Halo Microelectronics is aiming at portable systems with dynamic voltage scaling with a pair of 3A synchronous buck converter that can be programmed on-the-fly over I2C for output voltage and output slew rate. Both run from 2.5 to 5.5V, and are available in multiple variants that affect output characteristics. HL7593 can produce 0.600 to 1.394V in 6.25mV steps HL7594 can ...

Harwin has added male flying leas options to its Kona high-power compact connector range, rated at 1.5kV and 60A per contact. All the new parts are suited to 8AWG wire. “This addition makes it possible to bring male and female cables together for the first time in a cable-to-cable arrangement, whereas previously we were only offering Kona in cable-to-board options,” ...
