Toshiba Electronics has released a new CMOS operational amplifier featuring ultra-low current consumption to its product line-up.

A new high current inductor that provides 50 % lower DCR than typical power inductors for improved efficiency in high frequency DC/DC converters has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology.

Power resistor manufacturer, Cressall, has trialled a new configuration for its expanded mesh resistor element. The new, 'Omega' shaping of the resistor elements will provide customers with an improved resistor design and better displacement of the mesh elements.

Powerbox has announced the release of its new high efficiency 750VDC input DC/DC converter for light-rail and industrial applications. The switching stage of the new PRBX ENR500D is based on an enhanced resonant topology providing a high efficiency of 95% typical across the low to high load range.

TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of 12.5A 300W rated models to the i7C series of non-isolated DC/DC converters. The output voltage of these step-up and step-down converters can be adjusted from five to 28V and they accept a wide range input voltage of nine to 53V. The converters seamlessly transition from buck to boost mode operation without disruption in performance.

Allegro MicroSystems has introduced a portfolio of 80V motor drivers for advanced 48V automotive systems. Allegro’s 48V products effectively address the critical need for flexible and reliable solutions in electric vehicles. Allegro’s new suite of fully integrated gate drivers offer optimised architecture and performance directly impacting vehicle weight, battery/fuel efficiency, and driver safety.

Magna-Power Electronics has introduced the DBx Module for its MagnaDC programmable DC power supplies, bringing high performance to nearly all models and product series, from 1.5 kW to 3,000 kW. The DBx Module, combined with MagnaDC power supplies, delivers ultra-high stability, low ripple, high precision, and high accuracy, with voltage, current, and power control modes.

Nexperia has responded to industry’s demands to maximise performance by defining a new MOSFET product group. Application Specific FETs (ASFETs) feature MOSFETs with optimised parameters for specific applications. By focusing on individual applications, significant improvements can be offered.

Delta Electronics have announced the availability of the Q80SV family of 150W ¼ brick EN50155 approved DC/DC converters, for rail applications. These increase the range and versatility of their rail products. With a wide input range of 14.4 to 170V, the Q80SV units offer single output variants of 5V, 12, 15,24 and 54V to cover many rail requirements.

The MASTERGAN1 system-in-package (SiP) from STMicroelectronics is now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics, Inc.
