100V Isolated Flyback DC/DC Controller Simplifies Design & Eliminates Optocoupler
Linear Technology announced the LT3748, a high input voltage isolated flyback DC/DC controller that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter. No opto-isolator, third winding or signal transformer is required for feedback since the output voltage is sensed from the primary-side flyback signal. The LT3748 operates over a 5V to 100V input voltage range and drives an external N-channel power MOSFET, making it well suited for...
New junction box with extremely low profile from Tyco Electronics
A new four rail compact medium junction box for terminating foils of a PV panel has recently been released by Tyco Electronics. Featuring an extremely low profile and a segmented solder area, this junction box saves potting material for the solar industry OEMs, when connecting the foils on their solar panels. In addition to the low profile, the overall dimensions have also been optimized to reduce necessary bonding material for mounting onto the ...
