Eval boards check power modules for trimming, sequencing, soft starts and sensing functions
RECOM’s eval boards for the RPM‐1.0, RPM‐2.0, RPM‐3.0, and RPM‐6.0 buck regulator series generate a constant output voltage with an output current up to 6A from an external DC source. The multitude of functions offered by the RPM power modules such as trimming, sequencing, soft‐start, enable, and sensing can be evaluated. More importantly, the behavior […]
Automotive-grade buck-boost ICs ensure stable performance with low current consumption
ROHM today announced the availability of a buck-boost power supply chipset that provides the lowest current consumption in the industry along with stable performance (transient response characteristics) in automotive ECUs (Electronic Control Units) for cluster panels and gateways used in start-stop vehicle systems. The chipset integrates a buck DC/DC converter with boost functionality (BD8P250MUF-C) and a […]
DC-DC converters boost RFPA, GaN-transistor-based applications
Flex Power Modules announces the PKB4216HDPI, the latest model in its series of DC-DC converters aimed at Radio Frequency Power Amplifier (RFPA) applications in the telecom market segment. Following on from the recently introduced 750W PKJ4000 series, the PKB-D is a high-density converter in the industry standard eighth-brick format with an output of 50V at […]
Implementing full digital power control for LDOs
Today’s power supplies require flexible power solutions and more digital control than a decade ago, especially in the server cloud computing market. The days of de-soldering resistors and capacitors to tweak a voltage control loop are long gone. Historically, digital power control started with a single-phase, point-of-load (POL) regulator with PMBus interface. Today, it has […]
Low-profile DOSA converters hit 99% efficiency
New power modules offer one of the highest power densities in a DOSA footprint on the market with a profile of only 3.75 mm. They provide either 1, 2, 3, or even 6 A in the same-sized package for scalability. The 6-A module has at least 50% higher power density than its peers on the […]
Bi-directional synchronous buck-boost controllers
Renesas Electronics announces an innovative new family of bidirectional four-switch synchronous buck-boost controllers. The ISL81601 and ISL81401 are the industry’s only true bidirectional controllers that sense peak current at both ends and provide a cycle-by-cycle current limit in both directions while in buck or boost mode. The controllers generate point-of-load (POL) and voltage rail conversions […]
Chassis-mount DC-DC converters for railway applications get pluggable connectors
Bel Power Solutions announces an extension to the RCM Series, 150 W to 1000 W chassis-mount DC-DC converters, with an optional pluggable connector version. The pluggable connectors are an alternative to the standard cage clamp terminals, that lowers the risk of reverse polarity connection and supports the integration of ready-made cable harnesses during installation, as well […]
