Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX8930, an integrated power-management IC (PMIC) for cell phone displays. By integrating a white LED (WLED) driver, passive-matrix organic LED (PMOLED) driver, and a linear drop-out regulator (LDO) in a 10mm² package, this PMIC reduces solution size by over ...

National Semiconductor introduced nine new Simple Switcher power modules that feature an extended operating temperature range and vibration and drop testing for use in harsh environments. The ruggedized LMZ10503/4/5EXT, LMZ12001/2/3EXT and LMZ14201/2/3EXT power modules provide the efficiency of a sy...

Germanischer Lloyd has granted GL approval to Weidmüller’s family of switch-mode power supplies 'PRO-M'. The units can now be deployed in national and international shipbuilding projects, ship refurbishments, in 'marine engineering structures' as well as the offshore sector such as in wind turbine s...

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...

Infineon launched the 650V CoolMOS C6/E6 series of power MOSFETs, combining the advantages of superjunction (SJ) devices such as low on-resistance and reduced capacitive switching losses with control of switching behaviour as well as high body diode ruggedness. Based on the same technology platform,...

Murata Power Solutions has expanded its range of Okami non-isolated point-of-load DC-DC converters with the introduction of the OKI-78SR series of switching regulator converters for industrial applications. A direct drop-in replacement for industry standard three-terminal 7803 and 7805 series LDOs, ...
