With the new types, TDK's lineup of X8L and X8R MLCCs features an unrivalled high capacitance range of up to 22 µF.

TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of the five-year warranty EVS series of constant current power supplies. Two power levels are offered; a fan cooled 600W and a convection cooled 300W. These compact power supplies are suitable for water purification systems or to charge batteries for energy storage.

A range of 40A Point of Load (POL) non-isolated DC/DC converters, the iAH series, has been announced by TDK Corporation. Measuring 10.2mm high with a 33x13.5mm footprint, the iAH demonstrates an increase in output current of 100% compared to TDK-Lambda’s similarly sized iAF series. 

Featuring a maximum DC resistance of 62mΩ - 30% lower than for existing types (e.g. TFM160808ALM, 0.47-μH), TDK Corporation has introduced the TFM160808ALC thin-film inductor for power supply circuits. The new type, whose compact dimensions are 1.6x0.8x0.8mm, also offers a high rated current of 2.6A and an inductance of 0.47μH.

  A new series of robust EPCOS MKP X2 capacitors for EMI suppression has been presented by TDK Corporation. Compared with conventional X2 capacitors designed for rated voltages of 305VAC, these components offer a higher rated voltage of 350VAC. 

TDK Corporation and InvenSense have entered into a definitive agreement wherein TDK agrees to acquire all of the outstanding InvenSense shares for cash at an acquisition price of $13.00 per InvenSense share, for a total acquisition price of $1.3bn. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies. 

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the DRL series of 10 to 100W DIN rail mount AC/DC power supplies with efficiencies of up to 90%. Featuring a low profile and very narrow width, the units are ideally suited for wall mounted enclosures commonly used in building automation and security applications.

These converters are suitable for use in a large number of applications, including communications, industrial control, test and measurement, broadcast and portable battery powered equipment.

Characterised by high levels of power density and integration, automotive electronics and highly integrated power electronic systems are increasingly being positioned in direct proximity to combustion engines. As a result the electronic components are subjected to significant combined electrical, thermal and mechanical loads.

The need for ESD protection in smartphones and automotive electronics is being driven by the demand for increased safety and reliability and to take the size of devices even smaller. CeraPad is the development from TDK Corporation, presented at electronica, an ultra-thin ceramic substrate that features integrated ESD protection within its multilayer structure and eliminates the need for discrete ESD components.
