Power transmitter/receiver speeds wireless charging of mobiles
A family of inductive power transmitter and receiver ICs from Semtech for wireless charging and power management is available at L2Tek. Previously branded Triune Systems before acquisition by Semtech, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi certified and Power Matters Alliance (PMA) compliant chips deliver high operating efficiency with low stand-by power consumption for applications including smartphones, tablets and GPS devices as well as other ...
Creating the internet of low power things
Reducing power consumption is a major challenge facing the IoT. Steve Rogerson looks at the techniques being employed.Some extremely large figures have been bandied around for the number of devices that will eventually make up the Internet-of-Things as research companies try to outdo each other in their predictions.
GaN RF power transistors come in 10 to 200W ratings
Ampleon has announced the extension of its portfolio of GaN RF power transistors based on a 0.5um HEMT process technology. Comprising 10, 30, 50 and 100W devices, over ten transistors are currently available suitable for multiple applications such as drivers up to C band, through to 100 and 200W push-pull packages for use in final stages up to S band.
FET and eval board simplify GaN FET circuit design
The GS66508T enhancement mode transistor and the associated EVBHB half-bridge evaluation board from GaN System is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The GS66508T is a 650V enhancement mode gallium nitride (GaN) power switch with top-cooled configuration. The fully functional GS66508T-EVBHB board is easily configured into any half bridge-based topology, including synchronous boost or buck conversion, as well as pulsed switching to evaluate t...
60A digital point-of-load DC/DC converter delivers power density
Ericsson has announced the launch of a 60A 3E* digital point-of-load (POL) DC/DC power module, the BMR466, designed to power MPUs, FPGAs, ASICs and other digital ICs on complex boards. Up to eight of the fully regulated 60A (maximum) POL converters can be connected in parallel to deliver up to 480A in multi-module and multi-phase systems.
Adjustable current regulators simplify LED strip driving
Offering a simple method of driving low-power linear LED strips, the BCR420U and BCR421U Constant-Current Regulators (CCR) have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. Target applications, such as LED strips for mood lighting, emergency and advertising signage and decorative lighting for retail refrigeration and vending machines, will benefit from the improved efficiency, flexibility and longer life offered by LEDs as an emerging lighting source.
LOPEC adds market leaders to exhibitor list
LOPEC, the international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics industry, will bring together market leading suppliers from Europe, Asia and the USA. LOPEC will be held from April 5 to 7, 2016 in the ICM—Internationales Congress Center Munich.
Industrial motherboard for intelligent platforms
The ITX-i89H0 Mini-ITX industrial motherboard from ARBOR Technology (UK) is based on the Intel CM236 Platform Control Hub (codenamed Sunrise Point-H) and soldered onboard Intel Xeon E3-1505L v5 processor (codenamed Skylake-H). It is manufactured on 14nm process technology with 2nd Generation 3-D Tri-Gate transistors.
4-transistor pixel sensor delivers critical speed
X-FAB Silicon Foundries has introduced XS018, the first specialised 0.18µm CMOS process for fast and large image sensor pixels. Unlike the 4-transistor pixels used in consumer products such as mobile phones and digital cameras, which have small sizes, the XS018 technology is the first to support high-speed large pixels required for medical and scientific applications such as computer tomography and x-ray scanners for 3D images.
LOPEC 2016 to bring technology and business together
The international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics industry, LOPEC, will again take place in Munich next April. The two day exhibition (April 6–7) and three day conference (April 5–7) will give visitors and delegates a chance to learn about all the latest developments in this increasingly important technology sector.
