Resistors, capacitors and inductors from a renowned manufacturer. In the modern world, basic electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors are often overshadowed by the universally applied microprocessors. However, it is these seemingly insignificant components that form the foundation without which no advanced electronic system could exist. Thanks to them, the basic tasks and functions of electronic circuits can ...
Rohm has created a proprietary trench MOS structure for 100V Schottky diodes to improve the trade-off between forward voltage and reverse leakage. It has been used to create the YQ series of rectifier diodes, available in surface-mount packages from 0.5 x 1mm to TO-263 with ratings between 1A and 30A. Most of them are available with automotive qualification. Leakage is ...
The MX-Q Series 2 is the updated version of the MX series DC power supply by Aim-TTi. The quad-channel power supply has a larger colour panel, with colour-coded outputs. It also includes a TripLink feature, which allows the user to define assigned outputs for over-voltage protection and over-current protection. Aim-TTi says it has also enhanced power sharing between outputs. The ...
Cosel has announced a series of ac-dc power supplies with enhanced reliability for industrial applications. Called the PDA series, the PSUs are form, fit and function backwards compatible with the company’s 20 year old PBA series, with fewer internal components explaining part of the reliability increase. With more to follow, the initial versions are: PDA15F (15W 31 x 78 x 85mm), ...
EPC has created a GaN transistor dc-dc converter demo board that converts an input between 36 and 60V to a regulated 13V 16A output. Called EPC9195, it is a synchronous buck converter built around a pair of 2.5 x 1.5mm EPC2619 GaN hemts, and an LTC7891 controller IC from Analogue Devices. “48V input is getting popular due to USB PD ...
Maxon has introduced a controller board for brushed DC and brush-less dc motors up to 1,800W (30A) continuous duty and 3,600W (60A) peak, designed for integrating inside products. Operation is across 10 to 60V and -30 to +25 °C (+75°C with derating). Called ESCON2 Module (part 783722), it is a four-quadrant device that can drive and brake in both direction, ...
Innoscience Technology has launched a 100V bi-directional GaN-on-silicon bi-directional transistor, intended to replace a pair of back-to-back mosfets for turning a power rail on and off. It “can be employed in 48V or 60V battery management systems, as well as for high-side load switch applications in bidirectional converters and switching circuits in power systems”, according to the company, which sees ...
Toshiba has introduced a 60V p-channel mosfet rated at 60V and 90A continuous current, with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. Called XPH8R316MC (90A), the company sees it being used in vehicles, in load switches, electronic relays and motor drives. A similar part, XPH13016MC, is the same except rated at 60A. In both cases, pulse rating is double the continuous current ...
Power Integrations has announced the fifth generation of its InnoSwitch isolated fly-back ac-dc converter ICs, which removes the need for primary-side active clamping when operated in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) mode. Called the InnoSwitch5-Pro family, they include 750V or 900V GaN power switches, and the company claims they can be used in converters with over 95% efficiency. “The combination of ZVS ...
LEM and Semikron Danfoss have teamed up to monitor current in automotive silicon carbide power mosfet modules. The result is ‘Nano’, a current sensor that is compatible with Semikron’s DCM SiC power modules, which are rated at 750 or 1,200V and 200 to 1,000A. “The idea behind the Nano concept was to design a core-based current sensor that could fit ...
