IR introduces PowIRaudio IR4321M and IR4322M power modules
International Rectifier has expanded its PowIRaudio family with the introduction of the single channel IR4321M and dual channel IR4322M integrated power modules. The 60V IR4321M and IR4322M complement the existing product offering and expand the power capability of low load-impedance Class D audio systems in applications including car audio systems, tabletop audio systems, active speakers and musical instruments (with integrated amplifiers).
Using Constant Current Control For Metal Purification
In the vast world of power supply applications, we can identify two main categories for regulating the power applied to the load. The first being ‘constant voltage’, where the control loop maintains a constant voltage to varying load current demands and the second, ‘constant current’ where the current is maintained constant to vary the voltage applied to the load.
Toshiba Introduces Low RDS (ON) P-ch MOSFETs for Mobile Devices
Toshiba America Electronic Components has announced the addition of three new high current P-ch MOSFETs: the SSM6J505NU, SSM6J501NU and SSM6J503NU. Supporting high currents for high power dissipation packages, the new MOSFETs make ideal charging switches for smartphones and other mobile devices with high current charging circuits.
