Würth Elektronik has added to its product families in the areas of inductors, power transformers, RF components and signal transformers, optoelectronics, as well as MagI³C power modules. A transformer for battery management systems and a UV-A LED is just a couple of highlights. A brochure with information on the additions to the portfolio is provided […]
Dual-channel DC-DC controllers drive LED automotive headlamps
Infineon Technologies AG expands the LITIX Power family with the dual-channel, stand-alone DC-DC controller TLD6098-2ES. The controller is the first product that can drive a full LED headlamp by itself without an additional microcontroller. It can also operate the four standard LED front light functions: High Beam (HB), Low Beam (LB), Daytime Running Lights (DRL), […]
How to gauge LED flicker
A few years ago, back when ordinary LED bulbs still sold for north of $10 a piece, there was a great brouhaha about LED light flicker. Light flicker can certainly be dangerous. Sufficiently intense flicker at between 3 and 70 Hz can cause epileptic seizure in a small percentage of the population. And flicker that […]
LEDs replace single-contact bayonet-base incandescents
LEDtronics announced new additions to its industry-leading offering of HYPERLINK intermediate-based LED bulbs that fit in enclosed fixtures, with low voltage, 160-degree spherical illumination, low power consumption, and high lumen intensity. The B605SM series is available either as a 14VAC/VDC bulb that HYPERLINK replaces incandescent lamps 67, 89, 97, 98, 1095, 1155, and 5008 or […]
STMicroelectronics’ 50W GaN converter enables high-efficiency power designs in consumer and industrial applications
The STMicroelectronics VIPerGaN50 simplifies building single-switch flyback converters up to 50 Watts and integrates a 650V gallium-nitride (GaN) power transistor for superior energy efficiency and miniaturization. With its single-switch topology and high integration, including current-sensing and protection circuitry also built-in, the VIPerGaN50 comes in a compact and low-cost 5mm x 6mm package. The speed of the integrated […]
