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR and 100W UJC-HP-G-SMT-TR , which both feature horizontal, surface mount packages.

Power 16th July 2021 Power disconnect solution enables safer DC fast charging Read more Sensata Technologies has announced its new power disconnect solution has been chosen by several leading charging infrastructure OEMs to enable faster and safer DC fast charging. Sensata’s solution combines contactors and GigaFuses from its Gigavac product brand to provide customers with a value-added contactor module, simplifying their installations while delivering safer and more effective system protection compared to traditional contactor and thermal fuse pairings.

Sponsored 16th July 2021 5.5-V input, 1-A step-down module with integrated inductor in 2 x 2.5 x 1.1-mm μSIP package Read more The TPSM8282x device family consists of a 1-A, 2-A, and 3-A step-down converter MicroSiP™ power modules optimized for small solution size and high efficiency.

Power 16th July 2021 Combo arrays and diodes for circuit protection Read more ProTek Devices has introduced two new ultra-low capacitance (<3pF) low leakage current (<10nA) thyristor array and steering diode combination devices for circuit protection in consumer entertainment and networking devices like set top boxes and modems. They specifically provide surge protection in high-speed data interfaces.
