BGA package option comes to 48-V ZVS buck regulator series
Vicor Corporation announced the PI354x-00-BGIZ, the latest addition to the 48V Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator portfolio, offering a new BGA package option to the existing PI354x-00-LGIZ LGA series. PI354x Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator’s high-performance ZVS topology enables 48V direct to PoL without sacrificing performance. With step-down regulation from a higher voltage source, engineers can deploy […]
Step-down ultrathin regulator module handles ASIC, FPGA loads
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTM4686, a dual 10A or single 20A ultrathin step-down µModule regulator with a PMBus interface housed in a 16mm x 11.9mm x 1.82mm LGA package. The 1.82mm package height allows the LTM4686 to be placed on a PC board very close to its load such as an FPGA or […]
Vehicle electrical systems: Zero-to-sixty in 48 volts
Versatile automotive 48-V electrical systems will reduce CO2 emissions and make practical super-efficient electrical subsystems. Joseph Pulomena, EPCOS, a TDK Group Co. NEARLY five years ago, the U.S. government issued rules requiring automakers to hit a fleet average of 54.5 mpg for new cars and trucks – nearly doubling average fuel economy. Electric vehicles and […]
Are power systems up to the task of running self-driving cars?
Automotive electronics depends on power supplies that can handle abuse like load dumps. New ICs are optimized for these extreme environments and can meet stringent vehicle safety standards. Tony Armstrong, Analog Devices Inc. THE auto industry expects a transition to autonomous vehicles via both an evolutionary path, where existing cars get there little by little […]
Auto-qualified, high-efficiency, 3.2-MHz synchronous quad output buck regulators feature low EMI
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear ADP5138, automotive qualified, high efficiency, 3.2MHz synchronous quad output buck regulators, incorporating a unique fixed frequency, peak current mode, PWM control architecture that reduces conducted and radiated emissions. The device’s high efficiency buck regulators improve thermal management, operate down to 0.8V outputs and deliver up to 1A of continuous output […]
DC/DC converter module produces 9, 12, 24-V outputs
With the MagI³C VDRM, Würth Elektronik eiSos introduces a new DC/DC voltage converter in the MagI³C power module family in a TO263-7EP package. The input voltage range of the converter covers the range from 6 to 42 V to allow conversion from the 9 V, 12 V or 24 V industry bus. The product family is […]
Immediate availability of i3A series non-isolated DC-DC converters
Sager Electronics, is now stocking i3A Series of 100W non-isolated DC-DC converters. TDK-Lambda’s i3A power modules perform local voltage conversion from a 12V, 24V, or well-regulated 48V bus. The i3A series utilizes a low component count that results in both a low cost structure and a high level of performance. The open-frame, compact 1/32nd brick design features […]
Surge current flat-chip resistor sports wide side electrodes
KOA Speer Electronics announces its new WG73 wide terminal type surge current flat chip resistor available in a 1020 package with a 1Watt power rating. The WG73 resistor is superior to KOA’s WK73 series in pulse withstanding voltage. The anti-surge WG73 features a T.C.R. of ±100ppm/°C, a resistance range of 560mΩ ~ 1KΩ, a standard tolerance of […]
