EPC is claiming “the lowest on-resistance GaN FET on the market” for its 1mΩ 100V EPC2361, which comes in a 3 x 5mm QFN package with top and bottom cooling. 1mΩ is at 50A 25°C with 5V on the gate, and rises to ~1.8mΩ at the max operating temperature of 150°C (minimum is -40°C). The preliminary data sheet has no ...

Analog Devices has created a stand-alone 100V half-bridge driver for GaN power hemts “with a propagation delay of 10ns and delay matching of 1.5ns between the top and bottom channels, making it suitable for high-frequency dc-dc converters, motor drivers and class-D audio amplifiers”, according to the company. Called LT8418, this IC looks very much like the output stage used within ...

Advanced Energy Industries is showing its NP08 4kW ac-dc power supply at APEC in Long Beach this week. The first member of its NeoPower (NP) family of configurable multi-output supplies, it has eight output slots for configuration and 18W/inch3 claimed density for ~283 x 203 x 64mm chassis. Input is single-phase 90 – 132Vac and 180 – 264Vac. “NP08 also ...

Microchip is aiming at motor control by combining a triple half-bridge mosfet gate driver, a 100MHz processor and CAN FD transceivers in the same IC. Other members of the family offer LIN transceivers instead of CAN, or a CAN interface without transceivers, or no CAN or LIN, and a base model has a 70MHz processor. Some have SENT interfaces for ...

Rohm has created a proprietary trench MOS structure for 100V Schottky diodes to improve the trade-off between forward voltage and reverse leakage. It has been used to create the YQ series of rectifier diodes, available in surface-mount packages from 0.5 x 1mm to TO-263 with ratings between 1A and 30A. Most of them are available with automotive qualification. Leakage is ...

Cosel has announced a series of ac-dc power supplies with enhanced reliability for industrial applications. Called the PDA series, the PSUs are form, fit and function backwards compatible with the company’s 20 year old PBA series, with fewer internal components explaining part of the reliability increase. With more to follow, the initial versions are: PDA15F (15W 31 x 78 x 85mm), ...

Infineon has introduced a ~10 x 20mm antenna-inclusive Bluetooth 5.0 (core spec) module that consumes 1.3mA receiving (-95dBm) and 3mA transmitting (0dBm). Called CYW20822-P4TAI040, it sleeps at 2μA when retaining 32kbyte of ram, or hibernates at 800nA – the latter rising to 950nA hibernating with the wake-up receiver enabled. At maximum transmit power (+4dBm) up to 250m of range can be ...

CUI Devices has added M5 connectors and M5 cable assemblies to its product range. “CDM5 family offers a range of male or female jack or plug versions with 3 or 4 pins,” according to the company. “These connectors and cables are all A coded to support 1Gbit/s Ethernet, while carrying IP67 ratings [once mated] to deal with environments found in ...

Review Display Systems is stocking a pair of industrial mini-STX (140 x 148mm) motherboards from Kontron, built around Intel Alder Lake-N processors with in-built graphics. K3921-N (pictured) has two DisplayPort v1.4, one DisplayPort via front USB type-C, an embedded DisplayPort and a dual-channel 24bit LVDS interface. A total of two 4K UHD and one FHD can be driven. There are ...

NXP has fleshed out the MCX A microcontroller series it announced in 2022. The ‘A’ series is the lower-cost branch of the MCX family, and like other MCX MCUs, the devices are built around an Arm Cortex-M33 core – this is the security-enabled M3. The first parts are MCX A14x (48MHz core) and MCX A15x (96MHz core), which come in ...
