Small boost DC-DC converter designed to bias APD
Linear unveil a new fixed frequency, current-mode step-up DC-DC converter, the LT3905. Designed to bias avalanche photodiodes in optical receivers, the LT3905 features high side APD current monitoring with over five decades of dynamic range and better than 2% relative accuracy over the 3µA to 3mA range.
Low output ripple makes DC power supplies ideal for sensistive equipment
The CB Series of miniature, regulated DC to high voltage DC power supplies has today been announced by EMCO. With the CB Series offering an output of 0 to 10kV at 1 watt, the introduction of this series signals an expansion of EMCO’s miniature, regulated 1W offering to 10kV.
DC/DC converter only needs 2 externally connected capacitors
Torex have today unveiled a series of high speed transient response 1.5A synchronous step-down Micro DC/DC converters. Packaged in a small 2.5mm x 3.2mm x 1.0mm USP-9B01 package, the XCL213/214 series comes with an integrated inductor and requires only two capacitors connected externally to generate a stable power supply.
2U rack-mount high-voltage DC power supply
Magna-Power Electronics has expanded the XR Series product line with the introduction of new fourth generation models at 2 kV, 4 kV, 6 kV, 8 kV and 10 kV at 2 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW and 8 kW in an industry leading 2U rack-mount package. Delivering ± 0.075% programming accuracy and ≤ 0.15% RMS output voltage ripple, the new XR series power supplies are among the most accurate lowest ripple high voltage power supplies available in ...
Fairchild announce best-in-class product obsolescence policy
Fairchild Semiconductor has today revealed a new industry best-in-class product obsolescence policy for power and mobile product lines. Under this new obsolescence policy, Fairchild will no longer obsolete any product unless the company is required to stop making the part.
Intelligent power supply for mobile DAQ systems
IPETRONIK introduce the M-UPS2, an intelligent interruption-free power supply module which serves as reliable power buffer for car testing DAQ systems. While voltage drops and breakdowns are safely bridged, this power supply module guarantees reliable and consistent data acquisition - even under extreme environmental conditions such as during summer and winter testing.
500 W low-profile economical power supply
MEAN WELL have announced the RSP-500 series of low profile enclosed type power supply with single output and PFC functionality. The 500W RSP-500 series power supplies are 22.1% smaller in size and up to 8% higher in working efficiency compared to corresponding models in the previous SP-480 series.
Pre-qualified batteries speed medical device design
Ideal for applications such as medical equipment and industrial electronics, the new customisable VR420 batteries have been introduced by Accutronics. Pre-qualified and pre-tested, these 14.4V batteries utilise the latest Lithium Ion technology to deliver high volumetric and gravimetric energy density. This means that equipment weighs less, while running for a longer time.
Integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution
Fairchild today introduces an ultra-compact, next-generation, integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution, designated the smart power stage module family. Ideal for applications such as synchronous buck DC-DC converters in high-performance computing and telecom, the SPS family utilises Fairchild’s DrMOS expertise to deliver high efficiency, high power density and high switching frequency.
DC/DC converter features new HiSAT-COT control method
Torex Semiconductor have today announced a new 1.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter featuring a new HiSAT-COT (Constant On Time) control method. The HiSAT-COT control method, featured in the XC9260/61 series, provides less fluctuation in oscillation frequency against load and input voltage when compared to standard COT control.
