1000W power supply from Lambda
Lambda has extended its HWS family of single output industrial power supplies with the introduction of a powerful 1000W version. Coming with a five-year warranty, the new HWS1000 series is ideal for powering industrial equipment that demands very high reliability and long field-life. Units are available in ten nominal output voltages – 3.3, 5, 6, 7.5, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48 and 60V – and each model can be adjusted locally, using an external pote...
Integrated DC-DC Regulators Simplify Embedded Power Designs Says IR
International Rectifier, has introduced the SupIRBuck family of wide input, single output synchronous buck voltage regulators for high density, high performance data center and consumer applications. The IR38xx SupIRBuck family of point-of-load (POL) voltage regulators integrates IR’s benchmark HEXFET trench technology MOSFETs and a high performance synchronous buck control IC in a compact 5mm by 6mm Power QFN package, shrinking the silicon fo...
IP65 industrial chargers protect batteries during extended charging
Lincoln-based PSU manufacturer VxI Power has introduced a new range of battery chargers that have been designed for use in industrial applications. As well as offering environmental protection to IP65, the BCL series chargers produce a regulated and filtered charging voltage that allows them to be connected to a battery for extended periods without overcharging or damaging the battery.

Ferrite Chip Beads from NIC
The NCB series provides current ratings up to 6 amps in standard EIA case sizes from 0402 to 1812. The NCB-H series is rated for currents up to 5 amps in case sizes from 0603 to 1812. Both series provide high impedance over a wide frequency range and operate in temperatures from minus 40 to +125 degrees Centigrade. They are compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment and can be soldered with either flow or reflow techniques.
Touch sensor controller enhances flexibility for the wide-screens
Zytronic has introduced an enhanced, off-glass controller for its Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT) touch sensor products, to serve a broad selection of LCD aspect ratios including wide-screen displays, while also enhancing system flexibility and extending operating system support.
4 MHz Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter Delivers Up to 1.8A
Linear Technology has announced the LTC3568, a high efficiency, 4MHz, synchronous buck regulator that delivers up to 1.8A of continuous output current from a 3mm x 3mm DFN package. Using a constant frequency and current mode architecture, the LTC3568 operates from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for Li-Ion/Polymer battery inputs as well as 3.3V or 5V inputs for point-of-load applications. It can generate output voltages as...
Low-voltage voice-coil motor driver IC with I2C interface
The new A3904 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is said to be the first in a series of voice-coil motor driver ICs designed for camera auto-focus and zoom applications.
