Diodes Incorporated has introduced a synchronous DC-DC buck converter for point-of-load (POL) conversion. The AP62600 converter IC can deliver up to 6A output with a supply voltage of 4.5V to 18V, it is designed with high side and low side MOSFETs with 36mΩ and 14mΩ on resistance, respectively. AP62600 is available in a 2mm x 3mm package, hence they can be used in the…

A team of scientists leads by Dr. Gareth Conduit at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering at A*STAR, and Nanyang Technological University have used AI for predicting electric vehicle battery states and to give an ‘accurate’ prediction for lithium-ion cells state of charge and health.

According to the article published, the data-driven…

The world’s largest LoRaWAN event, The Things Conference 2020 took place in Amsterdam, on January 30-31 2020. Experts from leading industries in the ecosystem such as Google, ST, Murata, Semtech, and others came together to showcase the endless possibilities of IoT with LoRaWAN.

The event is organized by The Things Network, a global open-source…

Allegro MicroSystems has launched a coreless current sensor named ACS37612. This device is capable of measuring currents from 200A to >1000A flowing through a PCB or a busbar with a typical accuracy of 1% that too without a magnetic concentrator core or a shield. The differential Hall-based sensing topology used to measure the magnetic field provides great immunity to…

The Isolator features an industry-leading 1.5kVRMS working voltage and supports temperature up to the Grade 0 maximum of 150°C. With an isolation voltage of 5kVRMS, The ISO7741E-Q1 can deliver reliable…

Maxim Integrated introduces the MAX32520 ChipDNA secure Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller, the first secure microcontroller with built-in physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for financial- and government-grade security.  Maxim’s PUF technology allows for multiple layers of protection to provide the most advanced key-protection technology in a cost-effective…

Infineon Technologies has introduced the 600V, CoolMOS S7 product family for power density and energy efficiency in applications where MOSFETs are switched at a low frequency. The product family was developed to minimize conduction losses and ensure the fastest response time together with increased efficiency for low-frequency switching applications. The RDS (on) x A…

MORNSUN has introduced a series of ultra-compact size AC/DC converters called LSxx-13Bxx, that can cover 5W,8W,10W segments. The new series is an extension of previous LS series, with this new series the LS family can now provide up to 15W power range. The new series is housed in a compact vertical and 90° bent pins SIP packages, the new open frame LSxx-13Bxx series can be…

MORNSUN has introduced a new series of dual-channel digital isolator IC called SCM37xxA that can insulate the electronic subsystems interacting with each other during data transmission. These isolators can protect the subsystems from noise and high voltages so that they can be widely used in the medical, industrial, civil, and military industries. The new isolator IC…

RECOM has introduced the RPMH-0.5 series of non-isolated DC/DCs in a standard 12.19 x 12.19 x 3.75mm DOSA-compatible thermally-enhanced low profile LGA package. These devices can operate in the input range of 4.3 V to 65 V, this makes them suitable for devices operating on nominal 5, 12, 24 or 48V rails. With 0.5A output, five trimmable fixed outputs are available: 3.3V (+10…

Diodes Incorporated has introduced the AP62600, a Synchronous DC-DC buck converter that delivers up to 6A of output current from a supply voltage of 4.5V to 18V. The converter can be used for point-of-load (POL) conversion in applications such as TVs, monitors, white goods, home appliances, consumer electronics, and large-scale integrated circuits. The device incorporates…

Designers of automotive self-driving systems can now enable higher-speed autonomous driving through the industry’s fastest and smallest Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) ICs from Maxim Integrated Products.
