Providing up to 75W output capability with an integrated UPS and battery charger for NiMH and SVLA batteries, the new Micronix PV-5127S from Datasound Laboratories is said to be the first ATX compatible power supply on PC/104 architecture.

A highly integrated, single supply video driver from Intersil has an 8 MHz low-pass filter that removes GSM noise from the video band, and also serves as an anti-aliasing filter. The ISL59111 also provides the added benefit of seeing input signals below ground.

Omniflex has introduced what it believes will solve voltage incompatibility problems in remote telemetry applications. The PT L50C-D is a combined power supply and dual charger that runs from a universal 85 to 264V AC input and is designed specifically for those applications that need to maintain both 12 and 24V systems.

A high voltage MOSFET from Zetex Semiconductors has been introduced to handle the requirements of pre-bias supply circuitry. A 450V enhancement mode N-channel device, the ZXMN0545G4 is used in a simple linear regulator to supply PWM ICs at start-up, and is disabled once the converter is fully on.

With its wide common mode sense range of 0V to within 2V of the supply voltage applied, the ZXCT1051 current monitor from Zetex Semiconductors enables true short circuit current monitoring.

Combining complementary NPN and PNP transistors in the SOT236 package, the ZXTC2045E6 from Zetex Semiconductors produces the drive requirement needed to switch high power MOSFETs and IGBTs in power supply designs.

Intersil's latest single-phase buck voltage regulator is designed to power next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs) or graphics cores used on Intel Santa Rosa platforms. The device reduces power consumption and enhances the performance of the GPU by dynamically changing output voltage and operation modes corresponding to the advanced GPU control protocol.

XP Power has introduced an AC/DC switching power supply that enables users to specify any voltage level up to the maximum rating of each output while still maintaining full agency approvals. Other power supplies only permit pre-defined output voltages in order to maintain the approvals status.

IBT's new range of rechargeable lithium-ion polymer cells have been developed for portable applications such as wireless devices, GSM/3G products and hand held instrumentation / meters.

Semtech has announced the SC4505, an integrated boost (step-up) DC/DC converter for driving white LEDs in LCD backlight and camera flash applications in cell phones and PDAs.
