Schaefer has announced the launch of its new Power Conversion Products Website. The updated site, www.schaeferpower.com has easy to use menu bars which link to all of Schaefer’s thousands of ac/dc power supplies, dc/dc converters, battery chargers, dc/ac pure sine wave inverters and other power conversion products.

Fairchild Semiconductor has announced the FPF250X series, a new family of its IntelliMAX devices with input voltages ranging from 4.5 up to 20V. These highly integrated load switches provide full protection against potentially damaging overcurrent conditions affecting low-power designs including industrial, telecom, medical, notebook and consumer applications. The FPF250X devices simplify design, reduce component count and minimize board space by...

AnalogicTech’s AAT1162 DC/DC converter’s low quiescent current significantly lowers the system’s total stand-by mode current consumption, thereby improving total power efficiency and enabling designers to more easily achieve green certifications. The AAT1162 is the first in a family of synchronous step-down DC/DC converters designed to operate from a 12V input and deliver up to 1.5A to 5V or lower outputs. Consuming an extremely low 115µA ...

Tektronix has announced that it has successfully validated the performance of the new Intel 100 meter Infiniband cable operating at speeds up to 20 Gb/s. The world’s longest InfiniBand optical cable has an electrical interface on either end and uses four serial data lanes at 5 Gb/s each. The cable will be useful in accelerating the performance of large computing clusters. The cables will be used as the part of the backbone network at the Int...

PULS announces the introduction of a new low cost product range. The CS Series is based on the market leading Dimension QS product range but with a much reduced feature-set, which enables very competitive pricing. These single-phase power supplies continue to demonstrate PULS’s design excellence and reliability, while being priced to compete directly with low cost imports from the Far East.

Powerstax has announced a family of ultra-compact 275W switch mode power supplies. The N-0275 series units feature digital power management and optional PMBus™ capability. The N-0275 family has been designed for OEM applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems and network servers. The compact, very low profile form-factor power supplies deliver 12.22 watts per inch³ power de...

Available from Lorlin Electronics, the UK’s longest established switch manufacturer, is the SRL-10 miniature lock-switch. Capable of switching 10A loads at 250VAC this very compact switch may be used in security applications such as limiting access to air-conditioning systems at rented properties and hotels, switching of solenoid valves in industrial process control applications, security door entry systems, burglar and fire alarm systems and m...

Keithley Instruments has announced its Model 2100 6½-Digit USB Digital Multimeter (DMM), a high precision, low-cost USB-based instrument. The Model 2100 is ideal for a wide range of production test, burn-in, and manual and semi-automatic research and development applications in bench, portable, or small system measurement configurations. The Model 2100 is being offered for a limited-time introductory price of only EUR 595.

Texas Instruments has introduced a single-channel version of its TPS40KT stackable controller family that transforms power supplies in data centers and telecommunications equipment into fully scalable, interleaved power systems with higher performance and design flexibility. TI's TPS40180 synchronous, DC/DC controller allows a system designer to connect or stack together multiple power modules, resulting in a high-density power supply that suppor...

New TPM series multi-anode “mirror” configuration multianode tantalum capacitors have been developed by AVX, delivering reduced height, lower self inductance and lower Equivalent Series Resistance. The new symmetrical design reduces ESL to 1nH – half that of standard D case sized devices. Low ESL enables a higher resonant frequency up to 500kHz (mirror D case), delivering more efficient filtering in DC/DC power switching convert...
