Powersolve has announced a family of Industrial DC-DC converters that will suit a very wide range of applications requiring nominal 12V, 24V or 48V DC inputs. Manufactured by Astec, the new family comprises five series of DC-DC converters with outputs from 6 to 30 W.

Monolithic Power Systems has announced the MP1543, a new compact and highly integrated 1.5A synchronous step-up (boost) converter that operates with an input voltage as low as 1.8V while maintaining an overall operating efficiency greater than 90%.

SynQor has announced a DC/DC converter optimized to provide high efficiency, fast transient response, and low output noise in one of the smallest packages in the industry. The NQ10W50PKA07 series delivers a full 7A of output current and is ideal as a low voltage POL converter in Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) applications.

Power-One has announced its 15-amp ZY1015 No-BusTM Point-Of-Load (POL) converter. Featuring a low-profile horizontally-mounted package, this hardware-configurable digital POL provides sophisticated power management capabilities without the need for programming, external controllers, or bus interfaces. Simple pin strapping, an external trim resistor, and a capacitor are all that is required for configuration.

Maxwell Technologies has announced that it will introduce more than 30 new BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitor products during 2006 as part of a program to better meet the diverse requirements of the automotive, transportation, industrial and consumer electronics markets.

Power-One has introduced the 75W PLP75-1012G ac-dc power supply. This cost-effective 12V supply offers excellent EMC immunity, is RoHS compliant for the reduction of all six substances, and fits within 1U height constraints. The PLP75-1012G is an ideal power source for a wide variety of applications including use as a front end for point-of load converters, or for powering electro-mechanical devices such as fans, in telecom/datacom, and industria...

Power-One today provided details onthe “Adaptive/Intelligent Control and Power Management Reduces Power Dissipation and Consumption” paper presented at the EPA ENERGY STAR Server and Data Center Conference.

Semtech's SC4501, SC4502 and SC4502H are current-mode, adjustable frequency step-up (boost) converters with an internal 2A, 40V switch.

Powersolve's latest series of battery chargers is designed to charge 12 or 24V lead acid batteries.
