High-voltage rectifiers ensure robust operation
Designed to provide robust rectification, blocking and reverse-battery protection for automotive ECUs, two AEC-Q101-qualified high-voltage rectifiers have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The compact, small form factor and thermally efficient SOD123F package enables the S1MSWFQ standard rectifier and RS1MSWFQ fast rectifier to deliver a superior level of performance from a PCB footprint that is less than half that of similar SMA packaged r...
PFC module draws maximum power from the grid
Vincotech has announced the release of flowPFC 0 CD modules. Engineered to optimise energy quality and consumption for welding, SMPS and embedded drive applications rated from 1 to 6 kW, these power factor correction modules draw maximum power from the grid.
Three phase thyristor controller
Powerstax announces the introduction of its DTC 352 Dual Control Channel Three Phase Thyristor Controller suitable for use in electro-chemical processes and control of motors, heaters and traction equipment. One of Europe’s leading value-added power solutions manufacturers Powerstax supplies a range of high-reliability industrial power systems for industrial processes,
Sensor price erosion slows total O-S-D growth
The worldwide O-S-D (Optoelectronics; Sensors and actuators; and Discrete semiconductors) market has turned into a mixed bag of double-digit growth for several major product categories (lamp devices, infrared circuits and CMOS image sensors) combined with single-digit declines in sales for nearly a dozen other categories (including most sensors, diodes, rectifiers and power transistors).
Silicon-controlled rectifiers improve reliability
High-temperature Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) from STMicroelectronics allow manufacturers of voltage regulators, inrush current limiters for switch-mode power supplies, motor-control circuits, and industrial solid-state relays to improve the reliability of their applications or reduce costs by using smaller heatsinks.
Track energy use & carbon footprint in real-time
In the smart home, many technologies exist to track how much energy a particular appliance is using but they do not tell you who actually flicked the switch. A wearable device developed at the University of Washington can sense what devices and vehicles the user interacts with throughout the day, which can help track that individual’s carbon footprint, enable smart home applications or even assist with care.
Digital inrush current controller reference design
IXYS Corporation has announced a reference design - High Power Digital Inrush Current Controller. It is based on Zilog’s 8-bit Z8F3281 microcontroller, a member of the Z8 Encore! XP F6482 series of microcontrollers and IXYS high performance power semiconductors.
Experts to showcase 400VDC system for data centres
In light of emerging trends and evolving technologies in the telecomms market, Emerson Network Power has announced its participation at the 2015 International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC) in Osaka, Japan. Global telecomms experts from Emerson Network Power will share the latest strategies and solutions to optimise the infrastructure of communications networks during the five-day event.
Recovery rectifiers operate at +175 degrees C
The new FRED Pt recovery rectifiers from Vishay are available through TTI in Europe. With their fast and soft recovery characteristics, low leakage current, and low forward voltage drop of 0.93V, the components reduce switching losses and over-dissipation in automotive and telecom applications, e.g. DC/DC converters in engine control units (ECU), antilock braking systems (ABS), LED lighting and telecom DC/DC bricks.
6kV rectifier diodes feature surge current rating of 36,000A
IXYS has announced that its wholly owned UK subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode, introduced two 6kV pressure contact rectifier diodes. The two latest diodes have current ratings of 2,830 and 3,090A and are encapsulated in fully hermetic ceramic packages with copper electrodes.
