The “Best of Power Tips” e-book compiles the most popular posts from our long-running series with Electronic Design News (EDN). Texas Instruments' power management experts created the Power Tips series to provide insights on common tips and tricks for addressing specific power-supply design challenges.

Vitesco Technologies has selected GaN to improve the power efficiency of its Gen5+ GaN Air DCDC converter.

TPSM8281x are a family of pin-to-pin, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, and 6A compatible high efficiency and easy to use synchronous step-down DC/DC power modules with integrated inductors. The devices are based on a fixed-frequency peak current-mode control topology. 

Vishay Intertechnology announces that it has extended its shielded IFDC and semi-shielded IFSC series of wirewound, surface-mount ferrite inductors with three new devices in the 2020DE, 3232DB, and 5050HZ case sizes.

Littelfuse has introduced the SRP1 Solid-State Relays (SSRs) family, designed to meet the growing demand for more reliable and durable switching components in industrial and commercial machinery applications. 

Würth Elektronik now offers its WE-RFI inductors in sizes 0402 and 0603, which can be used as inductors for HF applications or as ferrites for interference suppression.

Nexperia has announced that the ongoing expansion of its NextPower 80V and 100V MOSFET portfolio is continuing apace with the release of several new LFPAK devices in industry-standard 5 x 6mm and 8 x 8mm footprints.

Navitas has announced that Samsung has expanded the adoption of Navitas’ GaNFast ICs to its extended portfolio.

The TPSM82830x are an easy-to-use, synchronous, step-down, DC/DC module family with integrated inductor and EMI reduction technologies. Based on the DCS-Control topology, the devices have a fast transient response yet with small output capacitance. 

Are you working to double the data rate of your next-generation optical module, but within the existing form factor and power budget? Or are you being asked to cram one more sensor into your machine vision system, but are already out of board space and dissipating too much power?
