Analog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology, has announced the LTC3636 and LTC3636-1 are high efficiency, 4MHzsynchronous dual output buck regulators that incorporate a unique constant frequency/controlled on-time, current mode control scheme with phase lockable switching frequency. Further, their innovative design architecture reduces conducted and radiated emissions.

Supercapacitors are commonly used wherever a quick energy boost is needed, as an alternative to a rechargeable battery. The most prevalent type of supercapacitors, EDLCs (Electrical Double Layer Capacitors), providethousands or tens of thousands of times the capacitance of normal capacitors while their energy density makes them ten times smaller than batteries (more here about how EDLCs work in detail).

Today’s microprocessor-based systems require power sources that deliver high current and ultra fast transient performance, with tight regulation. This creates a need for cost effective, compact capacitors with high capacitance values. Electrolytic capacitors are the solution of choice but it’s important to go beyond specifying capacitance and voltage to consider Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) as a figure of merit.

Mill-Max has added to its diverse mix of swage mount PCB pins with six new offerings designed for interconnect applications. These swage mount terminals are designed to be mechanically fastened to a board or panel and plugged into sockets or soldered into mating boards in board stacking and other interconnect configurations.Swage pins are often thought of as wire-to-board soldering terminals and test points or as hardware such as PCB standoffs, b...

Analog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology, has announced the LT8606, a 350mA, 42V input synchronous step-down switching regulator. A unique synchronous rectification topology delivers 92% efficiency while switching at 2MHz, enabling designers to avoid critical noise-sensitive frequency bands, such as AM radio while using a very compact solution footprint. Burst Mode operation keeps quiescent current under 3µA in no-load stan...

At the 13thInternational Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) which ran from 9th to 12th May at the TÜYAP Fair Convention and Congress Center in Istanbul, Turkey, MPE’s distributor in Turkey, IMCA Elektronik was present. The biennial IDEF remains the largest defence industry event in the Eurasian region and one of the top five defence exhibitions in the world.Building on their success at previous IDEF events and celebrating their 15th annivers...

A new gear-tooth sensor in an optimised, industry-proven, Hall- effect integrated circuit (IC), rare-earth pellet, and high temperature ceramic capacitor in a single over moulded package has been announced by Allegro MicroSystems. The integrated capacitor reduces the need for external EMI protection.

A high speed, high side N-channel MOSFET driver that operates up to a 150V supply voltage has been announced byAnalog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology. Theinternal charge pump of theLTC7000/-1 fully enhances an external N-channel MOSFET switch, allowing it to remain on indefinitely. The LTC7000/-1’s powerful 1Ω gate driver can drive large gate capacitance MOSFETs with very short transition times, suitable for both hi...

One of the first things you learn in electrical engineering school is that you can’t directly step up a DC voltage, but instead you have to first convert to AC. So what do you do when you have a DC supply you need to boost to develop those myriad rails in a design?

The DL3000 Series 200W/350W Programmable DC Electronic Loads from Rigol are available at Saelig. The single output 150V 40A/60A units have a user-friendly interface and are useful for simulating a variety of load conditions for both equipment and components. A 4.3in. colour TFT LCD clearly shows multiple instrument parameters and conditions simultaneously.
