Battery management IC improves charge and fuel gauge accuracy
Analog Devices, Inc. announced the MAX17330 battery management integrated circuit (IC) with integrated fuel gauge and advanced battery protection for one-cell lithium-ion/polymer batteries that delivers a longer battery runtime for consumer applications than similar products. The new IC expands ADI’s battery management portfolio, which already delivers accuracy for the automotive and industrial markets that are […]
Improvements in stacked load architectures
Stacked-load schemes have made power conversion more economical in server racks. New developments in this technology promise to provide additional gains in efficiency. Laszlo Lipcsei, Alexandr Ikriannikov, Di Yao — Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices Load currents continue to rise in server applications while rail voltages tend to drop. Consequently, the conduction losses […]
Micropower management unit provides three isolated rails
The ADP1031 is a high performance, isolated micropower management unit (PMU) that combines an isolated flyback dc-to-dc regulator, an inverting dc-to-dc regulator, and a buck dc-to-dc regulator, providing three isolated power rails. Additionally, the ADP1031 contains four, high speed, serial peripheral interface (SPI) isolation channels and three general-purpose isolators for channel-to-channel applications where low power […]
High-efficiency surge stopper protects against 150-V transients
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7862, a high efficiency switching surge stopper with overvoltage and overcurrent protection for high availability systems. The LTC7862 drives an N-channel power MOSFET stage. During normal operation the LTC7862 passes the input voltage through to the output with minimal conduction loss. When an input overvoltage condition occurs, the LTC7862 starts […]
