Vicor has announced the addition of eight mid-power Mini DC-DC converters to the 375 Vdc input family: a 100 W model at 3.3 Vout; 150 W model at 5 Vout; and 200 W models at 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, and 48 Vout. These half-brick modules — which incorporate Vicor’s patented low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) —can be used in a variety of applications, including off-line systems with autoranging or PFC front ends, indust...

Vicor has announced the availability of a high-voltage V•I Chip bus converter with a power density of greater than 1000 W/in3. Designated B384F120T30, this BCM module is a high-efficiency (>95%), Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC) operating from a 360-400Vdc primary bus to deliver an isolated low voltage secondary.

Linear Technology has announced the LT3012 and LT3013, micropower LDOs with input voltage capability up to 80V. The LT3012 and LT3013 feature low dropout voltage of only 400mV while delivering up to 250mA of load current. The wide adjustable VOUT capability from 1.24V to 60V makes them ideal for automotive, 48V telecom backup supplies and industrial control applications. Additionally, their very low quiescent current as low as 40uA (operating) an...

SynQor has announced the release of a range of isolated Quarter Brick DC/DC converters to address industrial, medical and telecom applications running from a 12V and/or 24V bus (operating range is 9-36V). Single output voltages offered range from 1.8V to 48V (with nine different models available), and are capable of supplying up to 40A or 100W of usable power.

SL Power Electronics Corp. announces a new family of 70W external switch-mode power supplies. The Ault PW174 series is single output with a power range of 40 to 70W, available in seven voltage models. “The Ault PW174 fits a popular power range for a broad spectrum of ITE applications in the communications, networking, industrial, instrumentation and computer peripheral market segments,” said Nigel Davies, Managing Director, Europe, SL...

Texas Instruments has introduced a 24-bit audio codec that supports asynchronous operation, allowing the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to operate with independent clocks. In applications such as DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD recorders, digital televisions, digital set-top boxes and car navigation systems, audio signals often need to be decoded and encoded at separate sampling rates, which drives the need for an asyn...

Semtech has announced two new additions to its RailClamp family of low capacitance protection devices that provide system designers a new option for adding critical power protection to high-speed lines without the high clamping voltage and high capacitance limitations of competing solutions. RClamp1502B and RClamp2402B are designed with an ultra-low capacitance of 0.6pF to protect high-speed data lines without signal attenuation. The devices al...

With its small form factor and features that include memory back-up, RS-422/485 interfaces with auto-flow control and ±15 KV ESD protected and Isolation the Nexcom 3200 Fanless Embedded System has been specifically designed for use within factory environments. With two built-in Ethernet network ports and sufficient processing power, the 3200 is able to communicate with multiple networks and execute numerous applications to control devises within...

STMicroelectronics today introduced a new high-precision op-amp that benefits customers with an ultra-low input offset voltage guaranteed over a wide common-mode voltage range. This feature, added to the highly competitive cost of the TS507, makes it the ideal solution for automotive and industrial applications.

Laird Technologies today introduces its decorative metals technology. Metal stamping is a core Laird Technologies’ competency and the decorative metals technology is drawing from that. This technology, along with the company’s core competencies, allows the company to be a single source supplier for all types of precision metal stampings saving customers time and money.
