NVE Introduces Isolated CAN Transceiver
NVE Corporation today announced the introduction of the IsoLoop IL41050T isolated Controller Area Network (CAN) transceiver. Transceiver and isolation functions are integrated in a single device with improved performance and reduced chip count compared to discrete transceivers and traditional optocouplers. The IL41050T fully complies with the ISO 11898 CAN standard and de facto industry standards, and provides an isolated interface to three volt ...
Pin- and Software-Compatible, Multichannel DACs from Maxim
Maxim Integrated Products has introduced a family of quad (MAX5134/MAX5135) and dual (MAX5136/MAX5137), 16-bit and 12-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) which are pin and software compatible. These multichannel DACs are designed to address customers' environmental concerns about power consumption.
Hot Swappable I2C Isolator Enables Simple Interfacing Between Busses with Isolated Grounds
Linear Technology introduces the LTC4310, a hot swappable I2C isolator that provides bidirectional communication between two I2C busses whose grounds are isolated from one another. I2C isolation has traditionally been achieved using up to four optocouplers and special buffers, a costly, large and relatively complicated technique.
Phototriacs for Consumer Applications Webinar
Vishay Semiconductor has a complete portfolio of phototriacs for consumer electronics. This 8-slide webinar provides a quick review of the function of optocouplers and phototriacs. It describes key performance parameters and where optocoupler phototraics are used in the home.
Vishay Intertechnology Introduces Five Optoelectronics Webinars on Website
To assist customers in understanding the applications and key performance parameters for solid state lighting, phototriacs, photodiodes, high-speed optocouplers, and ambient light sensors, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that it has added five new optoelectronics webinars to its website's video library (http://www.vishay.com).
NVE Introduces World’s Smallest Isolated CAN Transceiver
NVE Corporation today announced an expansion of the IsoLoop® IL41050TE isolated Controller Area Network (CAN) transceiver family with the introduction of the 16-pin narrow-body SOIC IL41050T-3E. The wide-body SOIC IL41050TE was introduced in March 2010.
Silicon Labs Introduces Industry’s First Six-Channel 5 kV Digital Isolators
Silicon Laboratories Inc introduced a family of digital isolators that offers the highest channel count, performance and data rate for demanding applications with isolation ratings up to 5 kV. The new Si86xx 3.75 kV and 5 kV digital isolators replace optocouplers in target applications requiring robust operation and high levels of insulation protection. With its 5 kV rating, the Si86xx family offers an ideal isolation solution for systems powered...
Power Integrations’ LinkSwitch-PH and LinkSwitch-PL LED Driver ICs Deliver Flicker-Free TRIAC Dimming in Solid-State Lighting Applications
Power Integrations announced two families of TRIAC-dimmable, single-stage, power-factor-corrected LED driver ICs targeting solid-state lighting (SSL) applications. LinkSwitch-PH (optimized for isolated systems) and LinkSwitch-PL (optimized for non-isolated systems) deliver flicker-free monotonic TRIAC dimming and a user experience similar to that provided by incandescent illumination.
Power Integrations Delivers Five-Star Rating for Cellphone-Charger Power Consumption
Power Integrations has announced that its LinkSwitch-II family of power conversion ICs enables manufacturers of cellphone chargers to achieve the recently announced five-star rating for no-load energy consumption.
Analog Devices Introduces Digital Isolator with Integrated Transformer Driver and PWM Controller
Analog Devices introduced a digital isolator with an integrated transformer driver and PWM (pulse-width modulation) controller in a single package. The integration of these components into a small, surface mount 20-lead SSOP (shrink small outline package) enables the new four-channel digital isolator to reduce board space by up to 30 percent and achieve cost reductions of 10 percent while simplifying the development of systems requiring isolated ...
