SiC MOSFET suited for boost converters
Richardson RFPD is offering the new 1200V, 32A, 80mΩ SiC MOSFET from Microsemi with full design support capabilities. The APT40SM120J is built on Microsemi's patented SiC MOSFET technology, which features best-in-class RDS(on) vs. temperature. It also features ultra-low gate resistance for minimising switching energy loss, superior maximum switching frequency, and outstanding ruggedness with superior short circuit withstand.
Simple analogue PWM control for DC/DC converters
Claimed to be the industry’s first devices to combine 40V operation and PMBus communication interfaces, Microchip has introduced its latest Digitally Enhanced Power Analogue (DEPA) controllers. The MCP19118 and MCP19119 provide simple yet effective analogue PWM control for DC/DC synchronous buck converters up to 40V and offer the same configurability as a digital MCU.
Switching regulator integrates LDOs for accurate tracking
A 400mA, 40V step-down switching regulator with dual tracking LDO outputs has been released by Linear Technology. Operating from a VIN range of 4.3-40V with transient protection to 60V, the LT3668 is particularly suitable for automotive and industrial applications. Up to 400mA can be delivered by the internal 600mA switch and distributed to the combined loads of the primary output and both of the tracking LDOs.
DC-DC converters target transport applications
Luso Electronics Distribution, the sole UK and Ireland representative for SynQor power supplies and related components is selling the new RQ24 Zeta 500W half-brick DC-DC isolated power module in the SynQor RailQor series. Compliant with EN50155 European Standards, the RQ24 joins the RQ1B, RQ72, RQ68 and RQ18 modules within the range which deliver different continuous and transient power input voltages for customers to choose from depending on th...
DC-DC converter meets demand for smaller devices
MEAN WELL has produced a 5W regulated single output DC-DC converter to meet the increasing demand for system miniaturisation. The SPB05 series is in SIP (single-in-line) package form and adopts the plastic case of the 3W SPB03(0.86inx0.36inx0.44in) to 5W output.
Primary switched modules offer plug and play solution
MTM Power’s primary switched modules PM-IP67A200 are suitable for applications with protection degree IP67 as a plug and play solution directly on site. This feature eliminates the need for switching cabinets or enclosures. They are specially designed for the electric supply of control, sensor and actuating systems in the field.
Integrated PowerSoCs offer industry's smallest footprint
Fully compliant with the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC-Q100) qualification standard temperature grade 2, nine PowerSoC devices have been released by Altera. The Altera Enpirion PowerSoCs which comply with the critical stress test qualification for automotive ICs include step-down devices from the EP53xx and EN63xx families.
650V IGBTs optimised for solar & UPS applications
Expanding its portfolio of IGBTs, International Rectifier has announced the IRGP47xx family of rugged, reliable 650V devices. Optimised for ultra-fast switching of 8-30KHz, the IGBTs are designed for applications including solar inverters, welding equipment, industrial motors, induction heating and UPS.
Power supplies have a 10-year E-cap lifetime
Featuring active PFC which meets EN/IEC61000-3-2, 12 and 15V single output power supplies have been released by TDK. The models, which operate from a universal input of 85-265VAC, are additions to the company’s ZWS300BAF series of power supplies. Providing a reliable solution, the power supplies have a 10-year E-cap lifetime.
