100W Medical Grade Power Supplies from TRUMPower Feature Compact Footprint
Tumbler Technologies + TRUMPower has introduced the TMC100 series of 100 watts medical grade AC/DC switching power supplies. With dimensions being 2 x 4 x 1.26 inches, power density of this convection-cooled series is as high as 10W/ cubic inch.
Pico-ITX form factor SBC
AXIOMTEK today announced the latest PICO821 Pico-ITX SBC, which supports ultra low power Intel Atom processor Z510 1.10 GHz and Z530 1.60 GHz at 400/533 FSB with the Intel System Controller Hub US15W. The PICO821 is an incredibly small 10 x 7.2 cm embedded board based on Pico-ITX form factor, the world's smallest x86 embedded board. Instead of built-up a full set of I/O connectors soldered onto the board edge, the PICO821 provides internal conn...
Quad Sink/Source Current DAC for Power-Supply Adjustments and Tracking
Maxim has introduced the DS4426, a low-cost, quad sink/source current DAC with tracking control. This device is an I2C-controlled, 7-bit current DAC with four output channels explicitly designed for power-supply margining and adjustment functions. Three of the DAC channels have additional circuitry to provide power-supply sequencing or tracking. Each output channel provides control of a DC-DC power supply by sinking or sourcing current directly i...
