Vincotech announced that the flowIPM 1B product family is now also available without PFC (Power Factor Correction). The compact design and thermal management of this IPM (Intelligent Power Modules) make it a solution for crowded mechanical environments. The flowIPM is used most frequently for applic...

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX17117, a complete power solution for gate-on-array (GOA) notebook LCD panels. This fully integrated device includes a 7-channel, high-voltage scan driver for the TFT panel gate drivers; a MOSFET boost converter for AVDD supply; a 350mA LDO; and a high-spee...

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...
