Vishay launched four 600-V FRED Pt Hyperfast rectifiers that reduce switching losses in high-efficiency PFC and SMPS applications. The four devices are optimized for high-efficiency PFC and high-power-efficiency SMPS applications, and as adaptors for desktop PCs, servers, wide screen PDPs and LCDs, ...

Linear Technology announces a 16-bit, 105Msps ADC for digital communication between high speed ADCs and FPGAs. The LTC2274’s 2-wire serial interface reduces the number of data input/output (I/O) lines required between a 16-bit ADC and the FPGA from 16 CMOS or 32 LVDS parallel data lines to a single,...

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced a 50 volt laterally diffused MOS (LDMOS) RF power transistor. The MRF6VP3450H delivers more than 450 W peak power at P1dB with 50 percent efficiency throughout the UHF broadcast frequency band. The device is designed for TV transmitters employing both analog an...

Fairchild Semiconductor gives system design engineers a power management solution for Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) platforms found in today's cell phones, portable media players (PMPs) and other portable applications. The FAN5355, an 800mA/1000mA 3MHz Buck converter, has been designed with a propri...

Vishay released a 20-V p-channel TrenchFET power MOSFET in a MICRO FOOT chipscale package. The Si8441DB offers an 0.59-mm profile and a footprint area of 1.5mm by 1mm. It is also the first device of its kind of offer an on-resistance rating at 1.2V. Typical applications will include load switching a...

Several case sizes from NIC Component’s NAZT series of surface mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors are now rated to 260ºC – the current maximum recommended temperature for Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) alloy lead-free reflow solder processes. That making them dedicated for use in power management applications ...

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX15024/MAX15025 single/dual MOSFET drivers in a thermally enhanced, 3mm x 3mm, TDFN package. The MAX15024 is a single gate driver capable of sinking up to 8A and sourcing up to 4A of peak current. The MAX15025 is a dual gate driver capable of sinking and so...
