RICOH introduced RM590 with a powerful 400mA Buck DC/DC converter and built-in inductor along with the high operating frequency of 6 MHz which, requires a significantly small PCB board space and a low number of external components. The RM590 can be configured for either PWM/VFM automatic shift operation or forced PWM operation by controlling of MODE pin. Targeted…

Allegro MicroSystems introduced a new A89307 automotive-qualified gate driver integrated circuit (IC) which, is designed for battery cooling fans and HVAC systems in electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles. The A89307 offers ultra-low noise and vibration by using a Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm to drive continuous sinusoidal current to the load, helping automakers reduce…

Digi-Key Electronics has released new features for its popular Scheme-it tool which is a free online schematics and diagramming solution for engineers, educators and students. The Scheme-it is a cloud-based tool is available to users globally for designing and sharing electronic circuit diagrams and schematics. It includes a comprehensive electronic symbol library and…

Infineon introduced EZ-PD BCR (Barrel Connector Replacement) which is a highly integrated USB-C controller, together with the USB-C connector, it replaces barrel connectors, custom connectors, or legacy USB connectors in electronic devices. The EZ-PD BCR solution supports the USB Power Delivery (PD) standard that interoperates with all USB-C power adapters without the need…

ROHM’s new compact high accuracy barometric pressure sensor IC, BM1390GLV-Z performs temperature compensation for MEMS inside the chip internally, so it’s very easy to get pressure information. BM1390GLV (-Z) IC is featuring a waterproof rating of IPX8, ideal for home appliances, industrial equipment, and compact IoT devices. Altitude measurement, pressure control…

Nexperia announced two PESD5V0R1BxSF extremely low clamping and capacitance bidirectional Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection diodes. Based on Treos technology with active silicon-controlled rectification, the devices ensure optimal signal integrity for USB4TM (up to 2 x 20 Gbps) data lines on laptops and peripherals, smartphones, and other portable electronic equipment…

The R5449 is one-cell Li-ion / polymer battery protection IC that provides overcharge, over-discharge, discharge/charge overcurrent, and temperature detections. The IC can drive external high-side Nch MOSFETs and provides a high-accuracy detection at overcharge and overcurrent, and a high-accuracy charge inhibition for 0V battery. Furthermore, the IC can reduce the supply…
