Available from Cambridge-based Components Bureau, the Excelsys CoolX 3000 series by Advanced Energy is packaged in a small form factor (300 x 131 x 120mm), for a smaller footprint in harsh industrial and medical applications. The intelligent, user-configurable modular power supply offers analogue and digital management. It is equipped with up to 24 isolated outputs, all of which are isolated ...

STMicroelectronics’ 800V 8H triacs operate at full rated current up to the maximum junction temperature of 150°C, allowing heatsinks in drives for AC loads to smaller, claims the company. The family spans 8A to 30A, and the 800V peak off-state voltage allows mains applications including operating from up to 400V three phase. They can withstand fast transients up to 6kV, ...

Excel Cell Electronics (ECE) ESR5 series of solid-state relays are available with or without LED Indicators, with ac or dc control inputs, and, separately, with ac or dc-type outputs. “Characteristics include its zero voltage turn-on, zero voltage turn-off to minimise EMI and RFI, and output snubber circuit protection. It also has a high surge rating to allow lamp and motor ...

L7983 is a 3 to 60V input 300mA output synchronous dc-dc converter from ST Microelectronics whose mode can be pin-selected to keep noise down or maximise efficiency at light load The variable output variant can provide from 850mV to Vin. Low noise operation mode is essentially fixed frequency, and low consumption operation is variable frequency with single output pulses or bursts ...

UnitedSiC has revealed four 750V silicon carbide power transistors, the first devices from its fourth generation process it unveiled earlier this year. The unusual 750V rating is to allow additional design margin for 400V or 500V battery and bus applications compared with 650V devices, and improvements compared with the company’s third generation means that “gen4 750V transistors are better than Gen3 ...

EDA company, Mentor, has joined Nano 2022, the latest project to promote the French electronics manufacturing industry. It covers components, connectors and PCBs, to design and assembly, distribution, embedded software and software tools. The project is part of the European Commission’s Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) to promote research and innovation in power ICs, sensors, optical equipment and ...

UnitedSiC has added four silicon carbide junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes complement its SiC FET and JFET transistor products. The UJ3D 1,200V and 1,700V devices are part of the company’s 3rd generation of ‘merged-PiN-Schottky’ (MPS) diodes. The Vf x Qc figure-of-merit is emphasised by the company. Picking one of the four at random, this typically is 1.4V x 51nC (25°C, ...

Ampleon has announced a 250W RF power transistor for solid-state cooking and ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) applications in the 2.4 to 2.5GHz frequency band. Called BLP2425M10S250P, it is made on the company’s tenth-generation LDMOS process and operates with 67% drain efficiency. Described as “cost-optimised” by Ampleon, it swaps the traditional ceramic package for plastic to better compete with traditional 2.45GHz ...

Maxim has announced a suite of integrated circuits and reference designs for industrial automation using IO-Link communications. IO-Link is a short-range (<20m) point-to-point industrial bus developed to connect sensors and actuators to a local hub, from which the data is transferred to a remote PLC (programmable logic controller) via Ethernet or other long-range field bus. “The IO-Link interface allows every ...

Specialist distributor, Relec Electronics, has added the CHB150W12 and CHB200W12, wide input DC-DC modules. The CHB150W12 (150W) and CHB200W12 (200W) half brick DC-DC converters have an ultra-wide, 12:1 universal input range of 14-160Vdc. They are rugged, making them practical for use in railway applications, distributed power architectures, telecommunications, battery operated equipment and industrial applications. Both families meet the railway standards ...
