IGBT/MOSFET driver saves space in compact inverters
Expanding its optoelectronics portfolio, Vishay Intertechnology has announced a low-profile, SMD, 2.5A IGBT and MOSFET driver for motor drives, alternative energy, welding equipment and other high-working-voltage applications. The VOL3120 features a small footprint with a 2.5mm height and minimum 8mm clearance and external creepage distance.
Single-chip IC supports 4K media playback
A single-chip IC for 4K/p60, HEVC and VP9 playback with built-in HDMI-Tx/Rx has been released by Socionext. The MN2WS03101A is compatible with HEVC Main 10 profile, and supports new copyright protection, HDR and wide colour gamut.
Digital power monitors feature PMBus interface
The ADM1293 and ADM1294 digital power monitors with PMBus interface are in stock at Mouser Electronics. The high acccuracy, integrated digital power monitors from Analog Devices provide digital current, voltage, and power monitoring using an on-chip, 12‑bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated through a PMBus-compliant I2C interface.
LDO regulator suits small form factor consumer applications
Providing two regulated outputs for up to 300mA for each output channel, a dual output LDO regulator has been introduced by Semtech. The SC563 accepts an input supply rail of 2.3 to 5.5V and provides two fixed, regulated outputs, which eliminate the need for external resistor divider networks.
'Practical' DC power supplies meet many applications
The 9130B Series is a new family of programmable triple output DC power supplies from B&K Precision. The new linear triple output power supply line offers three isolated outputs that can be adjusted independently or combined in series or parallel to output higher voltage or current.
DIN-rail power supplies hailed as 'fit & forget'
Available with standard output voltages of 12 and 24VDC, adjustable by a front cover potentiometer, the REDIN45 and REDIN60 DIN-Rail power supplies have been unveiled by RECOM. In order to make them as durable and reliable as possible, high quality components and generous design margins were used to ensure a long, trouble-free life. The concept behind the power supplies is 'fit & forget' because once fitted, they should never need any further...
Experience greater suppression of frequency fluctuations
The XC9257/XC9258 series of 1.0A step-down, synchronous DC/DC converters, equipped with unique COT control, has been released by TOREX SEMICONDUCTOR.
ICs safely discharge X capacitors up to 6µF
Increasing design flexibility by covering a wide range of applications and output power, the CAPZero-2 X capacitor discharge ICs have been unveiled by Power Integrations. Featuring an expanded X capacitor range from 0.1 to 6µF and a 1kV breakdown voltage rating which allows for a transient voltage capability of 6kV, CAPZero-2 ICs withstand severe line surges and swells.
LDO regulators support DDR memory
A series of high performance LDO regulators designed to support DDR memory has been released by ON Semiconductor. The NCP51200, NCP51400, NCP51510 and NCP51199 feature built in Power MOSFETS and are targeted at a wide variety of applications in the computing, data networking, industrial and handheld consumer markets for specific applications such as SDRAM DIMM memories, servers, routers, smartphones, tablet computer platforms, set top boxes, smar...
X-FAB Silicon Foundries & Exagan collaborate
X-FAB Silicon Foundries and Exagan have entered into a joint development agreement to industrialise Exagan’s GaN-on-silicon technology, begin producing high-speed power switching devices on 200mm wafers and establish a European production centre where the two partner companies will manufacture GaN devices for the solar, industrial, automotive and IT electronics. The two companies already have begun to demonstrate their capabilities by proce...
