High-power offline buck converter ICs target mass-market appliances
Power Integrations announced a new member of its acclaimed LinkSwitch-TN2 AC-DC converter family. The new LNK3207 ICs facilitate higher-power offline buck converter designs for appliances and industrial applications by increasing the available output current from 360 mA to 575 mA, while also reducing BOM count. The LNK3207 AC-DC converter ICs increase the available current by 60% while also delivering […]
Synchronous dc-dc converters boast super-wide input range, reduction in component count
The MAX17577 and MAX17578 from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. are the industry’s smallest, highest-efficiency synchronous inverting DC-DC step-down converters. As Maxim’s first 60V inverting DC-DC converters with integrated level shifters, these devices save up to 72 percent of board space by reducing the component count by half while using 35 percent less energy than the closest competitive solutions. […]
Boost converter, LDO ICs feature supe-low quiescent currents
Designers can now extend battery life and reduce the solution size of consumer, industrial, healthcare, and IoT systems with three new Essential Analog ICs from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. The MAX17227A 2A nano power boost converter, the MAX17291 high voltage, 1A boost converter, and the MAX38911 500mA LDO all provide the lowest quiescent current among competitive solutions to […]
Power and data adapter meets IEEE 802.3bt PoE-to-USB Type-C spec
There are many consumer, enterprise, and industrial devices today that have a USB Type-C port as the only input power option. While USB-C technology can offer high power and high data rate, it limits the range of the installation to a maximum of three meters from an AC outlet. As Power over Ethernet (PoE) becomes […]
Power analysis software analyzes IoT power consumption down to subsystem level
Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced X8712A software, the KS833A2A Event-based Power Analysis software, which enables these engineers to analyze an IoT device’s power consumption and delivers an accurate view of how the IoT device behaves to the subsystem level, as well as its charge consumption profile. It offers an easy-to-use visualization tool, via the company’s PathWave software, […]
Universal energy harvesting/power management module targets IoT devices
The EHM-UNIV from Xidas is a small surface-mount energy harvesting and power management module that eliminates the need for engineers to purchase energy harvesting evaluation modules and determine how to engineer power management ICs into their application. Xidas has spent over two years working in partnership with the US National Science Foundation (NSF) to address […]
Hybrid lithium-ion supercaps deliver up to 220 F at 3.8 V
Cornell Dubilier Electronics introduces two new series of Hybrid LIC Supercapacitors in response to the growing need for ultra-high capacitance values at higher operating voltages. The new VMF and VPF Series operate at 3.8 WVDC with capacitance values up to 220 Farads. The higher voltage results in increased energy density. With nearly eight times the energy density and a […]
Isolated 6/10-w dc-dc converters sport 4:1 input range
CUI Inc announced the addition of two new EN 62368-1 certified, compact, regulated converter series to its compact isolated dc-dc converters line. The PQQ6W-S and the PQQ10W-S both offer cost-effective solutions for a wide range of applications, including IoT, consumer, industrial and telecom, and data communications. The PQQ6W-S provides up to 6 W of continuous […]
Flexible organic solar cells are optimized for indoor light spectrum
A small, thin and flexible light cell, printed on recyclable plastic, has been optimized for the light spectrum found indoors. Designed by Epishine in Sweden, the light cells are designed to be used instead of batteries on wireless sensors and similar devices. The cells have a power density of 18 μW/cm2 and have a 1 […]
