Protection ICs Optimized to Protect Low-Noise-Block Voltage Regulators in Satellite Set-Top-Box Applications
STMicroelectronics has introduced what it says is the world’s first family of devices specifically optimized to protect the Low Noise Block (LNB) voltage regulator in satellite set-top-box applications against lightning and electrical overstress surges. The LNBTVSx-22x range provides 3kV, 4kV and 6kV optimized protection (8/20µs) devices that fully comply with the LNB supply voltage and IEC61000-4-5 protection standards.
RoHS-Compliant DC/DC Input Filter
Power-One has introduced the F4804A input filter. This RoHS-compliant product is designed to minimize the conducted and radiated emissions generated by switch-mode DC-DC converters to facilitate meeting FCC and EN55022 Class B conducted emissions requirements. When compared to previous generation F4804 products, the F4804A offers increased common-mode attenuation, improved elevated-ambient-temperature performance, and a lower-profile package.
Die-Cast Enclosure Family Extended
Hammond Electronics' Eddystone thin wall range of die-cast aluminium enclosures has been extended with the addition of three sizes and a further two reduced height variants of existing plan sizes. The Eddystone range, which is said to provide excellent EMC performance and good mechanical protection for the housed components, now extends to 24 different models ranging in size from 50 x 50 x 25mm to 188 x120 x 82mm.
Hybrid backplane eases migration to CompactPCI Express
Schroff has introduced a new hybrid backplane that has been designed to facilitate the transition from CompactPCI to the new CompactPCI Express standard by combining the two bus architectures on to a single backplane.
High-Voltage IC for Resonant Half-Bridge Topology
STMicroelectronics has introduced an advanced double-ended controller specifically designed for the series-resonant half-bridge topology. The new-generation high-voltage IC is said to guarantee excellent performance, allowing the design of fully protected and highly reliable power supplies that are particularly suited for use in applications such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Plasma Display Panel (PDP) TVs, high-end AC-DC adapters for lapto...
