1500 Vdc isolation in smallest size available
Coilcraft have today announced a new series of miniature flyback transformers, the LPD5030V Series. Providing 1500 Vdc (1000 Vrms) winding-to-winding isolation in the smallest package size available, the compact and low-profile LPD5030V Series transformers have a 1:1 turns ratio and an excellent coupling coefficient of K ≥ 0.97.
Allegro launch new POL converter modules
Allegro Microsystems has today introduced a new series of POL converter modules, the BR200 series. Featuring an industry standard exterior shape and footprint, these new thin-profile POL converters are responsive to very high speed loads and are also compatible with ceramic capacitors. Typical applications for the BR200 series include router switch equipment and WDM computer server applications within the telecommunication server market.
Torex introduce 18V synchronous PWM buck DC-DC converter
Torex Semiconductor has today introduced a new series of synchronous step-down DC-DC converters. Featuring two integrated N-ch driver Transistors and a bootstrap configuration, the new XC9248 series has an input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V and the maximum output current is 2.2A. The XC9248 utilises a fixed PWM control method for high efficiency which also generates low levels of output ripple.
IGBT-driver cores target 10 to 75 kVA inverters and servo drives
CT-Concept Technologie has today announced the launch of a new IGBT-driver core designed to suit inverters operating in the power range from 10-75 kVA.
