Gowanda Electronics has introduced its new SMP2512 Series of surface-mount, wirewound, ferrite core, molded power inductors. This series addresses a market need for a specific combination of size and performance in the power electronics industry and is designed for use in power applications for specific surface mount size – nominally 0.25 inch L x 0.10 inch W – and current
Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. announced the development of the world’s first thin cooling device designed for small, thin electronic devices. Smartphones, tablets, and other similar mobile devices are increasingly multifunctional and fast. These spec improvements, however, have increased heat generated from internal components, and the overheating of localized parts in devices has become problematic. Fujitsu has developed a thin loop heat
Intersil Corporation today claimeded the industry’s first 50A fully encapsulated digital dc-dc PMBus power module. The ISL8272M is a complete step-down power supply that delivers up to 50A of output current from industry standard 12V or 5V input power rails, and four modules can be combined to support up to 200A rails. It provides point-of load conversions for advanced FPGAs,
Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI) today introduced the industry’s first 80-V, 10-A integrated gallium-nitride (GaN) FET power-stage prototype, which consists of a high-frequency driver and two GaN FETs in a half-bridge configuration – all in an easy-to-design quad flat no-leads (QFN) package. TI has an arranged supplier agreement with Efficient Power Conversion Corp. (EPC) for GaN FETs – the LMG5200 is
Silego Technology, Inc. today announces the fourth generation of GreenPAK (GPAK) Mixed-signal Matrix ICs. The GPAK4 family strengthens Silego’s industry leading position in Configurable Mixed-signal ICs (CMIC). Silego’s GPAK4 family of NVM Programmable CMIC devices enables innovative designers to integrate many system functions such as comparators, ADCs, logic, delays, counters, resets, power sequencing, voltage sensing, and interface circuits while minimizing
New zipper fin heat sinks from Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) are protecting thousands of components from the dangers of excess heat at a lower cost than other high fin density heat sink types. Zipper fins are machined from thin sheet metal, typically aluminum or copper, and are formed into custom shapes. The sheets are designed to interlock with a
