Step-Down Converter Allows Applications Processors to Run at Maximum Clock Speed in Handheld Applications
Maxim has introduced the MAX8649, a 1.8A, synchronous, fixed-frequency, DC-DC step-down converter in a tiny, 4mm2 wafer-level package (WLP). This device delivers extremely tight output-voltage accuracy by integrating a highly precise bandgap reference and by minimizing offset errors in the feedback circuit. Fully differential remote sense ensures precise regulation at the load by eliminating the resistive losses associated with PCB trace impedanc...
UL Listed 2KVA Rackmount Inverter Boasts Industry Leading Power Density in 1U Package
Schaefer’s AEP-A2000R Series of highly efficient, pure sign wave inverters are now UL60950-1 Listed. The Series provides 2KVA of power in a compact 1U rack design and is available in three standard input configurations of 12VDC, 24VDC, and the less frequently found 48VDC. Outputs are regulated to ±3% or better. A built-in, 4-6ms automatic bypass switch allows for redundant operation from utility power if the DC supply drops out.
