Fairchild announce best-in-class product obsolescence policy
Fairchild Semiconductor has today revealed a new industry best-in-class product obsolescence policy for power and mobile product lines. Under this new obsolescence policy, Fairchild will no longer obsolete any product unless the company is required to stop making the part.
Intelligent power supply for mobile DAQ systems
IPETRONIK introduce the M-UPS2, an intelligent interruption-free power supply module which serves as reliable power buffer for car testing DAQ systems. While voltage drops and breakdowns are safely bridged, this power supply module guarantees reliable and consistent data acquisition - even under extreme environmental conditions such as during summer and winter testing.
500 W low-profile economical power supply
MEAN WELL have announced the RSP-500 series of low profile enclosed type power supply with single output and PFC functionality. The 500W RSP-500 series power supplies are 22.1% smaller in size and up to 8% higher in working efficiency compared to corresponding models in the previous SP-480 series.
Pre-qualified batteries speed medical device design
Ideal for applications such as medical equipment and industrial electronics, the new customisable VR420 batteries have been introduced by Accutronics. Pre-qualified and pre-tested, these 14.4V batteries utilise the latest Lithium Ion technology to deliver high volumetric and gravimetric energy density. This means that equipment weighs less, while running for a longer time.
Integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution
Fairchild today introduces an ultra-compact, next-generation, integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution, designated the smart power stage module family. Ideal for applications such as synchronous buck DC-DC converters in high-performance computing and telecom, the SPS family utilises Fairchild’s DrMOS expertise to deliver high efficiency, high power density and high switching frequency.
DC/DC converter features new HiSAT-COT control method
Torex Semiconductor have today announced a new 1.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter featuring a new HiSAT-COT (Constant On Time) control method. The HiSAT-COT control method, featured in the XC9260/61 series, provides less fluctuation in oscillation frequency against load and input voltage when compared to standard COT control.
30MHz transformer compliant with Lantiq Vinax V3 family
The new VDSL2 30MHz transformer from Pulse is now compliant for use with the Lantiq Vinax V3 chipset family. Providing improved longitudinal balance and excellent total harmonic distortion performance, the BX4290LNL and BX4290LNLT transformers are used with the Class AB line driver to deliver high bandwidth over existing copper transmission lines.
New coupled chip power inductors for mobile devices
Coilcraft has announced the release of a new coupled chip power inductor series, the compact PFD3215 Series. Providing high efficiency and excellent current handling in a rugged and low-cost part, the dual-wound PFD3215 is designed for use in a variety of circuits including flyback, multi-output buck and SEPIC.
Ultra-slim power banks charge mobile devices via USB
Powersolve has today introduced the 3800mAh PSB3800 and the 8000mAh PSB8000 ultra-slim power banks. Measuring just 100 mm x 59 mm x 11 mm and 124 mm x 70 mm x 13 mm, respectively, the PSB3800 and PSB8000 pocket-sized powerbanks are capable of charging mobile phones, tablets, MP3 players, digital cameras and any device that can be charged using a standard USB outlet.
PoL DC-DC converters ideal for latest FPGAs & ASICs
Based on the Digital Control Architecture from Powervation, the first in a series of PoL non-isolated DC-DC converters has been announced today by Murata. Designed to address the industry’s growing requirement for low voltages and fast transient respnse times, the DOSA compatible OKLF 25A PoL is ideal for powering the latest FPGAs and ASICs used in networking, telecommunications and computing applications.
