IR’s New DirectFETplus Power MOSFET Family for DC-DC Switching Applications Improves Efficiency up to 2 Percent
International Rectifier has introduced a family of DirectFET plus power MOSFETs featuring IR’s new generation of silicon that sets a new standard in efficiency for 12 V input synchronous buck applications including next-generation servers, desktops, and notebooks.
Sub-Microamp Quiescent Current LDOs Extend Battery Life in Wireless Devices
Analog Devices introduced four low-dropout regulators (LDOs) that address the size, power dissipation and power-supply-rejection requirements of wireless mobile devices. The ADP160, ADP161, ADP162 and ADP163 ultra-low-quiescent-current LDOs extend the battery life of portable devices by drawing only 560 nA (typical) at no load and 42 μA of quiescent current (typical) at full load. These LDOs provide superior 70 dB PSRR (power-supply-rejection ...
Torex - 1A, 0.5v Ultra-low Dropout Voltage Regulator With Soft-start
The new XC6602 series from Torex is a high speed and highly accurate LDO which can supply up to 1A of output current while consuming only 110µA. With the help of a bias voltage that can be set between 2.5V and 6.0V, the XC6602 operates with input voltages from 0.5V to 3.0V and is readily available with fixed output voltages from 0.5V to 1.8V in 0.1V increments.

Almag High Inductance HVSM Differential Chokes
Almag have released new HVSM Hi-Inductance differential EMC inductor range, offering two to three times the inductance of conventional chokes from the similarly sized RVSM range. Mounted on an industry-standard vertical base to occupy minimum board area, all chokes use distributed-gap powder toroids for soft-saturation and low flux-leakage.
EMCO High Voltage Establishes a New Standard in High Voltage Miniaturization
The A Series is a new line of ultra-miniature, DC to HV DC converters that set a new industry standard in high voltage miniaturization with a unique package occupying less than one tenth of a cubic inch of volume, and an extremely low profile of only 0.250 inches (6.35mm)! Controllable output voltages range from 100 volts to 6000 volts. These component-sized converters are ideal for applications requiring minimal size and weight.
