There are ways to maintain bias voltages in electrical systems over a wide range of source voltages, says Victor Khasiev, senior applications engineer at ADI

Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top power products to have been released in September.

COSEL has announced the addition of an 80W DC/AC converter to its value added STMGF platform.Available in two versions, the STMGFS80 covers industrial voltages from 9V to 76V.

In industrial automation machinery, regenerative braking is a technique employing the existing structures and energy of electric motors (and their drives) along with dedicated subcomponents to slow, stop, and re-actuate axes. Rolf Horn of Digi-Key Electronics explains further.

Modern vehicles offer a dazzling array of driver safety, comfort, and infotainment features, many of which rely on wireless connectivity. Pre-certified wireless modules that include an antenna are extremely popular, but they don’t offer a viable option for some applications. Mark Patrick of Mouser Electronics explains further.

Nexperiahas announced small, low profile 14,16, 20 and 24 pin packages for standard logic devices. For example, the 16 pin DHXQFN package is 45% smaller than the industry-standard DQFN16 leadless device. Not only has it reportedly got a smaller footprint compared to competitors, but the new package also offers a 25% saving in PCB area.

KEMET has announced its new C4AK high temperature, power film DC-Link film capacitor designed for continuous operation up to 1,000 hours at 135oC. The C4AK series joins the C4AU (harsh environment) and C4AQ-P (125°C) family of power DC-Link film capacitors.

The Cornell Dubilier Electronics new BLH series film capacitors optimised for inverter DC Link Applications are in stock at New Yorker Electronics.

LED-based lighting is increasingly popular in automotive applications like headlights and rear lights. These applications use an LED driver circuit, with the goal to maintain constant current. LEDs in modern automotive rear lights generally require current below 150mA which, given electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cost considerations, has made a linear LED driver a more appealing solution than a switching regulator.
