Low-power radiation-tolerant FPGA for high-bandwidth space systems
Microchip has announced the RT PolarFire FPGA that is optimised to meet the most demanding requirements in spacecraft payload systems’ high-speed data paths with the lowest possible power consumption and heat generation. Microchip has extended its RT FPGA offering to bring these capabilities to emerging high-performance space applications.
High-side load switch with slew rate control improves reliability
Diodes Incorporated has announced the introduction of the AP22913, a 2.0A single-channel, slew-rate-controlled load switch with true reverse current blocking (TRCB) for high-side load-switching applications. Single-channel high-side load switches provide an effective way of applying or removing power to a load, particularly to removable peripherals powered through a USB port.
Capacitors provide solutions for space constrained applications
A new range of Surface Mount Device (SMD) safety certifiedMulti Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) designed for use in mains-powered applications, have been launched by KEMET.The CAS series addresses widespread demand for miniaturisation without compromising performance by offering higher capacitance, smaller overall size and simplified assembly versus existing leaded disc devices which represent the majority of safety-certified ceramic capacitors ...
Highly robust gate drivers ensure system safety
Power Integrations hasannounced the launch of its automotive-qualifiedSID1181KQSCALE-iDriver gate driver for 750V-rated IGBTs. The new part expands the company’s range of auto-qualified driver ICs, following the introduction of the 1,200V SID1182KQ driver IC.Compact, efficient and highly robust, the new driver IC uses Power Integrations’ high speed FluxLink communications technology to ensure system safety even during fault conditions...
Why infrared thermal imaging devices make sense for electricians
Heat is a byproduct of operating any sized electrical circuit. Most problems in electrical systems display themselves in terms of heat. Electricians must be able to classify a circuit as normal when the load is on or identify when it is abnormal and identify the issues that presents – finding hot spots that need attention. By John H. Waggoner, Senior Instructor, FLIR Infrared Training Center
Two products honoured by Laser Focus World
LASER COMPONENTS has won an award for its ALBALUX and QuickSwitch products. US industry magazine Laser Focus World has honoured both with its Innovators Award. The accolade is awarded to products that stand out because of their originality, innovation, and impact on designers, systems integrators, or users, if the submission is likely to fulfil new market needs, leverages a novel technology, or increases productivity.
Buck regulators offer peak efficiencies of 98%
Two new families of 2A to 12A microBUCK synchronous buck regulators featuring wide input voltage ranges from 4.5V to 55V (SiC476/7/8/9) and 4.5V to 60V (SiC466/7/8/9) have been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology.
