The first fully functioning battery recycling plant in Scotland which can handle up to 12000 tonnes of battery waste every year, is extending its dismantling lines to prepare for the disassembly of an increasing number of electric vehicle (EV) batteries (Li-Ion), as the uptake of electric vehicles increases across the UK.

Renesas Electronics has announced three programmable power management ICs (PMICs) that offer the highest power efficiency and smallest footprint for application processors in smartphones and tablets: the ISL91302B, ISL91301A, and ISL91301B PMICs. The PMICs also deliver power to artificial intelligence (AI) processors, FPGAs, and industrial microprocessors (MPUs), and they are suitable for powering the supply rails in solid-state drives (SSDs), optical transceivers, and a wide range of consumer, industrial and networking devices.

  A number of new models have been added to HARTING’s industrial computer product to further its development into a universal modular platform to capture data, process it at the machine level, and exchange it in wireless and wired fashion.

In this video, ON Semiconductor will introduce new power modules - Q0 and Q2 series for solar inverters rated up to over 100kVA.

The low noise LD15CHA, the newest addition to the Wavelength laser diode driver line, offers modulation bandwidth, and power for materials processing, industrial laser cutting, and laser diode bars / stacks. The small laser diode driver delivers 15A output current up to 28V. It meets laser compliance requirements from 3V with a single 5V supply, and up to 28V with an additional 30V power supply.

  Battery packs have become an integral part of everyday life, powering a growing range of portable electronic devices, cordless power tools, energy storage, and hybrid and electric vehicles. By Geoff Shannon, Amada Miyachi America.

  As transducer technology evolves, new speakers are capable of increasingly higher power handling. Increasing the power to the speaker enables higher SPL output and extended low frequency bass output in cabinets that are lighter and more compact than ever before.

Littelfuse has introduced two series of AEC-Q101-qualified TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes) designed to provide options for very fast acting, high performance over-voltage protection devices. The AQHV and AQHV-C series are designed to provide very fast acting, high performance over-voltage protection devices ideally suited for power interfaces, passenger charging interfaces, and well as LED lighting modules, and low speed I/Os.

  SCHURTER accessorises its illuminated Metal Line switches with the PSUP 24VDC universal switching power supply. The Class II power supply supports SCHURTER’s full range of point and ring illuminated Metal Line switches rated for 24VDC supply voltage. The PSUP is also suited for a wide variety of indoor lighting applications such as LED.

  BLOCK has announced the introduction of two new 24V/40A uninterruptible power supplies. These DC input UPS ensure reliable availability of safety-critical systems in the case of power failure. BLOCK UPS supports 12, 24 and 48V systems and can be either battery-powered or use capacitive energy storage.
