Powersolve announces a high efficiency 80 to150W AC-DC supply that features both commercial and medical safety approvals. The new LPS100-M power supply series from Emerson Network Power comprises compact open-frame designs measuring just 2 x 4in with a height of just 1.29 inches. The units have a typical full load efficiency of 88% and a power density in excess of 14 watts/in³.

Sundance has announced that is has extended its partnership with Cadre Codesign, a specialist provider of IP and embedded FPGA design solutions, to deliver Cadre’s CT-JPEG04 core across a range of it’s modular DSP FPGA multiprocessor hardware solutions. Based on the JPEG ISO/IEC IS 110918-1 standard image-compression algorithm, the core compresses images of 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution at a rate of 500 frames/sec and can sustain an input of...

The XC9515 Series from Torex Semiconductor is a dual channel synchronous step-down DC-DC converter plus a voltage detector with delay circuit built-in. This series is available in the compact QFN-20 package and is suitable for a variety of applications, including DVD and Blu-ray equipment, LCD TVs and modules, multifunctional printers and set top boxes.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced a 20-V n-channel power MOSFET plus Schottky diode. Featuring the 1.6-mm by 1.6-mm thermally enhanced PowerPAK SC-75 package, the SiB800EDK combines a Schottky diode with a low forward voltage of 0.32 V at 100 mA and a MOSFET with on-resistance ratings specified at gate drives down to 1.5 V.

The TR3M has been developed by the team of wireless communications experts at Radiometrix. It is high-end multi-channel narrowband transceiver that operates in the European 868MHz band (though custom variants for any 3MHz frequency block from 860-870MHz are available on request). It supports data rates of up to 5kbits/s, and has a usable range of over 500m. Employing a 1200baud dumb modem it allows transmission across 80 different channels.

Epson Toyocom has succeeded in commercially developing an extremely thin kHz-band crystal unit. The new tuning-fork crystal unit, called the FC-13E, has a maximum thickness of just 0.48 mm.

New CJT series resistors from Tyco Electronics feature high IP ratings of IP33 up to IP54, making the devices superior to conventional ceramic resistors when used in harsh environments. Benefiting from easy airtight fitting and the ability to fit a heatsink, the resistors are ideal for inverter braking, as well as loading and charging circuits in harsh environmental conditions.

Renesas Technology Europe has announced the R2J20651NP Integrated Driver-MOSFET. Available in a 40-pin QFN 6 mm x 6 mm package, the device is designed for use in the CPU and DDR type SDRAM power supplies used in PCs and servers and achieves, what is believed to be, the industry’s highest power supply efficiency of 96.5% at Vin = 5 V, Vout = 1.8 V.

Following the release of the world’s first microcontroller (MCU) with four-channel constant-current drive for LED lighting systems, NEC Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723) this month began shipment of 14 new 8-bit All Flash MCUs for energy-efficient lighting applications.

Microchip has announced a family of serial EEPROM devices with built-in EUI-48 and EUI-64 compatible MAC addresses. Designed to work on standard buses, such as SPI, I2C and the UNI/O bus, the devices provide easy and inexpensive access to MAC addresses and feature up to 1.5Kbit of EEPROM that can be used for storing configuration and user settings, or as a scratch-pad area for buffering small amounts of data.
