The relentless march of Moore’s Law and the spread of application for high power electronic devices – especially the widening use of LED’s, increasingly bring forward the problem of heat dissipation.

Designers and builders of rack-based systems are not generally space constrained when it comes to specifying the power source. Not for them the constant need to consider size, weight and heat dissipation and very few need to be concerned with other factors such as the electrical “noise” generated by the power supply itself. And, if noise is an issue, most designers will select a linear power supply to do the job.

Following its appointment by EIC Semi Ltd, the leading discrete components manufacturer, Focus EDL has made available a very wide range of Zener Diodes covering Zener voltages up to 200V and power up to 5W. Zener diodes are used in power conversion and protection solutions for industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.

Power Integrations today announced a strategic investment in SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc., a Mississippi-based manufacturer of high-voltage silicon-carbide (SiC) semiconductor devices. Power Integrations’ commitment of $30 million, which includes an equity investment in SemiSouth, a technology license and other financial commitments, will help drive the continued expansion of SemiSouth’s SiC fabrication facility and spur continued growth of c...

Analog Devices, introduced the ADP2300 and ADP2301 dc-to-dc switching regulators, the most recent in their growing portfolio of integrated power management switching regulators. The new 20V 1.2A (amp) step-down, dc-to-dc switching regulators integrate a high-side MOSFET that delivers power conversion efficiencies greater than 90 percent. The new regulators also feature internal loop compensation, integrated soft-start circuitry and bootstrap diod...

StaticGuard multilayer ceramic transient voltage suppressors from AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components, are designed to address ESD protection for CMOS, Bi-polar and SiGe based devices. The voltage suppressors meet 15 kV ESD pulse (air discharge) per IEC 1000-4-2, Level 4, generating less than 20 millijoules of energy. It is particularly important to protect ICs against ESD as the typical failure voltage for CMOS...

AntennaGuard multilayer ceramic transient voltage suppressors from AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components, target RF-antenna and RF-amplifier protection. These devices are zinc-oxide (ZnO) based, multilayer ceramic chips in 0402 and 0603 sizes and feature non-linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) capacitor in parallel.

CAN Series varistors from AVX Corporation are specifically designed to provide ESD protection in controlled-area-network (CAN) applications, predominantly in automotive electronics. The zinc-oxide (ZnO) based, multilayer ceramic varistors feature non-linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) capacitor in parallel. This “equivalent” capacitor e...

The latest surface-mountable AVX CANBus varistors replace three components typically used to protect against transient voltage spikes: two back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel.

AVX Corporation has developed the industry’s first 63V and 75V single-anode tantalum polymer capacitors. Part of the TCJ Series polymer tantalum capacitors, these new surface mount devices (SMDs) deliver high capacitance, high voltage and low ESR values in a small case size.
