Power Integrations announced the MinE-CAP IC for high power density, universal input AC-DC converters. By halving the size of the high-voltage bulk electrolytic capacitors required in offline power supplies, this new type of IC enables a reduction in adapter size of up to 40%...

A four-quadrant dc-dc converter offers an elegant way to control currents and voltages, and is able to set current to any level...

Vishay Intertechnology introduced an AEC-Q101 qualified n-channel 60 V MOSFET that is the industry’s first such device in the PowerPAK® SO-8L dual asymmetric package...

Diodes Incorporated announced new additions to its expanding portfolio of automotive-compliant logic devices. The 74AHC1GxxQ (standard CMOS) and 74AHCT1GxxQ (TTL compatible) devices are AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified...

A switching regulator can be constructed either monolithically or via a controller. In a monolithic switching regulator, the respective power switches, usually MOSFETs, are integrated within a single silicon chip. With controllers, in addition to the controller IC, the power semiconductors must be selected and positioned separately...

Infinet Wireless, together with its partner Flex, has successfully tested the Quanta 70 platform, pushing it to the limits in the most challenging conditions possible. A link was successfully deployed between the towns of Klin and Dubna in the Moscow region, over a distance of 51 km, and delivered results which are simply a unique achievement...

This Design Idea describes a single white-LED torch, which can be housed in an empty glue-stick tube and has a long rechargeable-battery life. The circuit is constructed with just a few commonly available parts...

Leveraging a multi-patented design that significantly reduces the footprint and height of power-conversion circuitry, Murata has introduced the UltraBK family of compact, low-profile, fully integrated DC/DC converters...

Although the prevailing number set in electronics is binary, human-machine interaction uses a decimal-number set. For this reason, designs often require the use of amplifiers with gain programmable in steps in the power of 10...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has further expanded its portfolio of driver solutions for brushed DC and stepper motors with the introduction of the TC78H660FNG...
