C&K Components has developed two series of rocker switches. Designated the CG and the CL series, the UL- and CSA-approved single pole power rocker switches feature two-tone and multi-colored illuminated actuators.

The CG series single pole switches are available with a two-tone actuator (offered...

Maxim introduces the MAX14514, a ±15kV ESD-protected, DC-to-AC converter designed for driving two electroluminescent (EL) lamps. This EL lamp driver utilizes an inductor-based boost converter to generate a high 300VP-P (max) voltage for maximum EL lamp brightness. A high-voltage, full-bridge output ...

National Semiconductor announced a synchronous voltage-mode buck controller that drives a variety of high-current point-of-load applications. A input voltage range of 3V to 20V allows the LM27402 to interface with all intermediate bus voltages, including 3.3V, 5.0V and 12V rails. Integrated inductor...

After 35 years, including seven years on the Executive Board and five years as its Chairman, Michael Vohrer (62) has announced his retirement.
