Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top 5 power products released in August 2025.
Navitas powers Xiaomi’s next generation GaN charger
Navitas Semiconductor has announced that Xiaomi’s next-generation 90W GaN charger will be powered by Navitas’ GaNSense Control ICs.
As the smallest 90W charger, this ultra-compact, high-power-density form-factor measures just 34 x 45 x 34mm and weighs only 65 grams – approximately half the size and a third the weight of typical GaN chargers. (Read more.)
PULS DIN-Rail DC/DC for multiple applications
PULS offers a wide range of efficient and reliable DC/DC converters which provide regulated DC output voltages of 12V, 24V, or 48V from a wide range of DC inputs. An efficient DC/DC converter can do more than just adjust voltages. It can contribute to system reliability and increase endurance in the event of voltage fluctuations.
The compact design of PULS DC/DC converters allow installation in standard decentralised on-machine cabinets and saves space on a DIN-rail, making room for addition control and monitoring products. (Read more.)
ROHM integrates best of both worlds with analog and digital power
ROHM’s new reference design (REF67004) is capable of controlling two commonly used power converter types in consumer and industrial power supply applications by using a single MCU: critical conduction mode PFC (Power Factor Correction) and quasi-resonant flyback.
This is part of ROHM’s LogiCoA Power Supply Solution, that leverages analog-digital hybrid control technology. It combines an analog-controlled power stage circuit featuring ROHM’s superior silicon MOSFETs and gate driver ICs with a digitally managed power supply circuit built around the low-power LogiCoA MCU.

1800V photorelay powers more efficient high-voltage EV batteries
Toshiba Electronics has launched the TLX9165T, an automotive photorelay in a 10-pin SO16L-T package, that achieves an output withstand voltage of 1800V (min.). It is designed specifically to support the battery management system (BMS) for high-voltage, 800V electric vehicle (EV) batteries and battery energy storage systems (ESS).
The wider adoption of EVs is significantly dependent on improvements in charging times and an extended cruising range. Both of these factors necessitate more efficient operation of battery systems. Battery management systems (BMS) are integral to achieving this efficiency by monitoring the battery charge status and the insulation between the battery and the vehicle body. (Read more.)
Predictive battery management technology from TI
Texas Instruments (TI) introduced new single-chip battery fuel gauges with first-of-its-kind adaptive Dynamic Z-Track technology for more efficient, reliable operation in battery-powered devices.
Compared to traditional gauging methods, the predictive modelling algorithm in TI’s BQ41Z90 and BQ41Z50 gauges achieve industry-leading state-of-charge and state-of-health accuracy within 1% error, helping extend battery run time by up to 30%. (Read more.)
