A better way to handle DC-DC converter hold-up times
Converters with built-in holdup circuitry reduce the size and requirements for input capacitors. Dr. André Buffing, L. Dinkelmann, Traco Power DC/DC converters are generally designed to maintain their output despite brief interruptions of their input power. The duration of this output hold-up often is set by the value of an external capacitor connected across the […]
1-W power modules integrate switching, control, transformer, input/output capacitors
Würth Elektronik has extended the product families of its MagI³C power modules with the MagI³C-FIMM Fixed Isolated MicroModule. It combines the features of an isolated power module with those of a MicroModule in an LGA-7 package and measures just 9 mm x 7 mm x 3.1 mm. The isolation capacitance between the primary and secondary windings […]
