Power Integrations has introduced a new version of its popular PI Expert power supply design software – plus a new online Rapid Transformer Sample Service (RTSS) for transformer prototyping. PI Expert 6.5 includes PI’s latest TinySwitch-III, PeakSwitch and LinkSwitch-LP products, and automates power supply circuit design, component selection and transformer construction, while RTSS promises to trim days from the construction of transformer de...

By combining a high performance charge pump, with backlight, flash and RGB drivers into a single 4 x 4mm IC controllable by a serial interface, AnalogicTech’s AAT2830/31 reduces parts count and system footprint, offering handset and portable system designers an exceptionally high level of integration and configurability.

PowerPax are pleased to launch their new M series of medical approved power supplies which give a maximum of 16 watts of continuous output power.

Enhancing its portfolio of Smart Power Modules (SPM™), Fairchild Semiconductor introduces the FSB50325S (250V), FSB50250S (500V) and FSB50450S (500V), three new Motion-SPM™ devices available in 29mm x 12mm surface-mount-device (SMD) packages.

Intersil has introduced the ISL65426, a high-efficiency dual output synchronous buck regulator. The device integrates protection for two synchronous buck regulator channels in a thin QFN package, making it ideal for powering today’s small form factor applications.

Expanding its portfolio of power switch solutions, Fairchild Semiconductor has announced new 100V, 200V and 220V N-channel UltraFET devices available in ultra-compact (3mm x 3mm) molded leadless packages (MLP). These devices are ideal for primary-side switches in isolated DC/DC converter applications, such as work stations, telecom and networking equipment, where improving system efficiency and saving board space are mandatory design goals.

Powersolve has added to its wide-ranging AC/DC converters offering with the addition of the LPS250 and LPQ250 Series, both of which can be specified with end or top fan covers. With either fan cover, both will give up to 250W whilst the power supply is also available without a fan for requirements where external fan cooling is provided. Four single output models are available with very wide output adjustment enabling any voltage between 3V and 48...

Power-One has introduced the SFP450-12BG; a 450W, hot-swap, AC-DC front-end. This I2C-compatible power supply utilizes advanced topologies and thermal management techniques to deliver 12VDC at 36.6A, with efficiencies exceeding 89% and a power density of 9W/in3. Power-One will be displaying this highly-efficient product at Electronica 2006 in Munich.

Unipower-Europe Ltd is well known for its wide range of AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC power conversion and distribution products for general industrial applications and will use electronica 2006 to give the first global public airing to several key power supplies that will find wide application throughout industry.

Power-One has announced that the latest version of the Z-One Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the capability to configure, program, and monitor Point-Of-Load (POL) converters and Digital Power Managers (DPMs) obtained from any Z-AllianceTM compliant manufacturer. Power-One will be demonstrating this industry-first, multi-vendor functionality at Electronica 2006 in Munich.
