Best practices for new designs of Profibus DP nodes, bus node isolation, Profibus compliance, and bus signal polarity are discussed by Tom Kugelstadt, Renesas Electronics

New Yorker Electronics and UK-based Isocom, have teamed up to develop a wider worldwide network of certified optoelectronics. Isocom is a specialist manufacturer of optocouplers and optoswitches and is the maker of the pioneering IECQ-CECC BS9400 high-reliability ceramic optocoupler.

A family of offline flyback switcher ICs from Power Integrations that offer efficiency of up to 94% are available from RS Components. They suit state-of-the-art compact power supply designs. The family can also cut power supply losses by a further 25% when compared to the previous generation, enabling the development of small and lightweight power supplies that do not require heatsinks, but can still handle up to 65W of power.

Power Integrations hasannounced theLYTSwitch-6family of safety-isolated LED-driver ICs for smart lighting applications. The new ICs deliver flicker-free output up to 65W, and feature up to 94% efficiency and as little as 15mW standby power, with configuration options for two-stage or single-stage PFC support.

Have you ever wondered what IEC 60067-19 means, or could mean for you? Well here, Dr. Martin Killeen of the AEMT (Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades) outlines the requirements of the international Repair, Overhaul and Reclamation of Hazardous Area Equipment standard IEC 60079-19, and highlights how it impacts on both the service provider and the end user.

Rutronik and Isocom Components have signed a global distribution agreement. It covers the entire product portfolio of the UK company’s optocouplers and optoswitches. “Rutronik is the ideal partner for Isocom due to its global sales network and standardised infrastructure,” claims Justin Elvin, Managing Director at Isocom.

A single-channel, isolated, IGBT and MOSFET gate driver in a wide-body eSOP package has been added toPower Integrations'SCALE-iDriver IC family, SID1102K.Featuring a peak drive current of up to 5A, the new part is able to drive 300A switches without boosters; external boosters can be used to cost-effectively scale gate current up to 60A peak.

Andy Poh, Application Development Manager, Thomas Sng and Chun Keong Tee, Product Marketing Engineers, Broadcom, highlight the importance of effective insulation resistance measurement.

Symbols, footprints, and 3D models for Vishay’s catalogue of optoelectronics products have been released by Digi-Key. The models, made available via online parts library SnapEDA, can be downloaded for free for most major PCB design tools. Designers spend days creating digital models for each component in their circuit board designs.

Power Integrations has announced the release of its InnoSwitch3 family of offline CV/CC flyback switcher ICs. The new devices achieve up to 94% efficiency across line and load conditions, slashing power supply losses by a further 25% and enabling the development of compact power supplies up to 65W without heatsinks.
