Firmware vulnerabilities highlight IoT's major weakness
It has recently come to light that there is a massive flaw in Intel chips that allows hackers to remotely takeover large number of devices without even needing to enter a password. Cesare Garlati, Chief Security Strategist, prpl Foundation, commented on the importance of securing the firmware in IoT devices: "Firmware vulnerabilities are the most dangerous because by definition firmware is 'persistent'. The software that is built in to the device...
Compact switch mode power supplies are for smart energy
SMPS are needed for smart energy applications, such as low power lighting controls, audio or thermostat controls and other smart home electronics applications, as well as industrial controls.
Space saving power inductors target portable electronics
Two new series of low profile power inductors optimised for DC/DC conversion in portable electronics have been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology. Offered in compact 1212, 1616, and 2020 case sizes with low profiles down to 1.0 mm, Vishay Dale IFL and IFLS series devices deliver inductance up to 100 µH — values normally reserved for larger components.
Fully automated DC/DC converters have a low profile
RECOM claims that its new R1SX series have nearly 20% lower profile than the industry standard due to their inverted transformer design.These 1W DC/DC converters are suited for bus isolation and a wide range of industrial automation control equipment. The R1SX series, an open-frame SMD converter, leverages on the fully automated manufacturing techniques to deliver stable performance and consistent high-quality at a competitive price.
IGBTs released for power management applications
IXYS Corporation have announced the 1700V and 2500V XPT IGBTs for power management applications. With current ratings ranging from 26-178A, the devices are well suited for high-voltage (HV), high-speed power conversion applications, and devices that are co-packed with anti-parallel fast diodes are also available.

Full bi-directionality aids ECI technology
CE+T Power has announced the launch of new functionality for its Enhanced Conversion Innovation (ECI) technology, including multi-source and multi-directional power conversion.The new and improved ECI technology offers bi-directionality and multi-directionality on every converter, bringing a new dimension to modular inverters and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with enhanced flexibility and improved efficiency.
How is smart power evolving?
The term 'smart power' is used to refer to the automatic response of a power chip to an external situation. Now, it means much more.
Flyback transformer is optimised for industrial applications
TT Electronics has introduced the HM210-05K060LFTR flyback transformer designed for use with Avago's ACPL-32JT/302J IGBT chipset. With its high level of isolation the transformer is optimised for use in demanding industrial motor control and inverter applications.
GaN solutions alter the data centre power equation
The age of the hyper-scale data centre is upon us, evidenced by massive data storage farms and the tens of thousands of cloud servers housed in hangar-sized buildings operated by companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon.
