AC-DC supplies for the harshest operating conditions
The new TER Series of rugged, ultra low-profile AC-DC power supplies has been unveiled today by Schaefer. Designed for projects which require reliable and shock resistant power supplies, all of the units are uniquely sealed in a heat-conducting potting material.
IGBT designed to work in parallel with 'Sonic' diode
Based on XPT IGBT Technology, IXYS have today announced the new MIXD600PF650TSF high power phase-leg in the SimBus-F outline with a total Current - Voltage capability of 600 Ampere and 650 Volt. The discrete 650 Volt XPT Trench IGBT product is now also available in module outlines, up to 600 Amperes with the IXYS fast “Sonic” diodes.
ICs optimized for powertrain and in-cabin deployment
Two new AEC Qualified ICs have today been unveiled by ON Semiconductor. The NCV8876 non-synchronous boost controller and NCV896530 dual channel step-down DC-DC converter are highly optimized for automotive powertrain and in-cabin deployment due to their wide input voltage range and extensive operational temperature range.
Z Series now offering resistance range from 5 Ω to 600 kΩ
The VFR range from Vishay Precision Group has been enhanced with the Z Series now offering a resistance range from 5 Ω to 600 kΩ. The ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal Z-Foil through-hole COTS resistors are designed for high-precision industrial applications.
AC-DC power supply boasts 50% less dissipated heat
Designed for a range of medical and industrial applications, the new CCB200 series from XP Power comes with a typical efficiency of 94% and a maximum of 95%. Compared to typical 200W supplies, the ultra efficient “green” 200 Watt single output AC-DC power supplies generate 50% less dissipated heat when delivering full power, whilst no load power consumption is less than 0.5 W.
Shrink and simplify appliance motor drive design
International Rectifier have today introduced an intelligent power module featuring Power Factor Correction and inverter stage. The new IRAM630-1562F IPM shrinks and simplifies design of energy-efficient appliance and light industrial motor drive applications including air conditioners and washing machines.
5 W AC-DC converters in small SIP packaging
PEAK electronics has today announced the introduction of the PPM5-SB-xxELF AC-DC converter module, an expansion of the company's PPM SIP series. Available in a 42 x 27 x 11 mm ultra-miniature SIP12 package, the highly-efficient PPM5-SB-xxELF provides 5W, a significant improvement over the previous PPM SIP series offerings of 1.65W to 3W.
The price is right
New approaches to electrical power in smart homes can save costs in the face of increasing electricity prices. Paul Cheesman, Business Development Manager Europe North for RECOM Electronic, explores more in this article from ES Design magazine.
New regulator features unique Silent Switcher architecture
The LT8614 is a new 4A, 42V input capable synchronous step-down switching regulator from Linear. Featuring unique Silent Switcher architecture, the LT8614 reduces EMI/EMC emissions by more than 20dB, well below the CISPR 25 Class 5 limit. The LT8614 is ideal for automotive and industrial applications due to its 3.4V to 42V input voltage range, whilst the synchronous rectification delivers efficiency as high as 96% and the Burst Mode operation ke...
Minimize power & heat loss in PoE devices with new LT4321
The LT4321, an ideal diode bridge controller that replaces two diode bridge rectifiers with low-loss N-channel MOSFET bridges, has been launched today by Linear Technology. The LT4321 increases the available power and reduces heat dissipation in a PoE PD. The space- and power-efficient LT4321 dual active bridge rectifies and smoothly combines power from both the data and spare pairs into a single, polarity-correct supply output.
