To address the increasing demand of high voltage MOSFETs, Infineon Technologies introduce a new member of its CoolMOS™ P7 family, the 950V CoolMOS P7 Super-junction MOSFET to meet the most rigorous design requirements for lighting, smart meter, mobile charger, notebook adapter, AUX power supply and industrial SMPS applications. This new…
A new series of next-generation 650V power MOSFETs was announced by Toshiba, that are intended to be used in server power supplies in data centers, solar (PV) power conditioners, uninterruptible power systems (UPS) and other industrial applications.
The first power MOSFET in the DTMOS VI series is the 650V TK040N65Z…
An asynchronous counter (or ripple counter) is a sequential digital circuit in which the outputs of flip-flops are connected in series, so that the output of one flip-flop serves as the clock input to the next stage. Not all flip-flops may change state at the same time as synchronous counters, so asynchronous counters are easier to design but may experience propagation delays.

Vishay Intertechnology released its first device in new IHSR series of high temperature commercial inductors. Designed for multi-phase, high current power supplies and filters in computer, industrial, and telecom applications, the Vishay Dale IHSR-4040DZ-51 can reduce DCR 50% over typical power inductors and a 20 % profile reduction over similar ferrite products.…
STMicroelectronics released a new plug-and-play wireless battery charger development kit STEVAL-ISB045V1 for small IoT devices and wearables to quickly build ultra-compact chargers up to 2.5W with a space-saving 20mm-diameter coil.
The development kit is built around the STWBC-WA wireless charging-…
Infineon Technologies introduces the next generation TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT6 for small motor drives up to 1 kW. With a 650 V blocking voltage these devices are intended for specific applications requiring greater efficiency, long lifetime and high reliability, such as home appliances, industrial sewing machines and general purpose drives which can be found in e.g. fans, pumps and…
Circuit schematics are crucial for electronics engineers to understand. For the majority of real-world applications, Class A amplifiers offer the lowest distortion, Class B amplifiers the most efficiency, and Class AB amplifiers the best resolution. The particular needs for power, distortion, and efficiency will determine the choice.
A push-pull…
Diodes Incorporated released AP72200, a high-current synchronous buck/boost DC-DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side H-Bridge MOSFETs, which delivers up to 97% efficiency with 1% voltage regulation accuracy, low quiescent current, and very low output ripple.
By using the Diodes Incorporated’s proprietary buck/boost current-mode…
In electronics, a regulator is a device or mechanism which can regulate power output constantly. There are different kinds of regulators available in the power supply domain. But mainly, in the case of DC to DC conversion, there are two types of regulators available: Linear or Switching.
A linear regulator regulates the output using a resistive…

In August, Toshiba starts mass production and shipments of its 40V N-channel power MOSFETs - “TPWR7904PB” and “TPW1R104PB”, for automotive applications. They will be available in DSOP Advance(WF) packages that comes with double-sided cooling, low resistance, and small size.
The power MOSFETs secure high heat…
Op-Amp (Operational Amplifier) is the backbone of Analog electronics. An operational amplifier is a DC-coupled electronic component which amplifies Voltage from a differential input using resistor feedback. Op-Amps are popular for its versatility as they can be configured in many ways and can be used in different aspects. An op-amp circuit consists of few…
