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 ...

Pulsiv, the Cambridge power electronics specialist, is set to release a series of reference designs and assembled modules for USB-C applications that will deliver an average efficiency of more than 95%. This has been developed in collaboration with the GaN company Innoscience and magnetics expert, Frenetic. Designs will be released throughout 2024 to support a new class of sustainable USB-C ...

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 ...

A new technique applied to avalanche photodiodes improves the operating range or sampling rate of OTDRs, says Ben White. An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is a fibre optic network test instrument that measures the characteristics of an optical fibre. It can determine the fibre’s length and attenuation and detect a variety of fault types. The network test instrument works by ...

Alpha Micro and The Antenna Company have signed an agreement to distribute cellular and short range connectivity produces in the UK and Ireland. Described as a strategic partnership and distribution agreement, the two companies will collaborate to reduce time to market for products in development, said wireless connectivity specialist, Alpha Micro. The Antenna Company is headquartered in the Netherlands and ...

Nvidia has added to the Ada Lovelace architecture-based family of laptop GPUs, with the RTX 500 and 1000 Ada Generation laptop GPUs for portable mobile workstations. As with the recently released RTX 2000 (Electronics Weekly RTX 2000 Ada GPU meets AI visualisation demands (electronicsweekly.com),the GPUs have both an NPU (neural processing unit) and the company’s RTX GPU, with Tensor cores ...

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 ...

Panasonic has introduced the ZV Series –  an Electrolytic Polymer Hybrid capacitor with advanced characteristics. It achieves a maximum Ripple Current (3.3~4.6 Arms) – claimed to be approximately 50% higher than comparable case-sizes.  While comparable capacitors usually come up with a ESR of around 16 mΩ at 35V, the ZV series has an ESR of 12 mΩ at this voltage ...

The Raspberry Pi 5 4Gbyte and 8Gbyte boards can now be ordered for same day shipping from Farnell, Raspberry Pi’s exclusive global licensee. The new board features a 2.4GHz quad-core, 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, with 512KB L2 caches and a 2MB shared L3 cache, enabling a greatly expanded range of applications, and on-board dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 connectivity. The ...
