Vishay has introduced an automotive-rated series of positive temperature coefficient (PTC) in-rush current thermistors that can absorb up to 340J, designed for dc link charging and energy discharge circuits. Called PTCEL67R, they are through-hole disc devices, available with 25°C resistances (R25 values) from 150Ω to 1.5kΩ and handling up to 1.2kVdc. They can handle 180J at 85°C and 130J at ...
Vishay has stretched an SO-6 package to accommodate 1kV operation from opto-based mosfet and IGBT gate drivers. The body is ~7mm from end to end and creepage is 8mm. Clearance is 7mm for the ‘option 9’ package which has conventionally bent legs, or 8mm for the ‘option 8’ package which has widely-splayed legs (see image). Peak working voltage is 1.14kV ...
Infineon is looking towards 1,500V dc links with a 2kV 80A silicon carbide Schottky diode. IDYH80G200C5 is the 80A 2,000V part, which comes packaged in four-lead TO-247PLUS-4-HCC, with 14mm creepage and 5.4mm clearance. Only two of the leads are used – the two adjacent to the creepage slot. The cathode is connected to the separated pin as well as the ...
Astute Group has signed a distribution agreement with British opto-electronics manufacturer, Isocom Components. The franchised distributor will offer the manufacturer’s optocouplers, optoswitches, photo triacs, and photo mosfets. Graham McBeth, chairman of Isocom Components, remarked on Astute’s “excellent relationships with a number of the largest customer groups and strong design influence, particularly in Europe”. “Astute can help customers navigate the complexities ...
Lumissil Microsystems has introduce a speciallist RISC-V microcontroller for touch-controlled LED-based user interfaces, with optional sound feedback. There are two versions: IS31CS9310 for industrial use and AEC-Q100 grade-1 qualified IS32CS9310 for automotive use. An 8 x 12 LED matrix driver is the primary peripheral, with eight PMOS switches and 12 built-in 80mA PWM-controlled current sinks, that allow each LED to ...
Littelfuse has introduced a ‘tact’ style push-button with change-over contacts. ‘KSC DCT’ as it will be known, has a 6.2 x 6.2mm surface-mount body and is sealed to IP67. Both gull-wing and J-lead leg variants are available. “Everyone can now precisely monitor the actual status of an electromechanical surface-mount technology tactile switch, even when the switch is not in use, ...
Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one device”, according to the company. TPLD801, with pale blue digital blocks and mixed-signal blocs in dark blue InterConnect Studio is the programming tool for design, simulation and configuration “without ...
