High-side switches protect and diagnose motor circuits
STMicroelectronics’ IPS8160HQ and IPS8160HQ-1 high-side switches provide eight channels, in a compact QFN48L package, with the added value of built-in protection and diagnostics. This unique combination of features helps save space and enhance reliability in PLC modules used for driving heavy loads and unidirectional motors in vending machines. Further applications include I/O peripherals in factory automation equipment, computer numerical […]
Surface-mount TVS diodes protect power supplies from transients
Littelfuse, Inc. announced the release of its latest product, the LTKAK2-L Series High Power TVS Diodes. This surface mount solution addresses the market demand for automated PCB assembly process-compatible TVS diodes with a high surge rating. By using one LTKAK2-L in place of either four or eight 15KPA or 30KPA axial-leaded TVS diodes, electronics designers […]
Brick power supplies handle 1600 W continuous output
Flex Power Modules introduces a new device to their range of quarter brick non-isolated DC/DC converters that take power densities to new levels. The BMR351 has a 40-60 V input range and delivers a non-isolated but fully regulated output of 12.2 V nominal. The rated output current is 136 A continuous (1600 W max) and […]
Boards let you try power devices in your circuits
Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) has introduced a range of Application Interface Boards that allow designers to try out the company’s rugged, easy-to-use ICeGaN HEMTs in existing circuits in place of competing MOSFET or GaN devices without having to re-layout the PCB. Application Interface Boards are adaptor PCBs that are soldered to an ICeGaN device, which […]
600 V SJ MOSFET boasts RDS(on) of 44 mΩ for EV chargers and servers
Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation announced that the Company has released a new family of 600V Super Junction Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (SJ MOSFETs) consisting of nine distinct products featuring proprietary design technology. Magnachip’s proprietary design provides a specific on-resistance (RSP) reduction of about 10%, and this result was achieved while maintaining the same cell […]
DIN rail dc-dc converters boost control cabinets’ input power
Antaira Technologies launched two DIN Rail mounted DC-DC converters able to boost the 9-36VDC input power typical of control cabinets to a maximum adjustable output of 53VDC and either up to 480 watts (DTD-480-0953-T) or 360 watts (DTD-360-0953-T). Exceptionally rugged and compact, the new DTD power converters are shielded from industrial environments within an IP30 […]
Magnetic shielding line now includes sheets with high permeability for NFC applications
TDK Corporation extends its Flexield family of magnetic shielding materials with the introduction of the IFQ06, offering high permeability (μ’) and low magnetic loss (μ”) designed for near-field communications (NFC) applications. The IFQ06 material provides highly effective protection against performance-reducing design features that can complicate NFC designs, such as metal objects directly behind the antenna. […]
SiC modules feature two high-current MOSFET drivers
Solitron Devices announces the introduction of the SD11911 and SD11912 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Modules. Both modules feature two independent, high-current MOSFETs. Solitron power modules maximize the benefits of SiC, with a unique robust, and cost-effective packaging format. The 37mm x 25mm x 9mm outline is a fraction of the size and weight of […]
