AC/DC medical power supplies offer up to 95% efficiency
The new wide input range, single output PQC series of industrial/medical power supplies has been announced by Murata Power Solutions. Rated at 250W of output power, and packaged in an industry-standard open frame 3x5”, 1U footprint, this high-efficiency design can deliver its full output using convection cooling when operating in temperatures up to 50°C.
Datacomms integrated devices save space and design time
Two data communications (datacomms) devices, the NM485D6S5MC and NMTTLD6S5MC, are isolated and include power outputs in one, compact module, saving space and design time, says Murata Power Solutions.
Data communication devices isolated and include power outputs
Two new low power electrically isolated data communication devices, NM485D6S5MC and NMTTLD6S5MC have been announced by Murata Power Solutions, to provide RS485 or TTL interfaces with isolated power. No external components are needed; a single 5V supply allows function on either side of the isolation boundary. With the combination of isolated data communication and power in a single module, the devices save space and design time.
Helping to improve NFC performance
The latest LQM18JN series of chip inductors from Murata have been developed for near field communication (NFC) applications. The devices can overcome the inherent problems associated with previous NFC designs to offer a better, more consistent performance.
Safety capacitors are X and Y rated for arduous mains duties
