Capacitor line achieves extended failure rate
KYOCERA AVX announced that its TWA Series axial-leaded, hermetically sealed wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors have undergone additional qualification testing to MIL-PRF-39006, FSC 5910, and detail specification sheet MIL-PRF-39006/33, and have had their failure rate extended to include Level P (i.e., 0.1% per 1,000 hours). As a result, the revision of the Qualified Parts List (QPL) […]
Versatile, ac-dc power supply for medical and industrial use
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand CUS800M and CUS1000M AC-DC power supply series in a 6.73 x 3.35 x 1.67” (171 x 85 x 42.5mm) case size. Rated at up to 800W and 1000W, these very compact products also feature a variable speed fan with typically 30 – 42dBA audible noise. The […]
Gate driver optimizes EMI and power efficiency for motor control
Infineon Technologies AG introduces the MOTIX TLE9140EQW gate driver IC for brushless DC motors targeting the demanding 24/48 V market. The TLE9140 is tailored for automotive motor control applications featuring higher voltage requirements from 24 V up to a maximum of 72 V, where higher system reliability and faster switching behavior are necessary. The IC […]
Resistors provide improved reliability for automotive and industrial applications
Many types of electronic products across a variety of market segments require higher reliability components. Automotive grade resistors offer increased reliability and improved performance without the high cost and limited availability of components procured to established reliability military specifications. For those applications that also require a defined pulse withstanding the options become limited. Stackpole’s RPCA […]
Gate driver empowers GaN-based power systems
Innoscience Technology announced the INS1001DE which is designed to drive single-channel GaN HEMTs in either low-side, high-side, or secondary-side SR applications. The new gate driver has dual non-inverting and inverting PWM inputs, enabling flexible operation with the controller, optocoupler, and digital isolator. Independent Pull-up and Pull-down outputs facilitate the control of turn-on and turn-off speeds. Driver […]
