Fairchild Semiconductor has received a Partnership Supplier Award from Chervon. Chervon is a top power tool manufacturer in China, producing power tools such as hand saws, drills, sanders and garden tools, with worldwide distribution.

Fairchild Semiconductor has developed 3.3V optocoupler products that offer excellent isolation, strong noise immunity and superior performance over a wide temperature range (up to 110ºC). Industrial applications operate in harsh environments where electrical signals are processed in the presence of transients or continuous high voltages. Isolators, such as optocouplers, are instrumental in avoiding downtime from unexpected errors due to noise....

Analog Devices, Inc. today announced that Lantronix, Inc. has selected ADI’s iCoupler digital isolator technology to enable its new family of wireless communication network servers. The EDS-MD family of multiport medical device servers represents the latest in healthcare communications by providing remotely controlled system-level management of multiple medical devices in a compact, secure and lightweight plastic enclosure.

Renesas Electronics has announced the availability of an IGBT drive optocoupler product, the PS9402, featuring an integrated insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT, Note 1) protection function. The PS9402 optocoupler comprises a gallium-aluminium-arsenide (GaAlAs) LED as the light emitting element, a photodetector IC, and an IGBT protection circuit.

Avago Technologies has announced three high-speed optocouplers that deliver robust electrical signal isolation for Intelligent Power Module interface applications. The new ACPL-x484 optocouplers operate at 10 MBd, doubling the speed of existing IPM optocouplers for more efficient performance. Available in three different compact packages that reduce PCB board space, the devices address IPM interfaces in AC and brushless DC motor drives, industria...

The growing popularity of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) is placing new emphasis on the need for battery management to monitor voltage levels and provide car makers with the means to reduce battery weight, size and cost. Because HEV batteries operate at high voltages of up to 600 V, isolation is required for safe and reliable operation. Analog Devices is addressing these needs by expanding its portfolio of AEC-Q100 products with the...

Analog Devices is introducing the industry’s first automotive grade products to provide true bidirectional isolation for the lower cost I2C serial bus. Based on ADI’s proprietary iCoupler® digital isolation technology, the ADuM1250W hot swappable, dual I2C digital isolator reduces board space by as much as 80 percent and greatly reduces the system cost associated with isolating I2C buses. This is accomplished by eliminating optocouplers a...

Linear Technology has announced the LTC6803, a second generation high voltage battery monitor for hybrid/electric vehicle (HEVs), electric vehicles (EVs) and other high voltage, high performance battery systems. The LTC6803 is a complete battery measuring IC that includes a 12-bit ADC, a precision voltage reference, a high voltage input multiplexer and a serial interface. Each LTC6803 can measure up to 12 individual battery cells in series. The d...

The new Evaluation Board EVBPS2XA7X from Mitsubishi Electric is specifically developed for design engineers using the 1200V DIPIPM Version 4 (DIPIPMTM: Dual In-Line Package Integrated Power Module) as the Evaluation Board provides users with an image of the system interface.

Maxim has introduced pin- and software-compatible 16-bit and 12-bit precision DACs. Offered in a 3mm x 3mm package, these DACs integrate a high-precision voltage reference and provide exceptional linearity. Pin and software compatibility saves design time by allowing designers the capability to change resolution without redesigning the board or control software. This results in reduced time-to-market for the end product. This unmatched combinati...
