Avago Technologies Introduces Automotive Photovoltaic MOSFET Driver at Electronica 2014
Avago Technologies today introduced the ACPL-K30T, an optocoupler-based photovoltaic driver device designed to drive high voltage MOSFET and withstand extreme heat for automotive under-the-hood applications. The device is optimized for use in battery management systems of modern electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) as well as high-temperature power systems of conventional internal comb...
ICs slash BoM with integrated feedback circuits
By integrating primary and secondary feedback circuits, the InnoSwitch IC family is set to revolutionise switch-mode power supply design, says Power Integrations. The ICs use FluxLink safety-isolated communication technology, which combines primary - and secondary-switcher circuitry to reduce component count.
Optocouplers' safety isolation suits solar inverters
Expanding its VOW Widebody family of high-isolation optocouplers, Vishay has announced a series of devices which achieve 1 and 10MBd data rates. The VOW135, VOW136, VOW137 and VOW2611 optocouplers consist of a GaAIAs infrared emitting diode, optically coupled with an integrated photo detector.
DC/DC converters target harsh industrial environments
Operating over a wide temperature range from -60 to +125°С, the TEC-100 and TEC-200 series isolated DC/DC converters are designed for industrial applications and harsh environment conditions. Introduced by Schaefer, the converters provide 100 and 200W of continuous power at high efficiencies of up to 93%.
Digital isolators suitable for household appliances
Silicon Labs introduces a family of digital isolators which the company claims offer the highest channel count, performance, reliability and data rates for cost-sensitive consumer electronics applications requiring functional isolation of up to 1kV. The Si80xx family is based on Silicon Labs’ patented CMOS-based digital isolation technology.
Industry's first integrated bidirectional 3.4MHz I2C isolator
Consisting of a dual channel bidirectional I2C digital isolator as well as five unidirectional channels of isolation, the AS1705 digital isolator has been announced by Akros Silicon. Optimised to enable real-time telemetry and control of Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) controllers used in Power-over-Ethernet capable (PoE) switches and routers, the AS1705’s 3.4MHz communication speed and integration level are unmatched in the industry, claim ...

A family of14.2mm optocoupler devices, designated the ACNT-Hxxx series, has been launched byAvago Technologies. Designed for high voltage applications, theACNT-Hxxx family consists of three major product series: the ACNT-H3xx, high efficiency gate drive optocouplers for driving IGBTs; the ACNT-H6xL, low power 10MBd digital optocouplers for system control and data communications; and the ACNT-H79x, high linearity isolation amplifiers for current a...
Optocouplers reduce board space & improve power efficiency
Designed for use in motor control and power inverter applications, the ACPL-336J and ACPL-337J optocouplers have been announced by Avago. Avago claim that the highly-integrated smart gate drive optocoupler devices reduce system costs and board space, whilst improving overall power efficiency and reliability.
Maxim's high integration products on show at Embedded World
At Embedded World 2014, in Nuremberg, Germany (February 25-27), Maxim will be exhibiting their portfolio of highly integrated analog solutions which feature high integration for substantial savings in space, cost, energy, and time to market. The company will host interactive demo kiosks with embedded solutions for energy management, power management, and the signal-chain.
DC/DC converters on the shelf at RS
RS Components is stocking the industry’s smallest isolated DC-to-DC converters from Analog Devices (ADI). The ADuM5010, ADuM6010, ADuM521x and ADuM621x use ADI’s proprietary isoPower isolated DC-to-DC converter technology to deliver 150 mW of output power while using less board space than competing module-based solutions.
