Ideal for point-of-load use, surface-mount DC/DC converters in the new CE-1050 range from Lambda feature the exceptionally wide input voltage range of +9.0 to +26.4V. By directly accepting nominal 24V inputs, rather than the maximum of 12V normally associated with devices of this type, the new converters simplify power supply system design and reduce costs in a wide range of applications.

Lambda has launched a new version of its popular FPS1000 front end power supply with a nominal output voltage of 12V , ideal for driving non-isolated point of load dc-dc converters directly in systems utilising a distributed power architecture without the need for intermediate bus conversion.

Power supply expert Lambda has added new, competitively priced 300-watt models to its popular PFE range of AC-DC low-profile full-brick power supplies. Like the existing 500-watt and 700-watt models in the range, the new 300-watt versions provide a convenient and compact all-in-one solution for applications that would previously have required the use of a full size brick AC to HVDC front-end module and a separate full-brick DC- DC converter.

Nu Horizons Electronics announce the initial models of the XL275 Series from N2 Power, a family of very compact, 275-watt ac-dc power supplies that features digital power management and optional PMBus-capability. The XL275 Series delivers 275 Watts from a 96 sq.cm (15 sq. in.) footprint. Very low profile packaging yields 12.22 Watts per cubic inch power density. The XL275 family is expressly designed for OEM applications such as industrial automa...

The new A3989 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a high-efficiency motor driver IC designed to drive one bipolar stepper motor at up to 1.2 A and one DC motor at up to 2.4 A. The A3989 is designed for applications, typically found in office automation, automated handling equipment and gaming machines, that incorporate one DC motor and one stepper motor. The integration of two motor drivers in one compact package makes the A3989 more cost effect...

SynQor today announces the release of the IQ72xxxQTA series of 72V input Quarter Brick DC/DC Converters, targeting Railway & Transportation Applications to compliment other recently announced 110V devices for this market place.

Microchip announces the MCP1401 and MCP1402 (MCP140X) single-output MOSFET drivers. The inverting MCP1401 and non-inverting MCP1402 MOSFET drivers are rated for a peak output current of 0.5A, over a wide operating voltage range of 4.5V – 18V. They have excellent latch-up immunity and are available in miniature, 2 x 3 mm DFN and 5-pin SOT-23 packages.

Lambda UK has extended its popular NV-Power family of configurable AC-DC power supplies to include a new range of models designed specifically with medical applications in mind. With 4kVac, reinforced input to output isolation, the units meet the rigorous IEC60601 international safety standard for medical equipment, making them suitable for use in medical devices including patient connected applications.

High output capacity, extensive options for local and remote control, compact construction and very competitive pricing are the major features of the new programmable 3U power supplies in the Genesys™ range from Lambda. These make the supplies an ideal choice for applications such as electroplating, semiconductor manufacture and use with industrial lasers, where dependable and controllable high-power DC sources are needed.

Linear Technology has announced the LT3003, a LED ballaster that drives three separate strings of LEDs with 3% accurate current matching, delivering uniform LED brightness. The LT3003 is capable of driving up to 24 LEDs at 350mA each, three strings of 8 LEDs each, making it ideal for backlighting a wide variety of TFT-LCDs and heads-up display applications. The LT3003 operates in boost mode, Buck mode and Buck-Boost mode, enabling operation in ma...
