Digitally programmable DC source provides 3.8kW of regulated power
Astrodyne TDI now offers a digitally programmable AC/DC power supply that provides 3,800W of regulated power and can operate as either a current or voltage source up to 400V or 170A. The modular 3.8kW Mercury-Flex is hot-swappable enabling maximum uptime.
Microsite focuses on power management technology
A Power Management Technology site designed to give engineers easy-to-access information on the latest technical advances in power management technologies has been unveiled by Mouser Electronics. As part of Mouser’s growing selection of Applications and Technologies sites, the Power Management Technology site provides a wealth of resource material.
Chinese component maker extends footprint in Europe
Rutronik and LRC (Leshan Radio Company), a Chinese manufacturer of diodes, transistors and integrated circuits, have extended their franchise agreement to cover Europe. Rutronik is already LRC’s distribution partner for Asia. LRC is one of Asia’s largest producers of small-signal discrete semiconductors.
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.
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.
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.
