HiTek Power has introduced a dual 5kV/60kV rack-mounted power supply for ion implantation applications. This approach keeps costs low while meeting the demanding requirements of ion implanter manufacturers in the US and Japan. For example, the system offers superior ripple and noise performance at output levels below 5kV, together with a full range of remote monitoring and control functions.

SL Power Electronics Corporation, the company established following the merger of Condor DC Power and Ault, announces the introduction of its next-generation single port power source for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications with 10baseT and 100baseT systems.

Semtech has announced the SC194B, a highly integrated 1A DC-DC step-down (buck) regulator with the small size and output flexibility needed for portable device applications. It has an input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V with a focus on portable applications that use Li-ion batteries. It is a sister part to the recently announced SC194A, which is feature compatible but offers outputs between 1V and 1.8V.

By combining a high current charge pump, backlight/keypad drivers, a high output flash driver, and two general purpose LDOs in a single 4x4mm package, and by retaining independent control of the backlight/keypad and flash functions, AnalogicTech’s AAT2842 offers portable system product developers an attractive way to lower parts count, lower the system BOM cost, and build more compact systems without compromising their design flexibility or cir...

UR has introduced the RFF series of isolated full-brick converters, manufactured by Artesyn Technologies and suitable for use with RF (radio frequency) power amplifiers. The new RFF series of converters comprises five 28V output models, offering a choice of two input voltage ranges and three output current ratings for optimum application flexibility. The range-topping RFF700 model is capable of delivering 25A at 28V (700W), yielding a power...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the first member of a new power MOSFET family. The new family allows customers to drastically reduce conduction losses and increase efficiency and reliability of their lighting applications by achieving very low ON-resistance and excellent dynamic and avalanche characteristics.

Texas Instruments has introduced a 10A, non-isolated DC/DC power module with fast transient response and high performance. The plug-in module meets the strict three percent accuracy core voltage tolerance requirements of TI's newest 3-GHz digital signal processors (DSPs), such as the TMS320TCI6487, with only 3,000 µF of external output capacitance. The device also supports point-of-load systems that use high-performance DSPs, microprocessor...

Linear Technology has announced the LTC3452, a synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for driving two banks of white LEDs from a single Li-Ion battery. Up to five parallel LEDs can be driven at up to 25mA each for backlighting LCD panels, while two LEDS can be driven at up to 200mA each (or one LED at 400mA) for camera flash applications. The LTC3452's synchronous buck-boost topology delivers up to 90% efficiency over the entire usable ...

PULS, the DIN-rail power supplies specialist , has added new tools for system designers to its website. In addition to full specifications of all of its power supplies and accessories, a new PULScast feature offers movie clips explaining power supply technology and functionality. The other new website feature is downloadable CAD drawings of all PULS DIN-Rail power supplies.

Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced the FDZ191P, said to be the industry’s smallest footprint P-channel MOSFET offering the optimal thermal and electrical performance necessary for power conversion, charging and load management in an array of low-voltage (
