AC-DC power supplies target cardiac floating requirements
Advanced Energy has announced the NCF150 series of high-isolation, low-leakage current AC-DC power supplies that enable medical equipment designers to meet the cardiac floating (CF) requirements of the IEC 60601-1 medical safety standard using off-the-shelf products. Type CF is the most stringent medical electrical safety classification and is essential for medical products that may come […]
FAQ on voltage and current sources: part 2
Voltage and the lesser-known current sources provide important IC, circuit, and system functions. Current sources We have examined voltage sources, and now we can examine their less-known but necessary complement, the current source. Q: What is a current source? A: As the name implies, the current source is like a voltage source but different. It […]
FAQ on voltage and current sources: part 1
Voltage and the lesser-known current sources provide critical IC, circuit, and system functions. Voltage sources and their complement to current sources are essential elements of many systems, circuits, and IC designs. Experimenters and novice engineers are familiar with voltage sources of various types — even if not by that name — in the form of […]
AC-DC power supplies deliver 3 V to 48 V over wide input voltage range
XP Power introduces the EHL series of PCB mount AC-DC power supplies that deliver single output voltages ranging from 3.3VDC to 48VDC. Available in both open-frame and encapsulated mechanical formats, the EHL05 (5W) and EHL20 (20W) high-power density power supplies feature an ultra-wide input range of 85VAC to 528VAC for global compatibility and high stability during fluctuating power conditions. […]

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 […]
GaN gate driver optimizes e-mode GaN HEMT performance
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 […]
Industrial ac-dc power supplies meet EMI standards, offer versatile installation options
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the ZWS-C series of 10, 15, 30, and 50W-rated industrial AC-DC power supplies. The products meet EN55011/EN55032-B conducted and radiated EMI in either a Class I or Class II (double insulated) construction, without the need for external filtering or shielding. With electrolytic capacitor lifetimes of up to 15 years, […]
