Long field life DIN rail power supply with narrow 84mm width
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. Applications for the DRB480-48-1 include factory automation, industrial process control, semiconductor fabrication, communications and test and measurement equipment.
Capacitors combat vibration up to 30G
A range of anti-vibration aluminium electrolytic capacitors from Panasonic are now being shipped by Farnell. The components are suitable for use in DC/DC Converters and AC/DC converters in a wide variety of transportation and harsh-environment applications such as industrial, power supply and robotics, due to their small size, reliability and strong, dependable soldering connectability.
Smart AC/DC low-dropout linear voltage regulator
The TPS7A78 improves the overall efficiency and standby power in power supplies for an easy-to-use non-magnetic approach to AC/DC conversion. The TPS7A78 uses an external capacitor to create a current source and actively clamps the rectified voltage. The device then regulates the voltage down to the application-specific operating voltage.
Three-phase gate driver with smart shutdown enhances safety
The STMicroelectronics STDRIVE601 three-phase gate driver for 600V N-channel power MOSFETs and IGBTs provides ruggedness against negative voltage spikes down to -100V and responds to logic inputs in a class-leading 85ns.
Film capacitors withstand THB Testing of 85°C
Three series of X1, X2, and Y2 electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression film capacitors for standard across the line and line bypass applications have been unveiled by Vishay Intertechnology. Designed to meet the most stringent requirements for robustness against humidity, the F340 EMI suppression family is certified to IEC 60384-14: 2013 ed. 4 / AMD1: 2016 grade IIIB: "High Robustness Under High Humidity."
Capacitor series offers reduced voltage drops
The extended Vishay Polytech T55 series of vPolyTan surface-mount polymer tantalum moulded chip capacitors are available at New Yorker Electronics. The new devices in the D case (EIA 7343-31) size features single-digit ESR values from 9mΩ down to 7mΩ, with values to 6mΩ in development.
Birmingham technology could defend UK against power blackouts
Technology developed at the University of Birmingham could protect the UK and other countries from national electricity blackouts. Britain has high-voltage, direct-current (HVDC) transmission links with neighbouring countries, including France, Ireland, Holland and Norway, an efficient way of transporting electricity, but vulnerable to alternating-current (AC) faults.
Step-down converter with low quiescent current
The TPS6282x from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC/DC converters family with a very low quiescent current of only 4µA. Based on the DCS-Control topology, it provides a fast transient response. The internal reference allows to regulate the output voltage down to 0.6V with a high feedback voltage accuracy of one percent over the junction temperature range of -40 to 125°C.
