PCIM Europe: Cymbet Chips Pass Biocompatibility Tests
Cymbet used the PCIM Europe show to reveal the successful results of in vivo biocompatibility feasibility studies that were conducted to evaluate the biological safety of the EnerChi Rechargeable Solid State Battery. EnerChip bare die batteries were crushed and combined into a saline solution which was introduced into an in vivo test setting. No ill effects were recorded nor were any test article related lesions observed in this study.
92% Efficient 100mA Synchronous Buck Converter From Linear
Linear introduce a 150V input-capable synchronous buck converter that delivers up to 100mA of continuous output current. The LTC3639 operates from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 150V, eliminating the need for an external transient suspension device. The LTC3639 utilizes internal synchronous rectification and a programmable peak current-mode design to optimize efficiency over a broad range of output currents.
