Rutronik, TDK extend European pact
Rutronik and TDK Europe have significantly expanded their distribution agreement for the European market. In addition to the TDK-Micronas and TDK-Lambda brands, Rutronik is now selling TDK’s EPCOS brand of products. Under the EPCOS brand, TDK offers aluminum electrolytic and foil capacitors, transformers, varistors, thermistors, piezo components, and actuators for haptic feedback.
Sensor brings solution for PCB-less applications
Adding to its collection of TMR angle sensors, TDK has announced the TAD2140 type in a TO-6 package for automotive and industrial applications. The sensor provides a system-in-package solution for PCB-less applications. It includes two full TMR bridges, a dedicated ASIC for signal conditioning and integrated passive components.
Component shortage caused by continued market boom
The heat shows no sign of abating from the component distribution market as a market boom has caused a shortage.
Buck regulators simplify industrial power supply design
Texas Instruments has introduced two wide-VINsynchronous SIMPLE SWITCHERDC/DC buck regulators in ultra-small HotRodquad flat no-lead (QFN) packaging. The highly integrated 3ALMR33630and 2ALMR33620step-down voltage converters feature full load efficiency - 92% - for rugged and reliable industrial power supplies with switching frequencies up to 2.1MHz. Used in conjunction with TI’s WEBENCHPower Designer, the converters simplify power conversi...
SiC MOSFET and schottky barrier diode portfolio expanded
Microsemi has announced it will be expanding its Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET and SiC diode product portfolios early next quarter, including samples of its next-gen 1,200V, 25 and 80Ω SiC MOSFET devices; next-gen 700V, 50A Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) and corresponding die. These SiC solutions, along with other recently announced devices in the SiC SBD/MOSFET product families, will be demonstrated 5th-7th Junein hall 6, booth 318 at PCIM Eu...
FETs deliver industry’s highest-performance upgrade path
Designers of Power Factor Correction stages (PFCs), Active Frontend Rectifiers, LLC converters and Phase Shift Full Bridge converters can now upgrade existing system performance by using the UJ3C1200 series of SiC JFET cascodes from UnitedSiC. With a voltage rating of 1200V and ON-resistances of 80 and 40 milliohms, these devices offer a ‘drop-in’ replacement solution for many existing IGBT, Si-MOSFET and SiC-MOSFET parts, with no cha...
Driving leading-edge SiC/GaN power converters
To take advantage of the new power switch technologies, a complete ecosystem of ICs must be implemented in converter design, starting with the gate driver, says Stefano Gallinaro, Analog Devices and Imad Owaineh, Watt&Well
Super capacitors offer extremely low leakage current
The newly launched VINATech LIC product range offers a series of radial EDLC capacitors from 20 Farad to 270 Farads. This hybrid ultra-capacitor technology uses activated carbon with a lithium electrode to create a high density capacitor with extremely low self discharge characteristics.
Capacitor line provides broadband rejection in decoupling
The new V Series capacitors deliver increased broadband rejection in a significantly reduced footprint for bypass capacitor filtering networks. Released under the DLI brand from Knowles Precision Devices, this cost effective capacitor line is built on a compact 30 mil by 30 mil footprint. This RF signal blocking design tool will solve the needs of design engineers looking to decouple RF signals from DC bias lines in active circuit designs, such a...
Protecting against ballistic missiles and military satellites
RAF Fylingdales located at Snod Hill, near Pickering on the North Yorkshire Moors, is an integral part of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) for UK and US defence, with a secondary duty of detecting, reporting and tracking satellite activity, given that many currently in orbit are of a military nature and able to gather intelligence using diverse covert techniques.
