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, ...

ON Semiconductor has announced the release of a linear regulator and controller product. The NCV7680 consists of eight linear programmable constant current sources. It is designed for use in the regulation and control of solid state rear combination lamps of vehicles, and is capable of supporting an...
