Fairchild Semiconductor has been awarded the Best Semiconductor Vendor in Italy for 2009 from Assodel. This award recognizes companies that show continued commitment and proactively strive to develop partnerships with distribution partners. This is the second year that Fairchild has been recognized by Assodel, receiving the Best Manufacturer Award in the power category for 2008.

Industrial applications present reliability challenges to designers as a result of the high temperature and tight spaces commonly found in power supplies, motor controls and consumer applications such as chargers and adapters. To combat these reliability challenges, system design engineers need an optocoupler, which allows for more design margins and has stable parameters in high temperature environments.

Avago Technologies today announced the ACPL-M21L/021L/024L/W21L/K24L optocoupler family . These optocouplers consume less power as compared to other similar 5MBd optocouplers in the market. The ACPL-x2xL optocouplers are designed to meet customer needs for lower power,higher isolation voltage, and better common-mode rejection (CMR) performance, thanks to the excellent performance of the new LED and detector IC design.

MSC now offers the PS9924 and PS9905 optocouplers from Renesas Electronics. The two new devices are housed in a novel 8-pin Long Shrink Dual In-line Package (LSDIP) and feature an extra-long creepage distance of 14.5 mm minimum and an isolation voltage of 7500 Vrms.

Analog Devices, Inc. has introduced the first packaging technology for digital isolators that achieves a minimum of 8-mm creepage distance required by global industry standards to ensure safe operation in high-voltage medical and industrial applications. The new packaging enables designers to replace lower performing optocouplers with ADI’s digital isolators, while meeting the minimum creepage requirements necessary for these applications.

Analog Devices, Inc. today introduced the ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development environment. The plug-and-play ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development environment significantly reduces development time by enabling the evaluation of eight physical layer, digitally-isolated communication standards simultaneously (USB, RS-422, RS-485, RS-232, CAN, 2 x SPI, I²C, and LVDS).

Analog Devices is expanding its family of digital isolation products with a series of four-channel devices that isolate both data and power. Each device integrates ADI’s iCoupler digital isolation technology and ADI’s proprietary isoPower dc-to-dc converter, providing both isolated power and isolated signal channels within a single package.

Analog Devices has expanded its interface product family with two integrated, galvanically-isolated RS-485/422 transceivers, each featuring an integrated isolated power converter. Providing unmatched levels of isolation performance, the ADM2587E and ADM2582E are the first transceivers to integrate a line driver, line receiver, oscillator, rectifier, regulator, and transformers into a single-chip that isolates both the data and power lines in a t...

Power Integrations has announced the introduction of its LinkSwitch-II family of highly integrated AC-DC switched-mode power conversion ICs with very accurate primary-side control. LinkSwitch-II dramatically simplifies constant-voltage, constant-current (CV/CC) converters, and enables consumer products to meet all worldwide energy-efficiency and no-load regulations, such as ENERGY STAR 2.0 for external power supplies. The new ICs are ideal for a...

Power Integrations have unveiled LinkSwitch-HP, a new family of energy-efficient, off-line switcher ICs that can deliver up to 90 W output power with accurate primary-side regulation. LinkSwitch-HP ICs utilize innovative control algorithms and the properties of the main power transformer and output diode – instead of optocouplers and related feedback circuitry – to determine the amount of power to deliver from the primary to the isolated seco...
