X2 capacitors for harsh environments
Cornell Dubilier Electronics is aiming at harsh environments with a series of X2, EMI-RFI suppression capacitors. “The MXH series is AEC-Q200 qualified and has been temperature, humidity and bias (THB) life tested. “The 2,000-hour test conducted at 85°C, 85% relative humidity at rated voltage subjected these components to twice the standard test hours required to meet IEC 60834, Class III-B ...
Server-class embedded motherboard for Gen 5 Xeon
Kontron has released an ATX server-class motherboard designed to bring Intel’s 4th and 5th generation Xeon scalable processors to embedded applications. Called K9051-C741, it has Intel’s C741 chipset, and an LGA4677 socket for processors up to 350W. DDR5 RDIMM memory is supported up to 768Gbyte and 5600Mtransfer/s. 10G Ethernet is supported through two RJ45 ports and there are six SATA ...
Top-cooled industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module
Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack designs [in] industrial power supplies, electric vehicle charging stations and on-board chargers,” according to Nexperia. It “has a low inductance package and it has been qualified to ...
Dev kit for space-qualified FPGAs with QML qualification
Microchip is aiming at satellite designers with a development kit built around its radiation tolerant RT PolarFire FPGAs, for which MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification has been gained and both Class Q and Class V qualification have been sought. October 2023 update: RT PolarFire FPGA’s are now QML (qualified manufacturers list) Class Q qualified, as designated by the US Defense Logistics ...
4.5-60Vin 6Aout dc-dc converter is miniscule
Vishay has squeezed point-of-load buck regulators into a 10.6 x 6.5 x 3mm package, including one that accepts inputs across 4.5 to 60V and can deliver 6A continuous at voltages down to 800mV. Another has a 25A output. Internal synchronous rectification allows efficiency, in one model, to be as high as 97%. “The regulator modules each offer two high performance ...
Automotive companion chip gives an MCU power, a CAN transceiver, and more
STMicroelectronics has combined two LDOs, a CAN FD transceiver, four PWM-able high-side switches, a watchdog timer and a LIN transceiver into a single automotive-grade power IC. Called SPSB081, its aim is to provide a companion microcontroller with power, two serial interface transceivers, battery-voltage high-side load drivers and power for its peripherals. There are four devices giving 5V or 3.3V from ...
220V 16 pole analogue switch aimed at piezoelectric transducers
Texas Instruments has announced a 220V (or ±110V) analogue switch with 16 channel of single-throw switching. It has logic-level (1.8 to 5V) control inputs, with thresholds set by the separate 1.7 to 5.5V logic supply, and needs at least 40V across its switch supply pins (0V and +40V, or ±20V, for example) to operate. Absolute max for the controlled signal ...
Binder turns to PBC15 quick-locking power supply connector
Binder, the industrial connector specialist, has created a new power bayonet connector, the PBC15. Suitable for power supply and signal linking of devices via one cable, the PBC15 – in the field of power supply connectors – is intended to bridge gaps between M12 and M23 designs. Typical applications are foreseen in factory and process automation and machine engineering. With ...
