Array of power talent set for APEC 2019 in Anaheim
Power IC, passive component, diode, and MOSFET technologies for a wide range of applications will all be showcased by Vishay Technology at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exhibition (APEC) in Anaheim (March 17-21). Vishay Siliconix power ICs on display at APEC 2019 will include the SiC9xx microBRICK family of high efficiency DC/DC buck regulators.
SiC MOSFET gate driver maximises efficiency and improves safety
Power Integrations hasannounced theSIC1182KSCALE-iDriver, a high efficiency, single-channel SiC MOSFET gate driver that delivers the highest peak output gate current available without an external boost stage. Devices can be configured to support different gate-drive voltage requirements matching the range of requirements seen in SiC MOSFETs today and include advanced safety features making them both compact and robust.
Low power consumption 150mA voltage regulators
A new series of voltage regulators has been launched by Torex Semiconductor, with the XD6216 series. The XD6216 series are positive voltage regulator ICs with 28V of operation voltage. The series consists of a voltage reference, an error amplifier, a current limiter, a thermal shutdown circuit and a phase compensation circuit plus a driver transistor.
External power supplies designed for medical equipment
SL Power hasannounced two new external power supply families to provide medical equipment with the highest level (Level VI) of efficiency and reliability. Rated at 150 and 240W respectively, theME150andME240families are compact desktop-style units with a range of output voltages and connector options. These new power supplies are suitable for medical monitoring applications such as bedside monitors and oximeters, and home healthcare equipment suc...
Space-vector modulation adapted for 8-bit MCU
SPINnaker is a motor control daughter board from Future Electronics for low cost SPACE-Vector-Modulation build for the STMicroelectronics Nucleo-8S208RB kit, a development platform for the STM8S series of low-cost 8-bit microcontrollers board. It is being debuted and demonstrated at embedded world 2019 in Nuremberg (February 26-28).
Compact AC/DC supplies have industrial and medical safety certifications
AC/DC power supplies from TDK-Lambda are certified to the IEC 60601-1 medical safety standard as well as IEC 62368-1. The GXE600 series of 600W convection-cooled supplies can be digitally programmed using an RS-485 interface (Modbus RTU protocol) or with a 0to6V external voltage.
Choosing the right buzzer - a review of key buzzer selection criteria
If you are designing products like a home appliance, security panel, a door-entry system or a computer peripheral, you might choose to feature a buzzer as the sole means of interacting with users or as part of a more sophisticated user interface. By Bruce Rose, Principal Applications Engineer, CUI Devices
Design considerations when choosing a MEMS or ECM microphone
Conversational interaction with smart machines such as home digital assistants is a growing trend, and just one that is driving development of new high tech products that can listen to their surroundings, interpret commands, or gather contextual or environmental data. By Bruce Rose, Principal Applications Engineer, CUI Devices.
High voltage technology for OLED source driver IC
It has been announced by MagnaChip Semiconductor, that it now offers foundry customers its second generation 0.13 micron 18V high voltage process technology. The technology, which is dedicated for designing source drivers for LCD and OLED televisions, offers fewer steps, allows suitable high voltage device design rules to shrink chip size and adds a new device for DAC block design compared to the first generation process.
Advantages of load switches over discrete MOSFETs
In this video, Alek Kaknevicius, Applications Engineer at Texas Instruments, discusses TI’s integrated load switches and what advantages they bring over a discrete MOSFET solution. In general, load switches are put in between a power supply and a load. When the load needs to be on, the load switch is closed. And when the load can be turned off, the load switch is opened.
