SynQor has announced a range of Quarter Brick sized DC/DC converters to address Industrial Applications running from a 12V bus (operating range is 9-22V). 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. Housed in the industry standard 2.30 x 1.45in Quarter Brick footprint and pinout, the IQ12xxxQTAxx family of devices are available as ope...

The latest electronically controlled DC loads from Zentro Elektrik have an output power up to 250 or 500W. They are built using the latest MOS technology and at 0.35 VDC to 160 VDC they offer a wide range of load voltage. As a result, they can be used in a variety of applications from fuel cells to use on test benches.

Power-One has introduced the 25A YV12T25 POL converter. This robustly-designed programmable product delivers 0.8 to 5.5VDC from a 10 to 14VDC input, eliminating the need for multiple host-system circuit-pack designs, and reducing the number of part numbers needed in inventory for board-level point-of-load applications. Efficiencies exceeding 94%, combined with advanced thermal management techniques, facilitate operation over a -40°C to 85°...

XP Energy Systems Ltd announces a key addition to its industry leading range of uninterruptible power supply systems designed for use in a variety of applications where constant, reliable power is an essential requirement. The Xi1500L CE is the latest model to join XP Energy Systems’ established Xi Series which includes models rated from 1 to 6kVA. Like other models in the Series, the new power system can be rack mounted, free standing or stac...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4096/X standalone dual-input linear battery chargers. These devices charge single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer batteries from wall adapter or USB power sources. The LTC4096/X use a constant-current/constant-voltage algorithm for charging, with programmable charge current up to 1.2A from a wall adapter supply or up to 1A from a USB supply while automatically sensing the presence of voltage at each input. Applications...

Power Sources Unlimited has released a product line of desktop power adapters that are in compliance with California Energy Commission Tier 2 criteria and Energy Star Level IV standards for external switching power supplies. These two standards are the more stringent efficiency and no-load power consumption requirements which are due to go into effect on July 1, 2008.

Texas Instruments has introduced an automotive-qualified DC/DC power management integrated circuit (IC) that switches autonomously between buck and boost modes to provide a constant regulated output voltage of 5 V. The TPIC74100-Q1 operates over a wide input voltage range of 1.5 V to 40 V and simplifies design by eliminating the need for external components.

PULS has announced the introduction of the latest model in its Dimension Q series. The QS20.241 provides 24VDC at 20A from a 85-276V wide range AC single-phase input and is 1/3 the size of other comparable DIN-rail power supplies. The QS20.241 offers market-leading performance through innovative design using synchronous rectification topology and digital control to not only reduce the size of the unit but offers efficiencies up to 93.9%, signific...

SL Power Electronics Corporation, the company established following the merger of Condor DC Power and Ault, announces the introduction of its PW152 external power family that meets the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program, as well as European and Asian global energy efficiency initiatives.

Linear Technology has announced the LT3506 and LT3506A, dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converters with two 2A power switches packaged in a 16-lead 5mm x 4mm DFN package. Each channel is capable of delivering up to 1.6A of output current. Their wide input range of 3.6V to 25V makes them ideal for regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including four cell batteries, 5V and 12V rails, unregulated wall transformers, lead acid batteri...
