Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced that it is sampling solid capacitors utilizing niobium as the anode material. Research teams at Vishay have developed a new patent-pending manufacturing technique that yields solid niobium capacitors with a conventional MnO2 cathode that can be used as drop-in replacements for devices built with tantalum. The first solid niobium […]
EOS Corp. (Camarillo, CA) introduced a new ac/dc switching power supply, the MVLT110 Series of open-frame switching power supplies. The EOS units are designed to power a wide range of medical electronic equipment. Packing over 6.8W per cubic inch in a 3in x 5in x 1.07in footprint, the power supply delivers 110W of output power […]
Linear Technology (Milpitas, CA) announced the LTC1983-3, the first 100mA regulated charge-pump inverter in a SOT-23 package. The 900kHz operating frequency and low-profile (1mm) SOT-23 package provides the smallest solution size for generating a regulated -3V supply from a single-cell lithium-ion battery. The extremely small circuit requires only two external ceramic capacitors and makes this […]
Linear Technology (Milpitas, CA) introduced the LTC1644 CompactPCI hot-swap controller that controls all four supply voltages as well as pre-charging the data bus pins and generating the local reset signal. Internal switches control the ±12V supplies while external n-channel transistors control the 3.3V and 5V supplies. Circuit breakers on all supplies feature foldback current limiting […]
Schurter Inc. (Petaluma, CA) announced the new IEC outlets for the hot-swap of power supplies. The IEC outlets eliminate the need for a detachable line cord by providing for easy power connection and disconnection of power supplies to a backplane. Designed for the quick change of power supplies in server equipment, the connector provides for […]
