Murata has expanded its product range of embedded-core technology DC-DC converters with the NXF1 series, a cost effective, fully regulated, high isolation converter with 3.3 V or 5 V outputs from Murata Power Solutions. Inputs available are nominal 3.3 V and 5 V in an industry-standard surface-mount package with a uniquely low profile. Line regulation […]
Switched capacitor converter topology implements zero-voltage switching
Technology advances and the demands being placed on high power Artificial Intelligence data centers are stretching the boundaries of the existing power solutions. Increasingly sophisticated power solutions are driving a rapidly increasing demand for highly efficient, resonant power supplies. These, in turn, require complex Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designs, components with extremely tight tolerances, and […]
Compact 3-W DC/DC converter comes in SIP, SMD package, has 2:1 input range
TRACO POWER has announced the release of their TRN 3 family of isolated and fully regulated high-performance DC/DC converter modules that cover a wide range of low power applications where space is limited. The TRN 3 series feature wide 2:1 input ranges, a full load -40 to +65°C operating temperature range and are available in […]
DC/DC converter consumes just 180 nA
In recent years, the number of battery-driven portable devices such as smartphones, wearables, and IoT has risen dramatically. This increases the demand for smaller components that can provide greater design flexibility along with the necessary space for integrating new features while also achieving lower power consumption to prolong battery life. ROHM has recently announced the availability […]
Regulated bus converter delivers 1,300 W in a quarter-brick footprint
Bel Power Solutions and Protection announces the 0RQB-X3S11BG, a next-generation regulated bus converter with 45-56 VDC input / 10.4 VDC @ 125 A output and offering up to 1300 W in a quarter brick footprint. In a distributed power system, the demand for power continues to grow due to new Carrier Ethernet Systems being deployed […]
Quad-output 42-V converter operates from 3 to 42-V inputs
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LT8603, a 42V input capable, high efficiency quad output monolithic switching regulator. Its flexible design combines a boost controller with two high voltage 2.5A and 1.5A synchronous step-down channels and a lower voltage 1.8A synchronous step-down channel to provide four independent outputs. The LT8603 can be configured with the […]
Designing with bricks – baseplate-cooled converter modules
Power converter modules can simplify equipment design, but engineers may still need to look at EMC emissions and input-surge filtering. Gary Bocock, XP Power Baseplate cooled power converter modules, also known as bricks, provide building-blocks for integrating power conversion into end equipment. These high-density power modules find use in outdoor sealed enclosures, transportation and defense […]
