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...

Linear Technology has introduced the LT6402 and LT6411, two new differential amplifiers suitable as high-speed ADC drivers, twisted-pair line drivers and single-ended to differential signal converters. These new products utilize a novel design topology to integrate precision gain-setting resistors on-chip. In addition to simplifying system design and reducing external component count, these devices optimize distortion power and noise performance,...
