Solid state lighting leads the way in energy savings
The continued price erosion of LED lighting has helped it displace less efficient incumbent lighting solutions and as such it can be regarded as a disruptive technology. Partly funded by the US Department of Energy, research into SSL has certainly not ceased. While some manufacturers have left the market due to the corresponding drop in average selling prices, those that are left have shown a dedication that should ensure their long-term success....
Zero IQ reverse polarity protection smart diode controller
The LM74610-Q1 from Texas Instruments is a controller device that can be used with an N-Channel MOSFET in a reverse polarity protection circuitry. It is designed to drive an external MOSFET to emulate an ideal diode rectifier when connected in series with a power source.
SiC MOSFETs come with 65, 120 and 280 mΩ on-resistance
A robust family of silicon carbide semiconductor devices from Wolfspeed is available with design support from Richardson RFPD. According to Wolfspeed, the E-Series line of SiC MOSFETs represents the industry’s first automotive-qualified, PPAP-capable and humidity-resistant MOSFETs.
Flash LED drivers deliver stability in quad-channel applications
Diodes Incorporated has announced the AL3644, a high-speed, dual-channel flash LED driver designed to support advanced camera flash and torch functionality, as offered by the latest smartphones and other portable consumer devices.
Low-noise AEC-Q101 diodes solve challenges in power amplifiers
Power Integrations has announced that its 200V Qspeed diodes, LQ10N200CQ and LQ20N200CQ, are now available with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Qspeed silicon diodes use merged-PIN technology to offer a unique balance of soft switching and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr). This results in low EMI and reduced output noise, which is especially important for in-vehicle audio systems.
Miniature automotive MOSFETs bring increased power density
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the 40V-rated DMTH4008LFDFWQ and 60V-rated DMTH6016LFDFWQ automotive-compliant MOSFETs packaged in DFN2020. These miniature MOSFETs occupy just ten percent of the PCB area of larger packages, such as SOT223, enabling greater power density in DC/DC converters, LED backlighting, ADAS, and other ‘under-the-hood’ automotive applications.
Battle of the Fixes: Quick Fix vs Right Fix
Over the last few decades, the rising popularity of televisions, tablets, and smartphones has fueled a giant industry, manufacturing these devices on a large scale to suit the general needs of the consumer market. Attracted by cost savings and ready availability, companies are increasingly adopting these consumer products within industrial embedded systems.
mmWave transceiver system drives 6G research
A real-time sub THz software-defined radio (SDR) for 6G research is built on NI’s mmWave Transceiver System (MTS) and Virginia Diodes’ (VDI) radio heads. Using VDI radio heads, the frequency range of the MTS can extend into the sub THz range.
Glass passivated bridge rectifiers meet many applications
Several products from Lite-On Semiconductor, including Glass Passivated Bridge Rectifiers and a new series of Sic Schottky Diodes have been released by New Yorker Electronics. Since 2011, the manufacturer has been the largest global AC/DC GPP Bridge supplier. The NTT, the LVF/Ultra LVF and the GBJS have high surge current capacities and high heat dissipation.
