ON Semiconductor Introduces Integrated Switching Buck Regulators
ON Semiconductor has introduced a new series of switching buck regulators for space-constrained, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) sensitive automotive entertainment and infotainment applications. These highly integrated devices offer what the company says are industry leading conversion ratios for battery connected switch-mode power supplies.
The NCV890100, NCV890101, NCV890130, NCV890131, NCV890200, NCV890201 and NCV890231 each incorporate an internal power switch and operate at 2 megahertz (MHz). The 2 MHz switching frequency allows the use of smaller, less costly inductors and capacitors for both the input and output filters. The switching frequency of the NCV890101, NCV890131, NCV890201 and NCV890231 devices can also be synchronized to an external clock source.
"These switching regulators are highly optimized for use in modern automotive information and entertainment applications," said Jim Alvernaz, ON Semiconductor director of automotive products. The combination of the high switching frequency and an internal N-channel power switch enables the design of highly compact automotive power systems."

According to the company, while competitive devices are capable of converting 16 down to 3.3V, the devices in this new series from ON Semiconductor have the capacity to convert an 18V input to outputs as low as 3.3V and a 16V input to outputs as low as 2.5V, while maintaining a constant switching frequency of 2 MHz. These devices can operate over a voltage range from 4.5 up t 36V, and can tolerate load dump voltages up to 4V (45V for 890 x 3x versions), making them very well suited to harsh automotive start-stop and cold-crank conditions. The NCV890100, NCV890101, NCV890130 and NCV890131 deliver 1.2A of peak output current, while the NCV890200, NCV890201 and NCV890231 deliver a peak output current of 2A.
The NCV890100, NCV890101, NCV890200, NCV890130, NCV890131, NCV890231 and NCV890201 are all AEC Q100 qualified and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) capable. The devices are offered in Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN-8, DFN-10 and SOIC−8 packages, and are priced at $1.13 to $1.50 per unit in 2500 unit quantities.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
