Nexperia reveals ‘Power Live’ conference highlights
‘Power Live’ is Nexperia’s second annual virtual conference. It runs from from September 21-23.
ProTek Devices introduces TVS array
ProTek Devices has introduced a steering diode/transient voltage suppressor array (TVS array) for circuit protection in common computing interfaces such as HDMI and DVI, USB, SATA, and PCIe. The PLR0504FN5TVS array provides an ultra-low capacitance of 0.3pF, typical for I/O to ground.
UnitedSiC launch FET-Jet Calculator v2
UnitedSiC have launched an upgrade to its FET-Jet Calculator. This new version (v2) streamlines the SiC FET and Schottky diode selection process and simplifies the analysis of all power related results. First launched in March, this registration-free online tool facilitates the designer’s selection and performance comparison process, in different power applications and 26 topologies. With more available topologies, FET-Jet Calculator now su...
Designing with modular, configurable power supplies
‘Modular power supplies’ mean different things depending on the market but in this article, we will be discussing AC/DC converters that typically comprise a chassis ‘front end’ with EMI filtering, surge protection, a power factor correction stage, auxiliary functions and bulk energy storage.Jon Cooper, Technical Manager, UK & Ireland, Avnet Abacus, explains.
Low clamping bidirectional ESD protection devices delivered for USB4 standard interfaces
Nexperiaannounced two PESD5V0R1BxSF low clamping and capacitance bidirectional Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection diodes. Based on Nexperia’s TrEOS technology with active silicon-controlled rectification, the devices ensure optimal signal integrity for USB4 (up to 2 x 20 Gbps) data lines on laptops and peripherals, smartphones and other portable electronic equipment.
The multi-billion business useful for 6G communications
Metamaterials are added-value materials. The IDTechEx report, 'Metamaterial and Metasurface Markets Electromagnetic 2022-2042' helps you prosper by making and deploying them everywhere. Who should you partner with, emulate or buy?Metamaterials are structures with repetitive patterning controlling radiation and other inputs in a previously impossible fashion.
Passive multiplexer/demultiplexer switches for routing
Diodes Incorporated has added a new device to its range of passive multiplexer/demultiplexer (mux/demux) switches. Supporting data rates of up to 20Gbps, thePI2DBS16212Ais a four-to-two differential channel switch IC, which offers bidirectional operation and is suited for use in high-performance IT equipment, including desktop PCs, laptops, workstations, and servers.
Understanding new connectors for led-based lighting
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have revolutionised indoor and outdoor lighting. The efficiency, controllability, colour spectrum, thermal performance, and unique form factors of this solid-state lighting (SSL) technology have helped sideline the venerable Edison incandescent bulb (as well as the fluorescent, metal halide, or sodium vapour lamps). Rolf Horn of Digi-Key Electronics explains the role of new connectors.
Qspeed silicon diodes feature low Qrr for switching-speed
Power Integrations has announced its 600V 12A Qspeed diode, delivering low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) for a silicon diode. With a Qrr of just 14 nC at 25°C, it improves efficiency of the PFC stage of on-board chargers and significantly reduces the thermals of the PFC MOSFETs.
Dual power rail I2C bus GPIO expanders improve design
Diodes Incorporated has announced 16-bitPI4IOE5V6416Qand 34-bitPI4IOE5V6534Qbidirectional voltage-level translation GPIO expanders (general-purpose I/O) for automotive applications. The automotive-compliant, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified devices with dual voltage rail provide enhanced programmable I/O for next-generation low voltage microprocessors and microcontrollers via the I2C interface.
