Thermal jumper chips that enable circuit designers to manage temperature rise in compact power electronic assemblies have been released by TT Electronics. The TJC series provide a thermally conductive pathway with electrical isolation for management of PCB hotspot areas.

Said to reduce assembly time by 60%, a series of LVAC power capacitors featuring ESTAspring, a lever-operated spring terminal connection, has been introduced by Vishay. The ESTA PhMKP series increases connection reliability in high vibration applications.

GaN Systems has announced that its CEO Jim Witham will deliver a keynote at PCIM Europe, the leading international exhibition and conference for power electronics and its applications, in Nuremberg, Germany fromm 7-9th May 2019. Witham’s presentation, 'GaN and Industry 4.0 – A Small Change that is Revolutionising the Industry,' will be taking place Thursday 9th May 9 at 8:45am.

The technical power supply distributor specialising in innovative solutions and new products that benefit system designers as they seek to differentiate their end products, FiDUS Power, has announced the lowest profile 180W power supply of its class, measuring just 0.75in high, 25% lower than its nearest rival.

Two new products have been announced by Dialog Semiconductor, with the DA9232 and the DA9233 Nanopower PMICs. The new additions improve the performance of the DC/DC buck converter from the original DA9230 and DA9231 by producing an even lower ripple, perfect for use with sensitive analog circuitry, such as GPS receivers used in wearables. 

Newly introduced from Dialog Semiconductor, the iW1608 is an AC/DC controller optimised for universal input voltage applications. The device offers a unique output current limit configuration that monitors the input voltage via the resistor divider (CFG pin voltage VCFG) in real time and adjusts the output current limit accordingly.

It has been announced that Skyworks has introduced the SKY85726-11, a 3.3V five gigahertz front-end solution for enterprise 802.11ax applications including access points, routers and gateways. This fully-integrated module features a logarithmic power detector supporting wide dynamic ranges and low power consumption, enabling improved thermal management.

Manufacturer of automatic transfer switches and power control systems, Russelectric, has announced that it now offers its Prime Power Systems, which are used for automatic operation of on-site power generators to serve a facility’s entire load. The Prime Power Systems are used as the primary source of power to a facility. 

It has been announced that Hitachi has received an order from Chubu Electric Power for the delivery of two Voltage-Sourced Frequency Converters (300,000 kW each; 1FC and 3FC) for Higashi Shimizu Substation, equipment installation construction work and tests.

Murata has been developing and manufacturing a range of power products including AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC converters for various applications for more than 35 years.
