Newark has enhanced its semiconductor portfolio with a new range of compact, highly energy-efficient power, motion control, and sensor solutions by Monolithic Power Systems (MPS). Since the company was established in 1997, MPS has patented many ground-breaking technologies, including its most notable achievement of integrating an entire power system onto a single chip, which continues […]
Modules down-convert 48 V to handle 12-V loads
Vicor’s new DCM3717 enables customers in data center, automotive and industrial markets to quickly deploy high-performance 48V power delivery for legacy 12V loads while achieving significant power-system size, weight and efficiency benefits. The DCM3717 operates from a 40 – 60V SELV input, is non-isolated, and provides a regulated output with a range of 10.0 – […]
Power module achieves 98 percent efficiency with GaN FETS
Transphorm Inc. today confirmed that Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric Co., Ltd (HZZH) has developed an ultra-efficient, GaN-based power module. The 3 kW ZHR483KS uses Transphorm’s GaN devices to reach 98 percent efficiency, making it the telecommunications industry’s most efficient GaN-powered module to date. Original design manufacturers (ODMs) can swap the ZHR483KS—which offers standardized output connector configurations—with existing same-wattage power modules […]
Tiny 36-V, 4-A power module comes in a QFN package
Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s smallest 36-V, 4-A power module in a quad flat no-lead (QFN) package. The TPSM53604 DC/DC buck module’s 5-mm-by-5.5-mm footprint enables engineers to shrink the size of their power supply by 30% while reducing power loss by 50% when compared to similar competing modules. The new power module comes with a […]
