Isolated dc/dc converters come in SMD and SIP packages
TRACO POWER has announced the release of their TRN 1 family of isolated dc/dc converters that cover a wide range of low power applications where space is limited. The TRN 1 series feature wide 2:1 input ranges, a full load -40 to +90°C operating temperature range and are available in a compact SIP or SMD package […]
New boost converter provides 1.3x longer battery life
A boost dc/dc converter has a built-in MOSFET featuring the lowest current consumption in the industry, making it a candidate for electronic devices powered by dry-cell batteries such as electronic dictionaries, remote controls for home appliances, and gadgets (i.e. toys, accessories). The BU33UV7NUX outputs the 3.3 V necessary for driving MCUs in applications requiring 1-3-V […]
High-frequency, triple-output synchronous converter maintains outputs during automotive cold cranking
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7815, a high frequency (up to 2.25MHz) triple output (buck, buck, boost), synchronous converter that maintains all output voltages in regulation during automotive cold crank conditions. A 12V automotive battery can droop to less than 4 volts during engine restart or cold crank, causing reset of infotainment systems and […]
Bidirectional current DAC adjusts output voltage of virtually any dc/dc regulator
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7106, a PMBus I2C controlled precision bidirectional current DAC designed to adjust the output voltage of virtually any DC/DC regulator. Through its PMBus compatible interface, the LTC7106 receives a 7-bit serial code and converts it to a bidirectional (source, sink) output current. When the current is fed into the […]
Wide-range output, 1/32nd footprint dc/dc converters operate from 9 to 53-Vdc input
The 100-W rated TDK-Lambda i3A series of non-isolated DC-DC converters are capable of operating from an input voltage of 9 to 53 V. The step-down converter delivers an output voltage that can be adjustable from 3.3 to 16.5 V or 5 to 30 V with output currents of up to 8 A. The series is […]

Formula E racers to get lighter thanks to SiC inverters
Full SiC power modules will form the basis of the inverter on the Venturi Formula E team in the FIA Formula E 2017–2018 (season four). The racing season will start on December 2nd and 3rd in Hong Kong. The SiC power modules were devised by ROHM. The inverter for season four features embedded full SiC […]
Ultra-compact 3-W wall-plug adapters meet DoE Level VI, CoC Tier 2 efficiency standards
A new series of 3-W wall plug power adapters are dubbed the SWI3‑N and SWI3‑N‑USB series, available with North American input blades, and the SWI3‑E and SWI3‑E‑USB series, featuring European input blades. They are all certified to meet the current average efficiency and no-load power requirements enforced by the US Dept. of Energy (DoE) Level […]
High-density 15/20-W ac/dc medical-grade power supplies
Two compact and miniature on-board type medical grade ac/dc power supplies are the encapsulated-type MPM-15/20 and PCB-type MFM-15/20. The new MPM and MFM series are only one-third the size of previous generations, but have a wider operating temperature, higher efficiency and lower no load power consumption. The designs of these two series comply with IEC/EN60601-1 […]
