Laptop power adaptor hits 94% efficiency, squeezes into 3.19 in.3 space
A reference design for a tiny, 65-W, 94% efficient ac/dc power adaptor for laptops measures just 3.19 in.3 and has a power density of 20 W/in3. This high efficiency means that the device runs cooler than standard ac/dc adapters. At the core of this adapter is a synchronous rectifier circuit using 150-V, 7-mΩ EPC2033 eGaN […]
Smallest isolated 8-W dc-dc converter fits in a DIP
MINMAX is announces the new MDWI08 series of 8W Isolated / Regulated DC-DC Converters with ultra-wide input ranges in the smallest/ultra-compact 16 pin DIP package measuring only 0.94 x 0.54 x 0.31”, offering a very high power density up to 50W/in3. This level of integration offers system designers the opportunity to reduce overall PCB layout […]
eGaN 30-V half-bridge module targets PoL apps
Efficient Power Conversion Corporation, the world’s leader in enhancement-mode gallium nitride on silicon (eGaN®) power FETs and ICs announces the EPC2111, 30 V enhancement-mode monolithic GaN transistor half bridge. By integrating two eGaN® power FETs into a single device, interconnect inductances and the interstitial space needed on the PCB are eliminated. This increases both efficiency […]
Sync step-down converters comply with the IEC 61508 safety standards
System architects can now rapidly comply to international electrotechnical commission (IEC) and safety integrated level (SIL) standards to achieve long-term system reliability with the MAX17572 and MAX17574 Himalaya synchronous step-down DC-DC converters from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. These highly efficient converters provide a 40% reduction in power dissipation and shrink solution size by 50% compared to other […]
