The quad-channel VNF9Q20F is the first in a new family of monolithically integrated devices that combine ST’s advanced VIPower M0-9 MOSFET and proprietary STi2Fuse technology. Based on patented I2t […]
Ka-band amplifier targets high-volume satellite communications
CML Micro has introduced a Ka-band gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier designed for commercial high-volume satellite communication terminals. The CMX90A705 is a two-stage GaN linear power amplifier delivering +37.4 dBm (5.5 W) of saturated power, covering a frequency range of 27.5 to 31 GHz and offering 16.5 dB of small signal gain. It can function […]
Capacitors offer high CV, long lifetime, and compact size for high-density designs
KYOCERA AVX released the new RES Series radial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The new RES Series wet aluminum electrolytic capacitors are engineered to deliver high CV values in small case sizes, long-lifetime endurance of 5,000–7,000 hours at 105°C, and high ripple current to help manufacturers save board space in high-density PCB assemblies without compromising on endurance. They […]
Fuse line adds 0201 packages, protects 28 mA to 200 mA
KYOCERA AVX extended its Accu-Guard II Low-Current Fuses with new 0201 case sizes that deliver the industry’s lowest current ratings. Accu-Guard II Low-Current Fuses utilize thin-film technology to achieve precise control over the components’ physical and electrical characteristics — beyond what’s possible with standard fuse technologies — and deliver extremely low current ratings in compact […]
DIN rail power supplies series now includes high-power three-phase AC input options
TDK Corporation announces the addition of higher power, three-phase AC input models to the TDK-Lambda DRB series of DIN rail mount power supplies. With 24V, 48V, and 72V outputs, the products are rated for continuous operation at 480W or 960W and can deliver a boost of 720W and 1440W respectively for up to seven seconds. […]
