Automotive-grade linear LED driver offers enhanced capabilities
Diodes Incorporated releases a new automotive-compliant* linear LED driver that enables users to independently control the brightness and color of its three channels. Human-centric automotive design is driving the demand for multi-channel LED drivers, which allow vehicle occupants to easily change interior lighting colors to match their mood. By simultaneously enabling animated turning-indicator signals and […]
Gen-2 MOSFET paves way for greener power systems and EV charging
Infineon Technologies AG opens a new chapter in power systems and energy conversion and introduces the next generation of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET trench technology. The new Infineon CoolSiC MOSFET 650 V and 1200 V Generation 2 improve MOSFET key performance figures such as stored energies and charges by up to 20 percent compared to […]
Half-bridge transformers boast chip-style construction
HTX7045C Series transformers feature a chip-style construction – a significant advancement over traditional core and bobbin designs that not only reduces the size of the component but also streamlines the manufacturing process, resulting in a more cost-effective solution. It offers low interwinding capacitance (as low as 0.7 pF), making it particularly well-suited for use in […]
Direct drive linear servo motor integrates encoder and temperature sensor
Moticont is introducing their new miniature 16 mm diameter SDLM-016-032-01-01 Direct Drive Linear Motor with integrated position and temperature sensors. This smallest of the fully enclosed SDLM series of linear motors features zero backlash, zero cogging, high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, and long life. Also known as an electric cylinder, this compact direct-drive linear […]
Schottky diode series now comes in CFP3-HP packages.
Nexperia announced that it is now offering a portfolio of 22 new planar Schottky diodes in CFP3-HP packaging. The portfolio includes 11 industrial, as well as 11 AEC-Q101 qualified products. This release supports the growing trend for manufacturers to replace devices in SMx-type packaging with smaller-footprint CFP-packaged devices, especially in automotive applications. These diodes are suitable for […]
Miniature circuit breakers meet requirements for high voltage applications
c3controls has launched a new line of Direct Current (DC) Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), specifically designed for higher voltage applications with DC currents. The new line of Series 1110 DC MCBs feature an industry-best rating of 250V DC per-pole, far greater than the highest per-pole ratings currently available from comparable DC MCBs, which top out […]
EC-Q200 qualified automotive-grade chip resistor is also anti-sulfur and lead-free
Stackpole introduces the RMEA Series, an automotive grade chip resistor that is not only fully lead-free but also AEC-Q200 qualified and anti-sulfur. Automotive grade chip resistors adhere to higher materials and process standards as well as 100% AOI to ensure the consistent performance and long-term reliability that general-purpose chip resistors cannot guarantee. The RMEA is […]
MOSFET power switches protect 12V automotive circuits
Diodes Incorporated has introduced its first automotive-compliant, dual-channel, high-side power switches—the ZXMS82090S14PQ, ZXMS82120S14PQ, and ZXMS82180S14PQ—as an expansion of its IntelliFET self-protected MOSFET portfolio. These intelligent switches deliver high power within a compact footprint while also providing robust protection and diagnostic capabilities. The series is designed for driving 12V automotive loads, such as LEDs, bulbs, actuators, and motors […]
Reed relays now offered in 5kV stand-off, up two 1.5kV switching version
Pickering Electronics has added a 5kV stand-off, up to 1.5kV switching version to its single-in-line Series 104 reed relay family. Previously, to achieve a 5kV stand-off rating, a larger, non-SIP (Single-in-Line-Package) relay was required. Four of the new 104 5D parts can fit the same PCB area that one larger style occupied, even with sufficient […]
