Keysight Technologies announced a new add-on to PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) that enables designers to perform pre-compliance testing on virtual prototypes of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) designs. This new capability saves the time and cost of iterative build and test of physical prototypes. Demand for SMPS is driven by the need for greater efficiency, increased power […]
Web simulation tool checks out power devices and ICs
Rohm announces a web simulation tool, “ROHM Solution Simulator”, that allows designers of electronic circuits and systems in the automotive and industrial markets to simultaneously verify power devices and ICs on 44 different solution circuits. Simulations are typically conducted before the prototype stage in order to reduce development load not only in the automotive and […]
Pulsed laser diode demo board targets flash Lidar apps
EPC announces the availability of the EPC9144, a 15 V, 28 A high current pulsed laser diode driver demonstration board. In time-of-flight systems, speed and accuracy of object detection is critical. As demonstrated on this board, the rapid transition capability of the AEC Q101-qualified EPC2216 provides power pulses to drive laser diodes, VCSELs or LEDs […]
AC adapter reference design handles 300 W with GaN HEMTs
GaN Systems and ON Semiconductor announced the availability of the world’s highest power density 300 watt AC Adapter Reference Design using GaN Systems’ 650 V, 15 A GaN E-HEMTs and multiple ON Semiconductor controller and driver ICs: NCP51820, NCP13992, NCP1616, and NCP4306. This complete system reference design is highly versatile and low cost, allowing designers to easily develop and bring to […]
SMU optimized for testing SiC, GaN power devices
The Keithley 2470 SourceMeter Source Measure Unit can test materials and devices up to 1,100 V and measure low current with 10 fA resolution. It includes a 5-in. capacitive touch display with the full touch experience to make testing intuitive and minimize the learning curve. The 2470 is optimized for characterizing and testing a broad […]
Achtung! Power technology on display at PCIM Nuremberg
PCIM Europe is billed as the world’s leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management. Recently wrapping up in Nuremberg, the exhibition portion of PCIM featured over 500 booths. Here are some of the more notable technology displays we saw in touring the event. NEXT PAGE: Smaller inverters for […]
Online tool helps simplify motor control designs based on STM32, STM8 MCUs
ST-MC-SUITE from STMicroelectronics is the entry point for easy access to all resources for motor-control application development with STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. The tool lets users gather tutorials and documentation, store project setups (HW and SW), get links to download software solutions including the newly updated X-CUBE-MCSDK package, and buy evaluation hardware online. Intuitive features include the choice of a […]
Review: Examining power and energy use with the Joulescope
The Joulescope is an inexpensive test instrument designed to let developers of embedded systems get a good look at the energy and power consumption of their hardware during important events such as interrupts and wake-up sequences. Developed by a company called Jetperch, Joulescopes are about to become available through a Kickstarter campaign launching Feb. 19. […]

Reference design for galvanically-isolated CAN transceiver
The R-REF03-CAN1 Reference Board demonstrates the ISO1042 isolated CAN transceiver supplied by the R1SX-3.305/H isolated dc/dc converter. To supply the reference board only one 3.3-V external supply is required. The green LED indicates the presence of the VCC2 supply on the secondary (CAN bus) side. The reference board allows designers to quickly develop and analyze […]
