5 x 5 mm motor controller operates from 12 V automotive supply
TDK Corporation has expanded its Micronas HVC 5x embedded motor controller family with the HVC 5481G for automotive applications. The new HVC 5481G functions as a programmable gate driver system-on-chip (SoC) designed to control an external power bridge with 6 N-channel FETs for driving actuators, fans, and pumps. Samples of the HVC 5481G are currently […]
MLCCs support 48 V systems with reduced component count and area
TDK Corporation has expanded its CGA series for automotive multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to 10 µF at 100 V in 3225 size (3.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 mm – L x W x H), with X7R characteristics (Class Ⅱ dielectric). This is the industry’s highest capacitance* for a 100-V rated product in 3225 size and […]
Module features 96 – 98% efficiency in compact package
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand DUSH series in a compact DIN rail mount package. The DUSH series provides backup power in the event of a power loss. It builds the heart of the DC-UPS system and connects the power supply, load, and battery. Under normal conditions, the load is powered by […]
500 V SMT transformers shrink in size
TDK has announced the EPCOS EP9 series of surface-mount transformers (ordering code B82804E). At 13 × 11 × 11 mm, these parts are smaller than the company’s existing E10EM series of SMT transformers designed for IGBT and FET gate driver circuits. Engineered for high performance in demanding e-mobility and industrial applications with 500 V system […]
Micro power converters integrate i²c telemetry in 1.35 mm height profile
TDK Corporation announces the new FS160* series of its microPOL (μPOL) power modules. The FS160* series of μPOL DC-DC converters all offer full telemetry, provide increased performance, and are remarkable for extraordinary power density in the smallest sizes now in mass production. All FS160* microPOL modules measure a mere 3.3 mm wide by 3.3 mm […]
X1 capacitors reduce automotive EMI
TDK Corporation announces the X1 capacitors of the EPCOS B3291xH/J4 series for power line filtering of electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in demanding automotive and industrial applications with a rated AC voltage of up to 480 V. Applications that are exposed to harsh climatic conditions such as PV inverters and EV onboard chargers (OBCs) can benefit from […]
Inductors support power over coax
TDK Corporation announces the expansion of the ADL4532VK series (4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2 mm; L x W x T) of wire winding inductors for automotive power-over-coax (PoC). Mass production of these new components began in February 2025. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are designed to enhance vehicle safety by using automotive cameras and sensors that […]
MLCCs support SiC-based power conversion systems
TDK Corporation has expanded its CGA series for automotive applications and C series for commercial multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to include a 10 nF variant rated at 1,250 V in a 3225 package (3.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 mm). These capacitors feature C0G characteristics, a Class I dielectric known for minimal capacitance variation across temperature […]
SMD common-mode chokes filter noise in high currents
TDK Corporation launches the EPCOS SurfIND series, a new range of current-compensated ring core double chokes for high currents and surface mounting (ordering code: B82725S2*A/B). With SurfIND, customers who prefer reflow soldering (e.g. sandwich packages in telecom equipment, industrial drives, etc.) but need high-current common-mode chokes (usually large and heavy) can now get an SMD […]
