Mitsubishi Motors Adopts Analog Devices’ Low-Power Isolation Technology For Next-Generation Electric Vehicle
Analog Devices announced today that Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Mitsubishi Motors) has adopted ADI’s iCoupler digital isolators to develop a safe, reliable and efficient Li-ion battery power system for the next-generation EV, the “i-MiEV” all-electric vehicle. Mitsubishi Motors describes the vehicle as the ultimate eco-car that produces no CO2 emissions. Powered by 100 percent electrical power, the i-MiEV has a single-charge range of 160...
Vishay Releases New Integrated Power Phototriacs in DIP-8 Package with Output Current up to 1 A
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. is broadening its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of two integrated power phototriacs: the VO2223, which features an output current of 0.9 A, and the VO2223A, which features an output current of 1.0 A. These new power phototriacs integrate functions formerly performed by two discrete devices, a phototriac and a power TRIAC. By eliminating the need for an external power TRIAC, the devices save board spa...
High Voltage Battery Stack Monitor from Linear Technology
Linear Technology has announced the LTC6802, a highly integrated multicell battery monitoring IC capable of measuring up to 12 individual battery cells. The device’s proprietary design allows multiple LTC6802s to be stacked in series without optocouplers or isolators, for precision voltage monitoring of every cell in long strings of series-connected batteries.
DAC Family Features Precision DC & 1us Settling Time
Linear Technology has introduced a complete family of low-power, precision 16-/14-/12-bit unbuffered voltage output digital-to-analog converters. Both the unipolar LTC2641 and bipolar LTC2642 draw only 120uA of supply current while settling to within 0.5LSB for a full-scale step in only 1us. These voltage output DACs feature a 0.5nV•s glitch impulse, which is key for AC applications such as waveform generation. Low glitch reduces the transient ...
16-Bit Industrial DAC with ±10V and 4-20mA Outputs from Maxim
Maxim has introduced the MAX5661 16-bit, industrial digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with two precision, high-voltage output circuits. This DAC features unprecedented integration by incorporating a voltage-output amplifier, current-output amplifier, and pass transistors on the same silicon.
Campbell Collins Introduce New Family of 270V Input DC/DC Converters for Avionic & Military Applications
Campbell Collins Ltd is pleased to announce the release of a family of high input voltage DC/DC Converters targeting Avionic, Aerospace, Military and Missile applications from Gaia Converter of France. The MGDS-75-S series have an input voltage range of 155-480V, making them ideal for 270V applications such as those needing to meet MIL-STD-704E/F requirements, or for use with Power Factor Corrected front end converters such as Gaia’s HGMS-350 s...

How iCoupler® Digital Isolators Achieve 8.3mm Creepage
Learn how iCoupler digital isolators have achieved the CSA certification for packaging with a minimum of 8mm creepage for systems that operate up to 220-250 V AC, enabling designers to replace optocouplers.
iCoupler® Technology: An Alternative to Optocouplers
iCoupler digital isolation technology addresses limitations of optocouplers. Optocouplers are slow, power hungry, difficult to integrate with other functions and degrade over time. By contrast, iCoupler products combine high bandwidth on-chip transformers and fine scale CMOS circuitry to realize isolators that improve reliability, size, power, speed, timing accuracy, and ease of use.
