High power, compact, low profile TVS Diodes
Manufacturer of electronic components, Bourns, has introduced two new TVS diode surge protection series’ designed to meet the component miniaturisation required in today's highly integrated and high power density designs. Bourns Model SMF4L and Model SMF4L-Q Series are offered in a compact, low profile surface mount SOD-123FL package with a height of just 1.125mm.
Using eFuses for overvoltage and inrush current protection
Discrete solutions can be used to implement input power protection, but they come with trade-offs. Adding in necessary protection features using discrete components takes up a lot of space and contributes to poor thermal performance.

Long field life 48V 480W DIN rail power supply
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of a 48V 480W output model to the economically priced DRB series of 15 to 480W DIN rail mount power supplies. The product’s narrow 84mm width provides additional space for other DIN rail modules, or the use of a smaller enclosure.
USB Type-C port switch to support audio signals and legacy data
Diodes Incorporated has announced thePI3A6386USB Type-C multimedia port switch, designed to enable manufacturers to continue supporting legacy data and analogue peripherals through USB Type-C ports. As a result of the adoption of USB Type-C ports in mobile phones and tablets, manufacturers are removing other ports such as USB 2.0 and 3.5mm audio sockets. The PI3A6386 port switch enables legacy data and audio signals to be passed through the USB T...

Micromachining helps guide light into new markets
When you think of optical semiconductors, silicon is probably not the first material that springs to mind. The lack of a direct bandgap makes silicon a poor choice for applications such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). However, silicon has a number of useful properties that, in combination with micromachining, can make it a highly effective medium for steering light and processing with it.
