Transformers pre-approved for push-pull drivers save time
A782100 series of transformers has been announced by Murata. The product has beendesigned specifically for use with the Peregrine (pSemi) PE22100 push-pull DC/DC converter driver ICs. The combination of driver IC and transformer allows easy implementation of an isolated DC/DC converter rated up to 1W, typically used for powering the secondary side of an isolated data interface such as RS232, RS485 or CAN bus.
Highest power density designed for IGBT in surface mounting
Infineon Technologies has expanded its product portfolio of the thin-wafer technology TRENCHSTOP5 IGBT. The new product family is offering up to 40A 650V IGBT, co-packed with a full rated 40A diode in a surface mounting TO-263-3 also known as D2PAK. The new TRENCHSTOP 5 IGBT in D2PAK package serves the growing demand for higher power density in power devices for automated surface mounted assembly.
