Diodes Incorporated announced the AL5890. This linear constant-current regulator provides simple and more cost-effective solutions for driving LED strings from an offline or DC power supply...

Analog Devices announced the Power by Linear LTM4661, a low power step-up µModule® regulator in a 6.25 mm × 6.25 mm × 2.42 mm BGA package. Only a few capacitors and one resistor are required to complete the design...

I needed a simple LED indicator showing that a particular voltage level had been reached – specifically, that a capacitor had charged to a particular potential. I was convinced that there must be a way that a programmable zener diode, such as the TL431, could be used but...

Bosch Sensortec launches the MEMS sensor BMI088, a high-performance Inertial Measurement Unit with outstanding vibration robustness, specifically designed for drone and robotics applications. BMI088 features an extremely stable gyroscope derived from Bosch’s proven automotive technology...

Rather than use a fixed-rail voltage source, it’s more efficient and flexible to utilize a current source so that performance remains consistent while supply rail and coil resistance change...

The STNRG011 digital-power controller from STMicroelectronics simplifies and accelerates development of 90-300 W power supplies and adapters for computers, LED lighting, medical equipment, telecom, and industrial equipment, meeting today’s most stringent eco-design standards...

This Design Idea describes a simple and effective way to provide optoisolation for devices connected on the I2C bus...

Torex Semiconductor has launched the XCL301 series of coil-integrated “micro DC/DC” converters that support negative voltage output. The XCL301 series is the first Torex coil-integrated micro DC/DC converter series that supports negative voltage output...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has broadened its line-up of small surface-mount brushed motor drivers with the addition of the new TB67H420FTG that supports high-voltage applications requiring a large-current drive such as domestic robotic vacuum cleaners, printers and other office equipment...
