Linear Technology has introduced the LT3740, a high output power step-down synchronous controller that operates from very low input voltages without needing an auxiliary 5V gate drive supply. In addition to a DC/DC step-down controller, the LT3740 integrates a DC/DC step-up converter for generating its own MOSFET gate drive voltage. This function permits the use of inexpensive off-the-shelf 5V gate-drive N-channel MOSFETs, offering up to 3% highe...

Cropico has published a new 52-page full colour catalogue providing full information on the company’s range of advanced technology precision measurement instruments. Cropico’s high quality reputation goes back over 50 years and the company’s range includes a wide range of resistance and temperature measurement solutions.

Aeroflex has announced the introduction of the new 3920 Digital Radio Test Set for TETRA and P25. The 3920 features new enhancements that provide test professionals with more test capabilities integrated into one system, as well as extended analysis range and file management functions. The next generation of the Aeroflex 3900 Series, the 3920 replaces the 3901 and 3902 Radio Test Sets. While providing new features and functions, the 3920 conti...

Cambridge Consultants has become the first authorized design centre for picoChip's multi-core digital signal processor (DSP), picoArray. picoArray devices incorporate arrays of DSP elements, delivering extremely high performance. This makes them ideal for the computationally-intensive tasks involved in advanced wireless signal processing, while also providing adaptability that can be employed to accommodate operational problems such as varying ch...

Intepro Systems has announced the availability of its new power semiconductor test system, SEMTest. SEMTest is a user configurable stress-screening system able to perform accelerated lifetime testing of power semiconductors and modules incorporating IGBT, MOSFET, SCR, diode and bipolar parts. The system is ideal for both manufacturers and users of power semiconductors who want to qualify commercial off the shelf devices for use in high reliabilit...

Densitron Display Solutions has entered into an exclusive partnership with LoGi Engineering PTE Ltd, a plastics engineering company with facilities in Malaysia and Singapore, to offer plastic enclosures as part of its complete solutions service.

SL Power Electronics Corp has announced extensions to its Ault family of external switch-mode power supplies designed to meet the requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program. The product family now extends from 6 to 70W with outputs from 5 to 48VDC. Designed to meet the needs of the medical systems industry as well as applications in communications, industrial, computer/computer peripherals and test a...

Texas Instruments has introduced a flexible, synchronous buck controller that simplifies power management design of LCD TVs and IP set-top boxes that use digital signal processors (DSPs) and FPGAs. TI's new TPS40195 high-performance controller provides several features to enhance the power performance of a 4.5-V to 20-V system. For instance, the device uses the input voltage available for power conversion as its bias supply, eliminating the need ...

Intersil has introduced the ISL21400 digitally programmable tempco voltage reference as part of the newly formed pinPOINT family of precision analogue products. The product allows users to digitally set the temperature slope and DC voltage of its output to accurately compensate for temperature drifts elsewhere in the system.

Texas Instruments has introduced a device based on a high-frequency synchronous-boost topology with constant current sink to drive single, high-brightness white light emitting diodes (LEDs). The tiny 2 mm x 1.5 mm x 0.625mm device uses an inductive fixed-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme using small external components, minimizing input ripple current for applications, such as a white LED flash for camera phones, smart phones ...
